Just ask for free access to people's bank accounts, or you'll leave money on the table.
No way that's right, they can't possibly think it's ok to allow charging for updating old titles.
Is the hivemind finally cracking, because I remember the hardcore shilling that went on for PS2 classics.

What a joke of a thread. Consumers will not pay for patches.

So from what I understand the Dev will be charged extra to do more work on a game to increase the assets and take advantage of the extra pro power? If that's it and I'm the Dev why would I pay more to put in more that may not sell much better that the slim version

You'd be surprised.
If From released a 60fps patch for Bloodborne priced at $5 you think it wouldn't sell?
You guys honestly think that Scorpio will be any different?

It is entirely conceivable that you might look at the effort required to make a tangible upgrade Pro patch/update and say well this is going to cost us x amount, we could do it in the hope that it drives some new sales, or maybe we think it won't. Perhaps we could charge for the update and recover our costs in that way.
But frankly I cannot see anyone having the balls to do it - but as I posted already, that Sony employee can't say they will all be free because they cannot guarantee it as publishers and developers can charge for what they want.

Are people reading the updated posts in the opening post, or just the thread title?
It looks likely that it was a mistranslation and it will be publishers who have to pay and not the end consumer.

Scorpio will be the same, you really think companies will waste man hours updating an old game for free when they can be working on a new game that will bring in more money?The fuck?

Ito: It will be different for each title. I believe it will depend on the thinking of each licensee.
The Kotaku translation is correct.
So the Licensee get's to decide if and when they pay the Licensor?
C'mon. Ito said when asked whether patches will cost money or be free
If the interview was about how much publishers pay Sony, then the publisher (licensee) couldn't just decide whether they wanted to pay Sony (licensor) or not.
Please help clean up the OP to reflect this. Having 2 conflicting interpretations on the first post makes things very confusing
N-not to me...

That's what people said about PS4 after Microsoft announced their always online plans. We all know how that turned out.

You're not entitled to a free upgrade and if a developer or publisher decides it wants to charge for it, then they can do it. You don't have to buy it and I doubt many would.
