Games are becoming increasingly important on smart TVs. In the battle for a larger market share, Amazon recently announced it wanted to focus more on gaming with its Prime offering, and now another competitor is following suit.
Gaming is an expensive hobby—and it begins with hardware. Once you have that covered, there is the issue of the games themselves, which can quickly cost up to $80 for triple-A titles. Casual gamers in particular feel turned off by such high prices. Even free-to-play titles are not a real alternative at this point. Although the game itself is free, the game’s developer hides so many things behind a paywall that it quickly becomes a pricey adventure if one is not careful.
What has long been a common practice among other manufacturers, Sony is now also allowing it on the PlayStation 4 and 5. With the help of the PlayStation Family app, parents can regain control of the console.
