Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "I have been playing video games since I was just two years old and my grandma bought me an NES. From that point on I knew that I was a gamer and wore that title proudly through the 16-bit wars that were waged in school playgrounds, into the transition to disc-based systems and through the waggle-fest that was the mid-00’s. But through all the changes that the industry’s seen over the years my love for games endured and stayed strong…until this generation rolled around. Maybe I’m crazy but it feels like a lot of the fun has been sucked out of gaming lately, replaced by cookie-cutter games that nickel and dime you to no end. So for today’s article I decided to go on about list off the reason why I think modern gaming sucks."
In 2020 the sheer number of game streaming subscriptions makes you wonder where you should focus your energy and money. Are you are looking for a streaming subscription to satisfy your gaming needs? Well, we put together a table overview for you to peruse and possibly see which ones you might prefer, or see why some of these are now redundant services.
Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.
"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.
The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.
Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

A 24-year-old inhabitant of Poland has received nearly 9 thousand charges of illegal distribution of games. His idea was to buy digital versions of the games and then resell access to the account to many people. Losses he caused were valued at nearly $260,000. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them
Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions
I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though
not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.
so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.
This week on the Game Deflators #podcast, John and Ryan discuss the loss of Nintendo Exclusives, Pokemon, and TemTem. Also in the gaming world, we can't forget about the Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft is re-hiring a a marketing exec of the Xbox 360 days and the PlayStation continues to proove why it will be a force to be reckoned with this next console generation.
To round off this episode the duo tilt their Game Boys and play some Pokemon Pinball. This classic game came out in 1999 to relatively good reviews. Does it still hold up for gamers?

This actually started last gen. A good idea that was DLC was quickly taken advantage of by devs and they have been ripping games apart and selling games to us in bits and pieces. When i look at games from the past, i often wonder what bits would have been held back and released to us in stages. Map packs, dungeons, weapons, skills, costumes, cars, guns, treasure chests, special attacks. If our favourite games from multiple genres from the past were released today, how much of these things i have listed would be released to us in bits ? You can guarantee that there would be a lot of it.
If you own a Ps4 you would know modern gaming is amazing
Im enjoying the hell out of gaming. The author might be depressed with life
Yeah right. Just this year we've had Yakuza 0, Ni-Oh, Gravity Rush 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn and very soon Persona 5. Sure sucks.
I like the hardware of the modern systems but I enjoy the games of the previous systems more. That all may change one God of War 4 comes out though.
