Hideo Kojima may be trying to say that Death Stranding is the first strand game, but that might not actually be true. There are other games with those same strand-like elements.
"Today we are happy to announce that ConcernedApe has made a very generous initial donation of $125,000 and an ongoing monthly commitment to the project," MonoGame says in a statement on Twitter. "This extraordinary show of support, alongside ongoing contributions from other studios and individuals, helps ensure MonoGame continues to be the open-source C# framework that game developers of all sizes can rely on."
Stardew Valley is now available on Switch 2 as a free upgrade for existing Switch owners, with a standalone price of 14.99 dollars at launch.
Still doesn’t appear to exist at all on the UK store even when accessing directly from Switch 2.
Just bought it, in order to see whether you can upgrade in-game but nothing at all.
PlayStation Store has removed cross-buy ownership for the PS Plus Essential version of farm life sim Stardew Valley.
Not really sure. Apparently it is still download-able on the vita so im not sure what this actually means. Its only applicable to PS+ Essential version of it too so I bought it and i dont know if this applies to me at all.
I just checked and the version i own says im still entitled to both versions so I guess its just the PS+ version that is PS4 only now. If you bought it you still get both versions.
"However, Sony now seems to be revoking that digital ownership and reclassifying the game as subscription-only access. In other words, the license is now tied strictly to an active PS Plus membership rather than being treated as a permanent digital purchase."
So it now works exactly as it is supposed to work. All monthly games redeemed from PS Plus Essential are subscription-only access.

I've not been able to download it on my vita for over a year now, perfectly fine on my PS4 and PS5
Well yeah - lets be honest here, it's the soulsbourne series that has popularised this idea of indirect-multiplayer games; where you can leave messages and signpost for other players - or what Kojima wants to call "Strand Games". I really liked the way it was implemented in Nioh as well, where you can ressurect and fight the spirits of fallen players.
However I haven't played Death Stranding, and I know that there are other elements to it, such a building structures and sharing loot etc.
Oh, another Nintendo-made-it-first-and-you -cant-say-otherwise article.
It is an interesting idea to have a shared world that people can build on and help or hinder each other. Some kind of (small) planet sized civilisation building 'strand' game could be fascinating to see how it ended up.
Going in, I knew the article was gonna be a massive reach, but good God... really?
I love the way Kojima Productions has implemented it though. Like all the players collecting materials and pilling them together to make roads and bridges or how you can put out charging stations for others or Time Fall shelters. You can even hear a faint reply from another player sometimes when you say something. I love the parallel dimensions Theory! That were all in different realities in the same physical space.
