Microsoft paid 8B to buy Zenimax then fired well over 1000 people from Zenimax between the time they closed the deal and they announced these shut downs.

People talk about the 1900 they fired most recently, but that was only one wave of three sets of layoffs from their gaming division so far this generation totalling around 5000 people this generation. Not counting the dozen plus studios they canned last gen including Lionhead the original Fable developers.

Buyers remorse...

Marvel does not own the games rights... They own the character, Sony paid to license the character and pays royalties per copy sold. And of course Disney owns Marvel.

There are Horizon Zero Dawn physical Lego sets, Lego owns those sets, not Sony. Presumably, Lego pays royalties to Sony on each set sold.

That is how licensing works...

Hopefully it's not how to make 30FPS games...

This game is going to be the best kind of nostalgia, the fun kind!

That picture you showed is the dynamic background for the game, not an add, every game has it's own background created by the developers themselves.

And the other people are talking about the explore page but using the wrong terminology.

The explore page has two ads, but they are not full screen and not intrusive, you never have to click them to get to your games like this full screen ad on xbox. Heck you don't even have to go to the explore tab i...

That doesn't sound right.

It's like Spider-Man, Marvel does not own the Spider-Man games Sony does, they licensed the Spider-Man character to Sony. Same as the movies.

Sony is publishing the LEGO game which is made by a developer that is a third party to both Sony and PlayStation (with the help of Guerilla of course). Lego owns the brand and controls the Lego branding of the game (so the blocks can't look like Duplo blocks), PlayStation owns ...

PlayStation doesn't have full screen ads ever. The only ads are in the store and on the explore page.

I feel like this isn't even as bad as the way they are trying to force paid mods by doing pointless updates that break all the mods on Nexus.

Nexus and those modders have been such a huge part of why their games have stayed relevant for so long.

"Is that really what you guys think?"

Well... I'm glad that after 7 years you finally get it....

"Nope, that is the goalpost move from a certain fan base."

No, it's literally what we have been saying since day one.

"Sony is obviously hanging on to the standard model of game sales, even bigger, Nintendo is, and they sell phenomenally."

I disagree that Sony is &qu...

That's great, I hope you have fun!

Ya know, PlayStation has a feature where you can use two controllers as if they were one. While I get that it's not co-op but it makes it so you don't have to swap the controller.

Maybe that would be neat for the two of you to mess around with.

xbox fans always say this, in fact I'm pretty sure you said this just a month of so ago...

It's not the subscriptions directly that people are talking about. It's putting the games on the service day one and shifting the industry away from the direct sale model and trying to fund game development on a subscription profit.

Yes, and the game looks great and it performs great too especially for a big open world game.

Of course, It doesn't have ultra detailed rocks like Hellblade but it's also not sub 1080p, 30fps or 6 hours of set pieces...

This game is criminally underrated.

And the reviewers did this game so dirty.

Personally, I think he's most honest when he wears a logo t-shirt under his business suit jacket.
