Does anyone know how Gamepass is handled when it comes to sales. I'm guessing the publisher gets money based on how many players engage with the game but those wouldn't be counted as "sold" unless they actually buy them. Is Gamepass a way for a published to go around those royalties and pocket the money they get from the Gamepass deal themselves?

If anyone has any sources as far as this goes, I would appreciate it.

There is a really easy solution to this just come out and say what the game actually is and make it clear to everyone that Kojima and Konami are not involved in any way.
Then all the attention you're enjoying would go away so I can see why you wouldn't want to do that but don't complain about it. If you want to ride down this road, don't complain when it gets bumpy.

They won't know that until the game is out and people have played it. Your logic in this situation is flawed.

Gamers don't need to know every detail of the game before it even comes out, there are people that invest themselves in the game before it's even out and those are in a very small minority compared to the bigger picture.

Perhaps if some people could stop arguing which is better, they will find out that they are allowed to enjoy both.

There is nothing that states game can't be popular and loved by million AND someone's personal opinion of the game to be overrated.

I would say that the two statements there are not exclusive, you can have both.

I do understand where you are coming from but what you are doing is dismissing his opinion as being wrong.
Just have to remember that overrated and underrated are personal opinion and not a factual statement.

Do we even know what type of game this is yet? I sure hope this all pays off in the end.

I wasn't aware of this game, art style seems really well done. I'll have to check it out.

If you read what I wrote, you would realize it has nothing to do with the content of the article.

If anything, you are exactly the type of person that I talk about in my post. Insecure.

Hades is a great game on it's own, I really don't get why these recent articles have to state a particular console in the title of the article. This one is actually worse than the one that had Xbox Series X in the title the other day because everyone knows Returnal is on PS5.

It's great that they mention other consoles in the article but it just seems underhanded because it continues to fuel the console wars for those that get upset over every little thing that...

Typhoon Studio developed Journey to the Savage Planet.

You mean just like Bathesda was bought by Microsoft and has Playstation timed exclusives coming out?

These deals are made ahead of the time. People that make these deals probably don't even know the company is changing hands. They don't enter negotiations and just stop doing business with everyone just because of a possibility that they might work for a competing brand.

Talk about being short sighted.

I don't think many will argue that the game looks charming, I just hope the gameplay can hold it's own.

What's a "proper" review? One that matches your own opinions?

The game has had mixed reviews from the start, just take it with a grain of salt. If you can, it's always the best to try the game out and form your opinions but tearing down other people's opinions is a dangerous road to go down.

I guess they really pulled off! The real-time experience of abandoning their customers, well done! Genius move.

I don't see why any mechanics would change solely based on the gender and if they do, then perhaps they shouldn't change the gender in the first place because it will feel like pandering.

I feel like this hurts the players that were involved in the Overwatch League more than it affects Activision. Not saying they shouldn't do anything about it but the players are the ones that have put countless hours playing the game.

It's not like this money was pocketed by Activision so it just seems like a weird angle to approach this issue with. Like other comments have mentioned, it just seem like a marketing stunt to get people talking about them.

I've been a bit hesitant to buy the headset because I hear that it's not very comfortable for long periods of time because the ear cups are smaller than ideal.

What's everyone's experience been with the headset?

You for real?

First of all, nobody turned off the replies. There is max of 3 replies that can be had, if you want to add to that chain it has to be on the last comment in the chain.

Second of all, you might want to check your attitude at the door, come in here telling everyone is wrong and you are the one sole sane voice in the room just makes you sound like a delusional fanboy.

Why not play on a PC in that case? Sounds like you just picked Xbox as your console of choice rather than following what Digital Foundry says.

I'm looking for honest replies here, leave your bias at the door.

I frequently still jump into PS3 games that I missed so when it comes to this stuff, as long as the game runs in a smooth frame rate I am a happy camper.

So each time these articles pop up, I see people argue left and right about 10 FPS at times or like 5 seconds of loading time and it just seems petty to me.

Alright, questions now. I'd like to know if this actua...
