Well I’ll be…..
I bought a Switch copy off of Play Asia. They are still selling them.

I agree with you the transaction will ultimately go through; however, stating "the facts don't show any reason why this is bad for consumers" is not the greatest take.
Microsoft can be a loss leader in perpetuity unlike its competition. This allows them to change the dynamics of the gaming market and kill their competition in a noncompetitive manner. Xbox fans may appreciate seeing Sony squirm, but that doesn't mean this is a great deal for the gaming indu...
Never underestimate the power Microsoft lawyers.
If you do the math, Microsoft could create 152 new AAA $500,000,000 games with the amount of money they are spending to purchase both Bethesda and Activision Blizzard. That's what annoys me more than anything. Think of all the successful endeavors they could pursue. But nope, gotta get COD in perpetuity for Gamepass.

I don't know what to think anymore. There have been a lot of really weird "coincidences". As for the videos on this channel they seem well produced, but I think this in particular may just be someone trolling very well.
Still, the countdown ended right when Hasan put up the delay video.
@Dinodash
The code has been cut out of the video now. But if you watch the most recent video there is Morse code at the end that states "Endure/Survive".

May be some crazy person making it all up but they did a damn good job.
@mastaleep The Morse code was at the top of the screen and a letter (in Morse Code) would flash every second or two.
I literally just got a pen and paper and started writing down the dots and dashes. Then I used a Morse code translator on Google. But yes, the Morse code has been cut out of the video at this point it appears. When the timer got down to 8 min 30 seconds dialogue started.
What I remember hearing is
"I warned you"...

This link works
The Morse code starts within the last hour of the video link I posted.
Also I was informed that when the countdown reached zero is when Hasan posted the delay video. I’m still confused on the order of events.
When Hasan posted, a Countdown timer on the youtube channel AbandonedTheGame started. After about 30-45 min it started shooting out Morse Code. It was a conversation between "Blue" and "Red". Now it's a countdown timer:

I keep seeing opinion articles about Gamepass and PSN Now, but have any of these journalists, commentators, or YouTubers truly done a deep dive comparison between the two services?
I would love to see an actual breakdown of genres, aggregate review scores, and the number of titles for each generation provided rather than half-baked/researched opinion articles.
I hope they have a giant sale before the store goes offline. Might as well since clearly not enough people are buying games to keep it up.
More resources for the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Can’t say the decision makes me sad.
I know people are very unhappy (and should be) about how the game runs (It has crashed 5 times for me on PS5); however, I'm really happy they recouped their costs. Despite the bugs, I think it's an amazing game.
Note: Also for those of you who haven't been waiting for the game for 8 years like myself, I'd go ahead and wait 3-6 months. CD Projekt is well known for continuing to support their games well after launch.
Has anyone been able to find the sale in the PS5 store? I’m not seeing it.
Could someone please remind me how patches will be different on next gen regarding hard drive space?
My understanding was if a game is 50 GB and a patch comes out for it, the game file will still be 50ish GB after the patch because the new code simply overwrites the old code now. I swear this was a thing for the new consoles but maybe I'm misremembering.
Yeah, this looks like a really amazing character creator. Lol I always had to make a bald character in the PS3 Demon’s Souls because I couldn’t stand any of the hair options.
I assume the reasoning for this would be to create an incentive for platforms not to stream COD thereby quickly herding Activision players to Gamepass.
