Trying to tell me that a system which reserves stock while the customer is still in the checkout phase isn't possible is a load of BS. I work in e-commerce and I know its possible with very little work, even with 3rd party payment options like Klarna, PayPal or anything else since the script would be run BEFORE the payment redirect (which is the issue you still don't seem to be grasping).

If the customer fails to make payment before the sessions times out, the stock...

You clearly don't understand the issue. People knew they would be credit checked if they bought it. What they didn't know is that they would be credit checked and then told they wont get what they bought (with a credit check).

The stock should have been reserved for the customer for a limited time while they completed payment.

Telling customers that the order isn't confirmed after they've gone through Klarna payment and had a credit check ...

The PS+ collection for PS5 is great but what about PS Now subscribers? I'm not expecting PS5 games but at least some newer PS4 games. All of the good ones like Bloodborne, Killzone, Until Dawn, Tearaway and MGS Phantom Pain are more than 5 years old, and others like Gravity Rush, Metro, Heavy Rain and Wolfenstein are remasters or cross-gen versions of PS3 games.

Buying any studio is a waste of money for a company that has the ability to create a brand new studio in line with their own vision and standards. The acquisition money would be better off spent on recruiting the most talented devs in the industry.

Microsoft could have started 3 studios for the same money it cost them to acquire Bethesda, and Xbox would still have had the games made by Bethesda anyway.

Taking the games off PlayStation (which is safe to assume they will do), will be like taking a cup of water out of the ocean.

If you hate the practice so much and think its a problem, yet you buy it 3 times, maybe you're a part of the problem?

I never finished the game so I'll get it depending on what the other launch titles are.

Depends on the devs.
The usual suspects will keep adding mobile-game style 'gameplay' to the UI instead of improving the actual game.

Its a problem in itself that we've got to the stage where we're comparing real gaming companies to Candy Crush.

Whichever ones makes online gaming free again or lets you re-sell your digital license will crush the other. Anything you would expect the console manufacturers to do simply wont be enough for them to 'crush' the other (assuming the other doesn't shoot themselves in the foot).

Well obviously they paid for the rights. The question is why and his explanation relating to GAME's customer base is spot on. They've become so good at selling accessories and other junk at inflated prices to the casuals that they can afford to pay for the rights and still make a profit.

Obviously a PS4?
PS3 and Vita were great in their day but the sad truth is that they are pretty much dead consoles now and no-ones kids are going to have friends who use them as their main consoles.

Reason no. 5646846 why physical media is better than digital.

If you're annoyed enough to leave a 0/10 review, you're probably also annoyed enough to use another website instead where you can leave 0/10 reviews and not be called suspicious.

Metacritic have shot themselves in the foot with this one I think.

Even if you were right about "PS4 fanboys", your logic is flawed because the general consensus, even among many xbox fans, is that the all digital version hardware which limits the choice of software purchases to one single vendor, isn't "anything positive".

To me its second nature to ignore anything that's all digital.

How many of those copies were £3.99 on sale?

In other words they don't want you to feel a sense of completion even if you sink 1000 hours into the game.
Reverting your progress to make you go through it again, for the sake of a false sense of progression has got to be one of the daftest ideas brought to gaming. At least with the old prestige system there was still a fixed cap. The new method is technically an infinite grind.
I really hope I've misinterpreted this article.

If you asked someone to make a dream team in their head, no-one would pick any of these players.
The reason people go crazy over them in FUT is because its a mode where you will never really have every player you want. Maybe near the end of the year after sinking 2000 hours and £2000 into it.
When everyone wished for a dream team mode back in the days, who would have known we'd be left with this utter shite trainwreck.
