Plan B could easily become putting the hardware in a console form factor and sell it for cheaper than a portable device with a screen and battery. Probably wouldn't take very long to do so.

Or maybe it's a playtest and they want to play test the store to make sure it works before launching. Because if they launched the game and the store was broke you'd all be making silly comment about that. "tHeY dIdn'T eVeN TeSt ThE sToRe bEfoRe lAunCh."

What do you mean by "more money"? It's a free-to-play game. No one paid anything to be in the closed beta. All purchases made during the closed beta will be converted back to in-game currency for players to re-use however they wish after launch.

It wasn't very hard to modify so the P2 controller port actually controls P1.

And long before that Sega came up with the Genesis Nomad and nobody cared.

You've also been able to connect a phone/tablet to TVs for years and nobody cares.

COD is already out. No one should be waiting for that anymore.

I haven't paid more than $100 for a flagship phone in years because of trade-in programs. Often times I'm only paying the tax, because the trade-in makes the phone free.

I wish consoles would go more the way of phones. I'd be all for 1-2 year hardware updates with a trade-in program where I could upgrade for $100 or less.

I think you need to read the article again. If you played on Game Pass and bought DLC, then you will get the base game for free.

It's not even the same developers. It's not even the same rights holder. The rights to the IP were sold back in 2016. The previous devs, Eden Games, are now wasting their talent on Gear.Club Unlimited.

"I also think it hurts sales. Because a lot of people just go in and try it and they don’t invest. If they don’t like the first 10 minutes? That’s it,"

But Steam's refund policy allows for the same thing and many people take advantage of that if they don't like a game right away.

There are many facets to the point that could be argued:
1. The difference between Steam and Gamepass is that a person actively seeks out the game to ...

To be fair, they do have the Discovery Tour mode that is intended to be the more historically-accurate portrayal of the game's theme/setting.

Sony a week ago with Helldivers 2: "We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable."

Now with Ghost of Tsushima: "We've thought it over...screw you all."

At this rate, I'll get two or three more Elder Scrolls games released in my lifetime and I'm not even 40. :(

The main difference between iOS store and Playstation store is physical/retail games still exist. So publishers and consumers have another option when it comes to offering/buying games on Playstation.

It is back up. You can get it from the new official source as of earlier today.

This practice should be made illegal. It should be considered false advertisement, where the article is the product and a clickbait title is advertising the product falsely.

Goes from a title like that, to having this be at the very end of the article.

"Of course, we should take all unconfirmed rumours with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise. That being said, it wouldn't be outside the realms of possibility that games such as Star Wars Jedi: ...

Yuzu decrypts the prod keys, which will most likely be a very important distinction in this case compared to those in the past. Previously, anyone just needed to get a decrypted copy of the ROM to run in an emulator. There was no decryption done by the emulator. However, with how prod keys function, Yuzu does the decryption at the time you want to run a rom. This distinction is important because DCMA makes it illegal to circumvent any encryption methods.

This means in the p...

Exactly. Podcast production is much simpler than video production. They don't plan on showing any games or hardware and it seems like this is purely being done because rumors are getting out. Those can easily be addressed and cleared up in an audio format.

@rippermcrip you seem to be implying that it was a lump sum deal. Do you have a source confirming that is was one and wasn't a usage deal?

Same reason a lot of tech hired a lot during covid. People were staying home, consuming a lot of personal media (buying more games, watching more shows, etc.) Companies thought investing the increased revenue in more talent would reap benefits long term. Turns out, that wasn't the case. It just led to the companies being bloated. But in a lot of cases, they were bloated even before the covid hiring sprees. Activision had 13,000 employees this time last year. Nintendo has 7,000. Keep in mi...
