Movies, Art, Anime, Video Games. These are just a few of my favorite things.

PlayStation’s CEOs since Jim Ryan, and all the way to Nishino and Hermen Hulst have ruined the image of an iconic brand and made the worst decisions possible, and now they’re trying to penalize players for their failure🚀

✅They’re distant attitude towards fans have been going for years, when they stopped doing any live events or major appearances at E3 and the likes, which took away so much from the sense of communication with fans

✅Maintaining a cold and purely corporate approach towards fans

✅Forced studios into a failed live-service chase, leading to cancelled projects, erratic studio closures, and massive resource waste.

✅Acquiring and shutting down many studios in the last few years before they had the chance to produce anything

✅Overspent on acquisitions and projects, notably a $3.7 billion investment in Bungie and an estimated $400 million loss on Concord.

✅Barely any innovation with games, as they rely on 4 main brands for new entries, and remakes and remasters of them

✅Increased prices for PS Plus and hardware while the output has been abysmal

✅Now they’re trying to force a digital-only future where much of this corruption and incompetence will be amplified

✅They are using manipulated data to engineer this narrative that physical games are a niche market, by calculating DLC, MTX, digital only and free-to-play as “digital purchases”. Whole global physical sales for games tell a whole different story

✅64% of the world has no dedicated PS Store, meaning 64% of the world will not be able to legally acquire video games per Sony’s terms

✅Games that consist of a code in a box are region locked too

✅Ditching physical media means no competition, no options, pricing hikes and reliance on the mercy of a storefront and its functioning networks, and their support team in case issues occur

These CEOs need to go. Sony needs a team that is passionate about video games rather than vultures or feed off the blood of gamers to appease their shareholders alone.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

I think this is actually the darkest Video Game Industry headline I've ever read.

imagine your entire life revolved around going to college to the point where you burnout and develop a crippling fear of failure/learned helplessness, you make it to college and graduate, and you can't find a job and it's your fault because you didn't do enough internships

Thank god i live in a world where I just get to enjoy games rather than creating mindless comparisons like i’m being forced to choose

Horizon Hunters Gathering has been rebooted, per Jason Schreier.

After negative player feedback from recent sessions, they are now planning to remove the live service component and make a more traditional co-op game. But it could also still be canned.

What a waste of time.

[Nick B.R. @TheBlightDoctor]

@K1ngAllant @hyxkkimxru She is now. 🤷‍♂️

@HeroicBlaze_ Bout 2 weeks ago. Really good price off Amazon.

Thousands of players have acquired the Cracked version of Marvel Tōkon and are hosting Discord Parsec Lobbies.

Reports claim that this method runs BETTER than the official version on PC.

Could this be the death of Online Matchmaking for Marvel Tōkon 🤔

It’s incredible how much of a disaster the live-service initiative has been for PlayStation

Nenhuma outra atriz vai conseguir entregar uma final girl tão icônica igual a Hayden entregou com a Sam em until Dawn

[three @3ofwoee]

so you mean to tell me, the cracked version is so well optimized that a 1650 can run like butter, but on store front it can’t run smooth on the 40 series?

if you don’t think sony is intentionally sabotaging this game on pc so u can play on console ur sheep

[Nick B.R. @TheBlightDoctor]

@K1ngAllant @hyxkkimxru I feel like you're vastly misunderstanding the point I'm trying to make. When did I say I didn't care about the Ghost IP or its characters? Jin is one of my GOATs.

This really sucks, why would you put the entire studio on this online project. We could’ve had H3 next year at this point

This guy isn't just a body double btw. He went to julliard. His mannerisms are that good because he's a talented actor and it's crazy Disney didn't just hire him outright.

[Sho @Shoyoumomo_]

Sony blocked Tokon from 132 countries, destroyed the PC version with its anti cheat system and missed out on millions just for the game to get modded 3 hours after launch and cracked 2 weeks later.
Genuinely, what was the point

[Nick B.R. @TheBlightDoctor]

@K1ngAllant @hyxkkimxru My only real issue with W4 is Ciri undergoing the trial of grasses. In 3, she became an honorary "Witcheress" by hunting monsters using what she learned, and using her Elder Blood powers to make up for her lack of mutation abilities. But I trust CDPR to give us a good reason.

[Nick B.R. @TheBlightDoctor]

@K1ngAllant @hyxkkimxru 4. Tlou was about Joel AND Ellie. She is the linchpin of the story. Literally nobody had an issue with her taking the reigns as main protagonist before the political climate became what it is today. (Same thing with Ciri)
5. What's wrong with Zelda getting her own game for once?

[Nick B.R. @TheBlightDoctor]

@K1ngAllant @hyxkkimxru I do care about the Ghost IP and the characters. But whether Atsu was m or f didn't matter to me, because they had already decided not to continue Jin's story. You say the change adds nothing of value. But it doesn't take away any value either.
