Too Much Is Never Enough

[JA21 @JuisteAntwoord]

Als Marokko wint zijn er rellen, als Marokko verliest zijn er ook rellen. JA21 is klaar met de slappe aanpak van waarschuwingen en wil dat de minister harder ingrijpt.

De daders moeten hard gestraft worden en de schade zelf betalen.

🇫🇷🇲🇦‼️🚨 France vs Morocco match is coming up soon.

I can easily predict how Paris will look depending on who wins.

You’ll see … 🤣

Dat er nog mensen zijn die het Marokkanen probleem ontkennen, bizar. Dat tuig hoort niet in Europa thuis.

Sad to see this happening across the entire gaming industry. I guess it was going to happen at some point, but I didn't think it would be this soon.

I'm not a collector and I only buy digital so it doesn't impact me. What I personally don't like is the Christmas mornings and Birthday parties for young kids. Having to open a game only to have to spend potentially hours downloading it (realize a lot of people have faster bandwidth but still...) - it's a real bummer. I get games have patches (some large, some not so large) and consoles require massive updates at times, etc. But the fundamental magic I felt of opening my NES (and many other systems and games as time went on) during Christmas morning and immediately playing games was partially what made me fall in love with the industry (and be lucky enough to work in it across platform and games).

My, likely unwanted, feedback to platform holders:
1) You need to establish a digital promise for consumers. We can't live in a world of fear if our games will work in the future or not. You owe everyone a clear vision for our "digital locker" that gives us confidence our games are actually our games. You don't get to just turn the games off (I get MP games are different from SP games, etc.).

2) You need to innovate game sharing. Lending my game to my friend should be as easy as handing him/her a disc. It's possible to do, I've lived it and looked into it before. As players, we should be able to share our games. You can have restrictions on it but fundamentally this should "just work" 75%+ of the time. A "friends and family" of 3, 6, 9, or whatever number is a solution others have in place. Mirror it and make it industry standard.

3) You haven't innovated with your console Store in ages. You need to. Enable people to have an open marketplace where I can sell my used game back to the community for Store credit or cash. You are the platform holder, you can take a fee. Again, this is not hard but you have to put your legacy behind you and innovate to provide consumer friendly features for our "digital lockers" across all platforms. Game developers will not like this - but being consumer friendly has to go both ways here. A used game marketplace is a must have in my view.

4) Let us showcase our libraries. As gamers we love achievements, friends, profiles, and game libraries. Some of us want to show off what we own and how much we play. Make the "digital locker" a feature I can share and be proud of.

5) Communicate. Show us you have a plan for this transition and that you care about gamers. We will embrace the transition if you give us the confidence, trust, and freedom to enjoy the hobby we love.

All of this is possible. Make your platform the best place to play.

Current price of Ragnarok on PSN versus physical at Walmart.

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

The PlayStation I loved is long gone man

- $1000 dollar consoles coming
- Subscription prices will rise
- Games will go up in price
- Less games made than ever (first party)
- Still a big focus on GAAS

The future of gaming has never looked so dark 💀

[Dustin Furman @DustinCanFly]

Yeah this totally sucks. They will eventually try to blame this decision on the handheld, but the reality is, they want you spending more money on games, with less consumer choice.

Don't take my word for it! Look at the prices of physical vs digital on PSN for older titles.

End of an era.

UPDATE - Dader is 45-jarige Duitser van Turkse komaf die in conflict over de voogdij was over zijn dochter die in de instelling verbleef met haar moeder, volgens bronnen is hij lid van de beruchte Miri-clan, maar de politie heeft dat niet bevestigd https://t.co/mUd3WYkW4T

It’s apparently worse to have AC in Europe than it is to groom and traffic children.

Wow.
