    I have the strangest hunch that if a large MMO or game with lootboxes decided to make every item available via unlocks for free but make them all immediately buyable now, they’d have a nice business model. The player isn’t buying exclusivity or an advantage, they’re buying convenience.

    Warframe heard that











  • A Resistance game following some of the trends put forth by the Doom remakes.

    A Killzone game that brings back some of the platforming mechanics from games like Titanfall 2.

    Crash, Sackboy, Daxter and Clank indie-style metroidvanias and platformers.

    A new Tearaway

    A new Gravity Rush

    A Grand Turismo 4 Remaster, or at least one that isn’t shit.

    Call Capcom up and talk about an exclusive Resident Evil that only works with your exclusive PS5 controller.

    Call Remedy up and get a good original 3rd person shooter.

    Win the game: Steam App on PlayStation, emulation layer capable of playing most indie games and lightweight offerings on Steam. TF2 on a PS5? Why not?

    Like, be awesome again, Sony.



  • I have 2TB of music and 7TB of videos but I rarely pirate a game.

    Almost never, sometimes I’m extremely interested in something but want to try it out first. Games are such time sinks that if I can’t shell out $20, then I have bigger problems and probably shouldn’t be playing it.

    That said, I get a lot of content isn’t available in some countries and piracy is the only way some people can experience something, so, different strokes.


  • Oh, turns out each ad is 15 seconds long per an agreement to standardize playback.

    Oh, turns out you can’t skip the first 30 seconds of a video.

    Oh, turns out if the first 15 seconds doesn’t play, the playback disables entirely.

    Imagine what a Google developer might think of.
