The first link in the post talks about that

Seriously? Tons of websites are reporting on this and the related issues. The sub-reddit is losing its shit over it. At first I thought this was going to be a bite off of Patrick Klepek’s reporting since he’s been diving into this too. Based on your follow up post about waiting for a monitor to come in so you get the…

Only the most popular games matter and nothing else, got it.

Yeah that’s what I’m wondering about. I doubt Sony would cut off those resellers if they sold online stock in person so that’s probably what happened.

I thought Sony wouldn’t sell the PS5 in stores this holiday season? 

I’m not sure this does what you think. This is more about minors and the legal issues surrounding them and not necessarily about generically toxic behavior. Harassment is just a single bullet point here in the partnership section.

Did we read the same article? Hell, it’s even in the headline, this is focused on the Best Direction award and the article goes into detail about why it’s not deserving of that particular award. That’s not an award for lots of people - it’s an award for the director. 

You got to see a bit of Tevinter and the art direction which is not nothing. I don’t think people really realize how long it takes to make games and get them to a state that you have something that capital G “gamers” would accept. Which is sad, because you’re posting on the site that reports things like this on a…

Kinda funny that this take is at all about game news and not awards. 

None of this is related to the article 

Why?

Without live it’s only $10 on PC and there’s a huge swath of great single player games to play.

“Or even, gasp, a star rating of 1 to 5.”

Nope, people will find a reason to hate anything progressive, so your concern trolling immediately falls aside in practice. There’s far too many people who don’t care at all about improving other people’s lives and will actively mock any attempts at doing so.

This makes sense in your mind when the aim here is to use a different word which means the total number of words we’re using increases? This is increasing people’s vocabulary. 

PS4 also has an “Other” category. Checked the Switch and they don’t offer any specific breakdown. I would bet Xbox One also has this designation.

Windows also obfuscates a bunch of stuff that is going to be pointless for the end user to know a bunch of details of. If you know that it’s used for operating system related functionality and you can’t change anything about then what use are the details?

PCI-E 4.0 NVMe is a relatively new thing and the PS5 will need very specific compatibility testing to ensure it works the same as the included storage. Be patient.

I held off renting or buying Doom Eternal because I knew it was going to be on Game Pass. I did not expect it so soon but given how deeply discounted it is already I am not surprised it happened so fast.

I’m not sure how much of an impact that had on initial sales. This game had lots of marketing issues before anyone really had a firm grasp of the gameplay in the final game. Haven’t played it myself but from what I gathered from reviews the live service aspect is more so after you beat it so I’m not sure how much of…
