You think they would have made that decision the day after it released?

Precisely the outcome I and countless other people expected.

That is insane. I would love to see the sales figures for that, because I bet they will be hysterically bad.

Many people have mentioned the diabolical memory card pricing for the Vita, but one of the less appreciated reasons for its downfall was that Sony lost Monster Hunter to Nintendo. That was a serious system-seller franchise in Japan, and when Portable 3rd went to the 3DS instead of the Vita it was a massive blow to the…

Why is it “stupid” not to know the history of a nursery rhyme, though? The n-word got stripped out of it and replaced because it became socially unacceptable to have racist slurs in nursery rhymes. And the rhyme hung around, and millions of children encountered it shorn of any racist context, just as a cute rhyme that…

Oh, yeah, also:

Do you not know what the word “blackmail” means or something? Here’s a hint: blackmail is where you threaten to reveal a secret someone else has in order to compel them to do what you want.

This is kind of misrepresenting what’s going on here, actually. This isn’t a case of the royal family using Evil Secret Royal Powers to censor the news, this is a case of news broadcasters agreeing to certain conditions to be granted access to record and televise the funeral, one of which conditions was allowing the…

I’m so sorry you’re so lacking in imagination. It must make life very difficult for you sometimes! Here, let me elucidate it for you.

And I really don’t have any interest in any of it.

What you say is true, but.

Yeah, I also read that as “meaningfully different switch hardware coming” not “another cosmetic variation coming.”

@Everyone in these comments saying some variation of:

Better still, don’t use the built-in web browser, because that is Chrome and doesn’t support decent ad-blocking.

Ah yes. The company should not have profits. That make sense. They’ll definitely make a ps6 with their “not profits.”

Yes, one adjustment they could make is adjusting to the idea that they can’t have profits which grow endlessly year on year...

I do wonder if this will actually improve their profits, honestly. Britain, at least, is in the middle of a ghastly cost-of-living crisis, and I think that for many people, dropping £450 on a new console was already a hard sell. Putting your prices up just as everyone’s real income is going down seems dubious to me,…

I do wonder if, technical issues aside, there is also a general weariness developing towards the generic open-world formula. I think it’s getting increasingly stale, and I suspect that may be beginning to show in reviews...

Annnnd how are they meant to have a review ready for release day if the devs don’t give them a code? Do you expect them to buy a copy and then complete it and review it within 24 hours?

Because obviously the police would never shoot an innocent person, and everyone knows this, so sending the police after someone who isn’t doing anything wrong couldn’t possibly result in them getting killed, and thus couldn’t possibly be attempted murder.
