P.T. is the first one that comes to mind, but the same would go for literally any game that’s been pulled from availability and not released again anywhere else. I can’t think of any other specific ones right now, but I have no doubt whatsoever that there could be at least hundreds if not more.

Agreed. It’s definitely a problem now already. Going all-digital will mostly make an already-existing problem significantly worse.

“pirates and emulation enthusiasts are kinda going to solve some of these issues for us, eventually”

Sure, you might be able to keep the games you’ve already purchased (though that’s not guaranteed - look up what’s happening with Microsoft’s ebook store), but the games you *haven’t* purchased may become unavailable for you to ever get. If you find 0ut about something too late and it’s already gone, you’re completely…

Then you don’t understand the problem at all. Sure, you can still play old NES games now. You either need the physical cartridge (which you could buy used if necessary) or it has to be one of the relatively few curated games which the company who made them has decided to make available (or from a more questionably…

I’ll admit that I can’t watch it yet, either, but given the snippet they provided, at least one of the concerns is longevity/preservation. If a game requires a server connection or can only be purchased digitally, then once that server is shut down or the game is pulled from sale, it’s just gone, permanently, and…

“The handful of physical current-gen games I do own”

Movies can be watched on lots of different platforms. There are reasons to have both a physical copy and a digital copy. Video games can only be played on the console they’re made for. Offering physical and digital copies together would have almost no advantage.

Some kind of wires-crossed bit about the games being worked on by a bunch of different Ubisoft studios? (Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Sofia, etc.)

I still don’t understand why they haven’t made this a part of VRV yet considering AT&T owns both of them.

The only customers who would care would obviously not buy these games in the first place regardless of how censored they are. I would be absolutely shocked if this was a major factor in regard to anybody intentionally choosing Sony over other companies. The only standards that make sense here are the ESRB ratings, and…

What kind of oversight are you expecting it to have? Government oversight would be a blatant violation of the First Amendment. And it’s not their fault if consumers ignore it.

No, you’re right. The idea of her being a human girl was debunked. By Kotaku itself, in fact. They got a statement from someone from Sanrio about it.

So is it live-action or animated?

Yeah, but it’s just random ads and stuff. And occasionally movie trivia questions.

Usually at least a couple times a month. I saw Captain Marvel last week.

Huh. I’ve never seen this anywhere. I had never even heard of it.

Have they banned any other games for being too “addictive”? What makes this one the one to ban specifically?

Yeah, if I somehow saw the message, I’d be a bit confused, then I’d look it up and have a laugh about it. Heck, it might improve my opinion of the company.
