Absolutely. Opt-in is always better than opt-out, but they arent even giving that.

It seems like just letting people opt out of Collections would address a lot of complaints. It really reeks of the mods trying to flex their muscles in a "you will do as i say" fashion.

I wonder, if at the very high executive level, there has been bleed over in the mindset from those at Sony's movie divisions where they are looking at things like the MCU and trying to mine a cinematic universe for big bucks, to the Playstation divisions where the are really focused and relying on crafting these big…

I had this same thought last night. Its like the one area where you could kind of sell it as a positive, all in the name of making the presentation look more like a live tv broadcast. I would find that both depressingly hilarious and hilariously depressing.

I got a clip, and it sucked. It was not a comfortable experience, and the razer controller is way better.

I got one of the Razer controllers for my phone, and it makes GamePass work super well on wifi. I haven't checked it out on PC yet, but I saw previously that GamePass requires a controller? That is disappointing.

There is a difference between in world, passive advertising (what was in burnout paradise) and active advertising that interrupts the experience. I hope we can find out what these games are, so we can actively avoid them.

Glad to see you back Patricia, and I can't wait to see everything in store for here in the coming months!

Your voice will be missed here Riley. Even in the past year and a half, your daily posts about what was going on really helped pull me and many others through some tough times. I wish you all the luck on what lies in store for you!

Im definitely interested in Doki Doki Literature Club+, but that game was such a roller-coaster I don't think I could go through it again.

The scope is incredibly different. The RIAA was going after everyone, students, children, grandparents, dead people, and suing them for millions of dollars. This was only two people. This will barely make news outside of the gaming press, and of the people who do see it and are fans of Pokemon, virtually all of them…

Hell yeah, this is super cool

You dont need to be a Chinese company to defer to Chinese censorship.

It’s not like they didn’t do the same with Splatoon 1

As much as I understand there is no new content and there is a content imbalance between New Horizons and previous entries, I still check on my island most days. I dont really change anything, but it's still comforting.

Prosus owns a majority stake, not a major one. At least currently.

Just a reminder that for everyone getting up in arms about Tencent, their majority shareholder is a Dutch company called Prosus which owns about 30% currently of Tencent.
