“Copies sold” is a much better measure

It bugs me when GW2 also does this with “over 12 million players” when actually it’s registered accounts.

I know people who have and use multiple POF accounts obtained freely, including a guy who literally has 83 accounts and uses them all every reset.

I’m not disputing that Palworld isn’t popular, but I hate when companies advertise with “40M players”

40M purchases is fine, which is very impressive for a paid game. If I buy a game, never play it or play it once, then I’m not ‘playing’ that game.

Thank you, I was mixing it up with the Vita

Can you still mass unlock trophies with these? I remember somebody telling me that your psn level has some benefits and a cap based on games platinumed?

No surprise. Technology has grown, as have office and desk based work.

I had an idea for a book some years ago. There’s an airborne virus that makes every human on the planet infertile.

The only way humans can reproduce is via cloning. Clones which are not only genetically modified for the best traits, but also improved. Each country gets an allocated amount.

There’s a catch - the clones are programmed to abide by rules (don’t be a dick, don’t harm others, be considerate of the environment and make every effort to improve it). If they stray too far, they shit out all of their organs and die.

Now I’m imagining ‘Moon Melons, Moon Mangos and Moon Mangetout”

There’s so much hate, but Sony are basically the last ones to do this. It sucks, but it’s the way the industry has been going for years

I’m not one of those people who pretends they will play a physical disc game for the rest of their life

I do however like physical for two reasons. Firstly, the price, how tf can you justify charging more when you are cutting out all of the middlemen and listing on your own online store. Secondly, resale. I can buy a game, play it and resell.

If the tradeoff on going digital was that games were 50% cheaper, then I’d be happy. I wouldn’t have to hoard games and I’d have the convenience of digital.

This

Whilst I don’t agree with it, it’s hardly something new.

There is no world where Nintendo had you covered

Their hardware and systems, particularly any online connectivity is 20hrs behind. They’ve also be the shittiest of them all with price hikes

They share the same bed

It’s obvious in the title that’s it’s not referring to this.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of POC referring to person of colour, but I guess people will latch on to anything these days

Avowed

It’s incredible

I’ll wait a year and get it on physical

Hopefully they sell WoW, Diablo, Halo and any of the few good IPs they own (directly or indirectly) off

PS5 physical and sell if you are on the fence or only play on playing them once

GoG if there’s an option

Steam otherwise?

After reading this, I’m honestly considering cancelling my preorder.

Requiring an Xbox account for a game launching on PS is ridiculous

With Discord losing some popularity recently, I think the best thing they could do is create some sort of hybrid platform with connected apps (ie your profile also having a snapshot of Steam, PSN, Bnet, Microsoft etc)

Maybe even partner with more niche games/companies
