Did anyone actually think there would be hard feelings? At the end of the day the video game industry is a business and Kojima has been in it for 40+ years - he would be aware that some decisions aren’t going to go his way.
Majority of people online think it works like high school where people have tantrums and don’t talk to each other if things don’t go there way
To be honest, I didn’t even think Micro-transactions were a thing anymore. I can’t think of any game I’ve played in the past few years that have had them. I guess I only play single player games though and tend to stick to AA games
@Psofo not really a win for me I guess, just tired of coming to this site every day looking for gaming news and every second article is Push Square Journalists writing articles specifically to rile people up.
We all know this will be forgotten in a few weeks time, remember the fake outrage when Bluepoint closed? Or the console price increase? Or the "Crunch" that employees had to do to complete a game on time? Or AI Generated images used in pre-production? or Ghosts of Yotei choosing to have a female character?
The Business Analysts at a multibillion company who have decades of experience working in the gaming industry and their literal jobs is to analysis the markets and maximize profit for Sony
Or NoDiscnobuy07 user on random social media site who claims he won’t be buying the console which will show Sony the error in their ways
The top post on the PlayStation Reddit is some 17 year old dweeb who thinks he “screwed” Sony because he cancelled his PS+ account by adding an expired credit card so it wouldn’t renew automatically. Everyone is praising his antics.
These are the type of people who are having tantrums, it’s why Sony couldn’t care less.
@For-Kier exactly, we use it at work quite a lot and all my friends use it too and have no complaints. I wouldn't even know people were anti-AI if I didn't visit this site or Reddit
Let’s be honest, video game creators couldn’t care less about the vocal minority who complain about some hypothetical situation that may occur in 10 years time and I don’t really blame them
Outside of that one Arena Challenge where you had to fight through like 5-6 bosses in a row, I actually had a lot of fun obtaining the Platinum. I think it's my favorite Platinum trophy I have
@Boxmonkey its just Fake Drama from people online who
A) love to have a whinge
B) Had no intention of buying/playing the game but like to feel important by making comments like "Well they just lost a sale!"
Same people who get upset about unspecified workers having to work overtime and physical release antics.
I don't know anyone in real life who actually gets upset about these 'issues' or even knows about them
@ShadowRJ how old do you think parents are these days? Parents in their 30s and 40s grew up gaming in the 90s and early 2000s - they definitely know all about video games.
It might be a small number but my friends have kids ranging from 4-18 and none of them let their kids play GTA

Re: Phantom Blade Zero Is the Next Truly Essential PS5 Game
Nobody gives a ***** if you are having a tantrum because there’s no physical release, you don’t need to whine on every article

Re: 10 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2026 Announced

This is getting embarrassing now.

Still living off the praises off Skyrim which came out 15 years ago now - there’s probably teenagers reading this article who weren’t even born then.
I didn’t mind Fallout 4 but it’s not like it did anything special compared to 3 and New Vegas
