People on social media are largely immature a-holes, especially on X. And it’s annoying sites like this are giving them any clout when they shouldn’t even be given the time of day.
I'm sure the bigwigs will still get their raises and bonuses. I know, it's like this everywhere in gaming, but MS just seems to love shooting itself in the foot...or whatever's left of it.
@DennisReynolds This is supposed to be a PS oriented news site, but seems like all they want to do is engage in yellow journalism and fuel the anti-Sony vitriol for clicks.
Not passing judgment until we see what it may entail. Baseless speculation does zero good. And there have been multiple false alarms about advertising over the years.
@Oram77 She’s the CEO of Xbox, yet she talks like she’s a teenybopper. It’s pretty embarrassing for the company if you ask me, the fact that she takes their advice as gospel aside
Nice, only took them almost 9 years. And today was the first time I found out that Steam also has something for getting all the achievements in a game.
In other news, the sky is blue. Seriously, all these people screaming on social media think their words carry more weight than they think they do. There was almost no way Sony would change course
Two different divisions. I’m sorry, but some of this rage is pathetic. First attacking third party and indies and now something totally unrelated? They are just looking for a reason to stay angry and produce more ragebait.
This is what happens when only a handful of companies, keep the Internet up and running. I say every time they should fix it, but I know that won’t happen.
@Ken_Kaniff Well, even with the price and digital considerations aside, I wasn’t planning on getting one anyways, not for a long time at least. I have so many other things to play.
Wow, you people joking about them messing with the disc drive are hilarious. Almost as much as the people who are flooding any third party that has anything remotely to do with Sony. Seriously, grow up.
On topic, going to wait to install this since some had issues with the update last time.
@Ken_Kaniff The price may be a bigger turn off than that.
@Oram77 Well, the digital deluxe is fourth best selling preorder in the US after GTA VI, Halo, and the next Call of Duty, so you might be disappointed there
@Rich33 Fair point. And as I’ve said before, easier to scream about something on social media than actually do it. I’d love to see how many preordered GTA VI for example.
@ShadowRJ I figure other companies do something similar in other circumstances, but since Sony’s under lots of scrutiny now, likely will just increase it.

Hope so! That would be great!

Re: Ghost of Yotei's PS5 Complete Edition Will Get a Physical Disc, But There Are Already Concerns
I’m guessing the DLC may be a code.
Re: Promising PS5 Sim Rideshare Rocked by Crazy AI Controversy, as CEO Crashes Out in Public
If you believe what this misogynist pri** says, I have an igloo in Death Valley to sell you.

Re: State of Play for Phantom Blade Zero Announced for Next Week, 11-Minute Trailer Revealed
Even in the best of times, the chat hurts my brain. I’ll be muting it while I watch. Looking forward to seeing this.
Re: Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition Announced, Includes New Expansion, Game Mode, More
This is a welcome surprise. I honestly thought they wouldn’t give us any more after Legends. Already preordered the upgrade pack.
Re: PS3 Lord of the Rings Action RPG War in the North Suddenly Returns, Remaster Out Now on PS5
Wow, this certainly wasn’t on my bingo card for August
Re: Video: 2027 Is Already a Stacked Year for PS5
I imagine some stuff will be moved around
Re: 'Discs Don't Really Make Sense': GTA 6 Boss Says 'Sony Understands That' as It Kills Physical Games
I'm sure most game publishers are fine with this. They just aren't coming out and saying it to keep people from biting their heads off.
Re: Halo Made Its PS5 Debut, So Now It's Time for Xbox to Lay Off the Team That Made It
I'm sure the bigwigs will still get their raises and bonuses. I know, it's like this everywhere in gaming, but MS just seems to love shooting itself in the foot...or whatever's left of it.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero's State of Play Seemingly Cancelled as Dev Teases Its Own PS5 Gameplay Showing
@AdamNovice Welcome to the Internet.
@ElPenitente I imagine a not very small number are also bots, but yea, there's a lot of a-holes online.

Re: GTA 6 PS5 Gameplay Coming This Month, Here's When to See It First on Netflix
I might out of curiosity. Wonder how much Netflix paid to get it first.
Re: Disc-Based PS5s Now Warn Buyers About the Impending Death of Physical Games
At least they’re giving people warning.

Re: 'We're Entering This Next Chapter from a Position of Strength': EA Completes $55 Billion Buyout
Yeah, not buying EA games new again. They sold their souls for blood money.
Re: 'Evie Was Created by Our Talented Artists': Stellar Blade Dev Responds to 'AI Slop' Accusations
People who are pro-AI are so out of touch about it. No surprise he doesn’t get it.
Re: These New Xbox Prices Are Truly Terrifying for PS6
I don’t feel bad for MS at all since they’re largely responsible by pouring tons of money into AI. As for PS6, in no rush anyway.
Re: Could Xbox Get Its Revenge on PS6 by Supporting Physical Games?
I’ll believe it when I see it. Xbox has been pushing all digital way before PS did
Re: PS5's Monthly Active Users Increased Again, PS Plus Making More Money Than Ever
Definitely killing the anti-digital narrative.

Re: EA's Controversial $55 Billion Buyout to Close Next Week
So looking like Plants vs. Zombies Replanted will be my last EA game...and we'll get to see how much worse EA can really get.
Re: Will Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Get a Physical PS5 Edition? Director Can't Confirm Anything Yet
That doesn't make much sense since it'll be pre-2028, but whatever helps them sleep at night, I guess.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
One of the trophies is "Prostitute"...I wish I was joking
Re: This Revelation Should Terrify All Console Fans, Particularly Those Looking Forward to PS6
Not going next gen for a long time, if at all, so not worried about it.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
That’s a lot of bronze
Re: Dragon Age Can't Get the Mass Effect Remaster Treatment Because of Dev Difficulties
I would love a remaster of the first three. Maybe one day. I can dream.
Re: Final Fantasy 6 Remake Would Have to Be '4 or 5' Games, Suggests Series Producer
Just give it the HD-2D treatment. Doesn’t have to be a drastic remake.
Re: Fable PS5 Has Run 'Uncomfortably Beyond Budget', Sources Claim
Well, that doesn’t sound promising…the over budget part isn’t a shock, but I mean going up against Laufey.
Re: 'The Way It Was Meant to Be Heard': Tone-Deaf Sony Pushes Vinyl Turntable After Killing Physical Games
Two different divisions. I’m sorry, but some of this rage is pathetic. First attacking third party and indies and now something totally unrelated? They are just looking for a reason to stay angry and produce more ragebait.
Re: Sorry, Dragon Age Fans, Don't Expect Another One Anytime Soon
Hardly matters. When Mass Effect fails, EA will shut it down
Re: Angry PlayStation Fans Propose PS5 Blackout in Protest of Sony's Disc Decision
Boycotts rarely work, but to each their own. I won’t be participating.
Re: 'We Sincerely Apologise': Marvel Tokon the Latest Sony Game to Be Busted on PC
No issues on the PS5 beta...except I keep getting slaughtered because I suck. XD
Re: PS5's Next Big Exclusive Dated, and It's Closer Than You Think
I wasn't expecting it this early.
Re: 'See You in the Sequel': Halo 2 Remake All But Confirmed
@RoliePolie91 Well, Microsoft changes are minds more than most change socks.
Re: 'See You in the Sequel': Halo 2 Remake All But Confirmed
All well and good, but will PlayStation get it?
Re: PSN Down for 4+ Hours, Sony 'Working to Resolve Issues'
Everything seems fine on my end. Hopefully the case for everyone soon!
Re: 'It Will Not Disturb the Industry Much': Major Publisher Doesn't Believe PS5's Disc Debacle Will Change Anything
Ubi’s physical games require downloads, so not surprised he’s unfazed.
Re: PSN Down and Sputtering After Amazon Web Services Outage
This is what happens when only a handful of companies, keep the Internet up and running. I say every time they should fix it, but I know that won’t happen.
Re: Physical Game Fans Won't Like This New Data About US PS5 Sales
Nothing will satisfy the social media mob. Even if Sony did a full 180, they’ll still find something to gripe about.
Re: There's No Doubt About It, Wolverine PS5 Looks Awesome
Looks so badass

@Ken_Kaniff Well, even with the price and digital considerations aside, I wasn’t planning on getting one anyways, not for a long time at least. I have so many other things to play.
