Looks like Sony's plans to further monetise its current customers are now in full motion.
I'm really not looking forward to se how far they will take it.
Well it's not about everyone having to play everything. It was an observation on my part that I was expecting someone heavily involved with games would have played a DA game. Don't know why, but I did.
specially since the entire dragon age franchise is ass
And that's the great thing about opinions. They are subjective and not all deserving of the same respect. Peace.
It's quite the admission for someone in your profession to have not played a single Dragon Age game. And I'm not thinking about DA2 when the superlative DA Origins exists.
When year after year, after year your biggest money makers are live service games and mtx, wanting in on the pie is not stupid. The approach might be questionable, the underlying drive not so much.
Looks like the Gabe Cube and project Helix seriously spooked Sony 😅😅. Let’s see where their studios whose output don't sells gangbusters like Housemarque end up, with a $70+ milion budget and modest sales. A topic to be revisited later.
Another take could be that PS fans don't have to like and buy everything Sony releases, and especially not at any price.
At £50 Saros could have pushed more sales, alas we are where we are.
If Sony are unhappy with the sale numbers they can always throw Housemarque into the Marvel dungeons with Insomniac. That's sales success pretty much guaranteed😅.
Just recently traded in my vanilla PS4 for the Pro version, which I'm very happy with. This drop is a bit worrying, but I hope to get a good few years of gaming out the PS4Pro, before contemplating another PS console. Same with the Scorpio, which I plan to buy.

Re: Apr 2026 USA Sales: Unremarkable Start for Saros on PS5, as Circana Adds Digital Projections
A PC port would would have probably pushed Saros into "just below remarkable" territory 😉.

Maybe the “crowd” is not ready to accept the install base hyper-monetising plan Sony gleefully announced a while back🤷.

Re: Round Up: Forza Horizon 6 Pulls Incredible Launch Reviews, PS5 Version Still to Come
It looks like this will be another big success for Microsoft and Sony when it launches on PS5.
PS: Wander if it will outsell Saros 😉.
