Oh c’mon. This was hardly a last minute publisher decision following Sony’s announcement.

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

I get that, some of this is what others have told me (in a positive way) and it’s actually gained respect.

But where it really matters, I’m seen as more of a problem in jobs (despite outputting more than a lot of people and having a lot of feedback/input)

I find in jobs that I get a lot of praise and respect from immediate colleagues, which is generally how I progress so quick (plus putting in the effort) but I can tell higher up I’m seen as more of a problem

A) There is no further progression in my role.

B) Everybody is a number. There’s employment laws and trade unions for a reason.

I’m very disliked - I’m not afraid to call BS out, speak my mind, I’m not false around senior management and treat everybody equally. I put my foot down with wrong doings, particularly those affecting employments rights (where others put their head in the sand)

I don’t do socials, I’m probably overly keen and grab work at any opportunity which makes others look bad. I’ve made suggestions that have improved the way we work, which others have taken credit for.

What have I learned?

It’s just a job. The only thing I have in common with most people is we work in the same place. I’ve learned not to care.

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

How do they know this? How would you even measure temperature past a certain point

Or a stalker.

They all live in one shared house, he’s outside the front door.

I’d imagine some of these people are actually conditioned into developing it

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

I was raised by athiests, but neither parent gave any indication that they were and let me make my own opinions and decisions.

In fact, when I was young I actually went to church due to there being a free minibus, along with a youth club for any children.

It was around the age where I realised the tooth fairy and Santa Claus wasn’t real, that I came to my senses and realised that magic sky gods, bible magic etc was a load of crap as well

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

Linkin Park - In The End Or RHCP - Californication

Both ahead of their time imo
