A lot of people are criticising Sony for raising the price of the PS5, but this is actually a good move and they're saving you money
For example, I was originally going to buy a PS5 for 499 euro but now i'm not buying a PS5 at all

It's an image of a fridge.
I added a fridge next to the Xbox Series X and called it the PS5.
It was a joke.
Not sure why Microsoft wants to buy Discord when they could just download it for free

Here is a look at Black Myth: Wu Kong, a new single player action adventure / RPG game developed by Chinese indie studio Game Science Studio. It is based on Journey to the West mythology.
The game is planned to release for PC and Consoles and is using UE4. No release date.
My PS5 has been standing vertically since launch and it still works fine
oh so everyone is unhappy that cyberpunk 2077 is full of bugs but absolutely no one is calling out bugsnax for the same issue
i see how it is
Persona 5 is the perfect game for Game Pass because it forces people to subscribe for at least 5 years to 100% it
Meanwhile in China where there are over 400 million esports fans.

Broke: Watching all Death Stranding trailers and not knowing what the hell is going on.
Woke: Reading the description on the official website and realising this sounds awesome.
For those confused why Square Enix's press conference was quite short that's because you need to watch the other versions for it all to make sense.
Square Enix E3 0.2
Square Enix E3 1.5 + 2.5 Remix
Square Enix E3 358/2 days
Square Enix E3 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
So anyway, here's the promotional video for Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers from Square Enix on the left and the promotional video for Doula Continent: Soul Master Duel from 37 Interactive on the right.
The Xbox Series X may not ship with 'Halo Infinite' but it still has great launch software such as 'System Software Update V1.01'

A Chinese Animal Crossing player has set up a store on their Island where other players can buy custom designed in game items from them.
They added their WeChat Pay and AliPay QR codes as a custom design in the game so people can send them real world money for the items. lol

Someone Who Is Good At The Economy Please Help Me Budget This. My game development business is dying!
Some unique decorations in front of this PlayStation Store in Guangzhou, China.
the real reason there hasn't been a proper nintendo direct yet this year is because mario died and they're trying to keep it quiet
Video games really need that "we see you haven't played this game in six months so here is a quick tutorial to help you remember how to play" feature asap
This is going to be the Nintendo Switch killer!
Not because it sells well, but because you can use the Steam Deck to literally kill the Switch with enough blunt force applied

I hope that whatever the outcome of this situation, it doesn't take away from the actual discussion that should be taking place about unfair compensation across the VA (and other) industry and how residuals need to become industry standard
I think it says a lot that there have been multiple news articles about Nibel leaving Twitter, not to mention his account was the #4 trend on Twitter US
His contribution was immeasurable
Will miss his presence on here for sure. I wish him the best of luck for the future!

Kind of weird that this game is free at point of download in Europe but costs $2,000 in the US.
What's up with that?
A lot of people think Sony buying Bungie Bungie around the same time as the Microsoft / Activision Blizzard deal was fate. Some people think it was a coincidence. I think it was destiny.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have written a joint letter to oppose proposed tariffs from the Trump administration.
Tariffs on video game consoles are currently set to increase by 25%.

A lot of people may be wondering why Sony is releasing a PS5 remake of game that came out less than 10 years ago.
It's important to remember that by the time you actually get a PS5 to play it, it will have released more than 15 years ago twitter.com/Nibellion/stat

If you use the Ninja skin it automatically removes all the female skins from the game.
A digital PlayStation 5 console makes sense in 2020 and will be popular, but if we're finally at that point then it's also worth having a conversation about digital game rights.
We can re-sell, gift and refund physical games.
There should be similar options for digital.
Halo Infinite multiplayer, which launched *looks at watch* about 2.5 hours ago, has already surpassed 162k peak concurrent users on Steam.
This makes it the most successful Xbox Game Studios title of all time on Steam
Halo MCC hit 161k PCCU
Forza Horizon 5 hit 81k PCCU.

Hopefully Nintendo can sort out the licensing issue with Nintendo so they can release Super Mario Galaxy 2 on current gen systems at some point.

Disappointed they didn’t announce the PS5 price and release date at the Apple event.

I completely glossed over the part where they talk about Microsoft not having announced more details for the PS5 yet.
Wtf is this article.
Ubisoft China and Chinese clothing brand Sheepedia recently collaborated on some joint products.
Today the company issued an apology that it would no longer be releasing the Ubisoft x Sheepedia mug due to a "bug" during the production process which caused this...

Nintendo has changed a huge amount since it was founded 130 years ago. But there is one thing at Nintendo that has never changed in all that time!
The quality of its online service.

I asked my mom to buy me Ghost of Tsushima so I could avenge the 78 samurai that were killed defending the island.
I think she got confused because she bought me 78 copies of the game.
You'd think the company would only trademark the names of titles it owns.
But it takes, too.
Chinese news channel created this animation to warn people of the dangers associated with Pokemon Go.

People are asking why Sony is remaking a game that came out in 2013 and was already remastered in 2014.
You have to remember that even if it comes out soon, most people won’t be able to play it till 2028 when they can finally find a PS5 in stock
Yeh but people expect a new nintendo direct every month
Regulators in China just introduced a new policy that requires influencers / live streamers who offer professional advice in areas such as medicine, health care, finance, law, education etc... to prove they hold qualifications in the field beforehand.
In just one day from now, PS4 fans will be screaming as The Last of Us 2 is unlocked and ready to play.
To clarify, I’m talking about the fans inside the console, not about PS4 gamers.
I totally get this tbh
It's like when I got a new pair of shoes and it ruined drinking coffee for me

Wow, this is big news for UI/UX. PlayStation 5 will use the X button to confirm by default for ALL REGIONS including Japan, who previously used O to confirm for the past 26 years. Muscle memory frustration for the nearly 10M PS users in Japan coming up.
