Honestly I would take the little banner if it meant there was not comerical breaks. The fact that they do this on top of all the ads they also play at breaks is so over the top. I have been getting into European football and I find it so refreshing that they play 45 mins half straight through. It’s way faster games and there is not the disruption of comericals. In those games they have the banner, but I don’t mind it as much
When I saw that price tag for the pro, I knew that I had bought my last PlayStation console. If I decide to invest on new hardware, it will be a PC I can control rather than some locked box plugged into my TV.
Don’t come to Canada. If I was able to leave this country, I would. We have so many of the same problems as the US. I would go to Europe
It’s been great watching Ubisoft fail so spectacularly in the only thing big game companies seem to care about now, share price. It’s been a long time coming with their garbage practices. I remember when they were creative and used to try to make great games. Black Flag and Farcry 4 are still some of my favourite games.
Hopefully what is happening to Ubisoft and their share price scares the shit out of all the big gaming companies and forces them to listen to what gamers want rather than trying to get them to play live service games.
Yeah, we almost voted these guys out a year ago. BC just had the NDPs come back onto power and I am hoping the same thing happens here in a few years. These conservatives are by for the worst politicians we have ever had and many Albertans know it.
When I was a kid I remember my grandparents would just put $50-$100 in a card and call it a day. I loved the gift of just money because the possibilities of what I could buy myself were endless. It made more sense for my grandparents too as they had no idea what kids my age wanted anyway and I would’ve likely been disappointed if they tried to buy me what they thought I wanted.
For whatever reason now though, it’s seen as lazy or uncaring if you just gift money. I would argue that this is some bs corporations have created to get us to feel obligated to buy an actual item. In my mind though, money is the best gift.
On a related note, my parents bought us a $100 giftcard one year and when we went to us it we discovered that there was a slip of paper covering the barcode. That slip of paper had a photocopy of another barcode on it, so when my parents put money on the card, it actually went on a different card. Pretty common scam we found out. When we called the stores help line, they said they could not help us. So yeah fuck giftcards. The companies themselves won’t even take steps to ensure they are secure. As long as they still got their money, they don’t care if scammers got to use the giftcard instead.
I heard they were lowering manufacturing for the Pro because they were anticipating lower interest so then they could still say that the Pro model sold out despite the criticism. Hopefully it so grossly under performs the Sony sees the errors of their ways.
The damage Sony and Microsoft have done to console gaming is showing. More people getting driven to PC everyday. I had only consoles my whole life, but the steam deck showed me that my next gaming machine will be a PC.
I’ve been thinking this when watching sports recently as well. I would argue that now these companies have decided that commercial breaks are not enough. Now they put ads on the freaking court and the players jersey so every shot of the game has an ad in view.
Even the sidelines have changed. There used to always be ads there but they were static and never changed during the game so they were easy to ignore. Now there are these computer generated ads there and they move around to try to get your attention. Hockey is almost unwatchable because of the ads on the boards that never stop changing. I still go to sports live when I can and pretty soon that is going to be the only reasonable way to watch sports and enjoy it.
American Dad. It’s Family Guy made way better. The episodes are so original and creative. The first 7 seasons are all gold.
Sounds like a desperate attempt to keep shareholders happy after they admitted how far they are from having more first party titles.
PS5 is such a failure. They will make a lot of money from it, but it’s the generation that ruined PlayStations strong brand and trust
