After all these years, Sony broke news that starting in early 2019, PlayStation users will finally be able to change their PSN Online IDs. The confirmed beta for this feature is almost ready to begin, as details have leaked.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
The only good thing here is the first change is free
everything else sounds really bad. It's pretty much the same as creating a new account and starting from 0.
PSN just needs a major overhaul. So I can change my name, but I potentially could be losing a ton of stuff. Yeah, not worth it.
I don't like what they're doing. I don't want to loose some stuff or maybe all of my stuff from switching names, but at the same time why change the name that you picked for yourself in the first place? Why make a dumb gamertag if it's offensive or just something that didn't represent you? Might as well just start a whole new account and erase your past. I understand some people might of made an account when they was young and use some dumb gamertag that they don't like now. Just keep the one you got or take a chance on losing some or maybe all your stuff and change your gamertag. At least the first time is free.
What the frak? Why all the potholes? I could see for leaderboards or uploads of created content where 3rd party servers are involved but why would you potentially lose paid DLC on your own console??? Why can’t sub accounts change names??? I guess the gf is rawdog 4 life
Yeaaaah.... Im not changing my name for my trophies, save data, paid content and many more isn't worth it
