Yeah, it was a mistake… After they got called on it.

It was absolutely in there on purpose.

It was absolutely in there on purpose.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.

In a follow-up posted to social media this morning, NetEase went on to "apologize for any unpleasant experiences or doubts caused by the miscommunication of these terms...

What was supposed to be possible for streamers to say then? “Well I can’t criticize, so the game must be great. Ehm, is it? Nobody can say.”

They asked the streamers for reviews but gave them an advertising contract by mistake!

I hope the reviewers all made really positive, upbeat videos praising the way they chose to stick to such a proven pay-to-win strategy. The cosmetics and in-game currency that you spend real money to acquire really gives players a way to dispose of their bothersome disposable income. And earning daily login bonuses has never been so streamlined!

I know nothing about this game, but I would bet money this is the formula.

Potatisen, rok temu do astronomy w Daily Telescope: The initial results from Europe’s Euclid telescope are dazzling

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e859ec46-d3f9-4aa8-8655-83794eaa8ed7.jpeg

According to the European scientists, “Euclid peered deep into this nursery using its infrared camera, exposing hidden regions of star formation for the first time, mapping its complex filaments of gas and dust in unprecedented detail, and uncovering newly formed stars and planets. Euclid’s instruments can detect objects just a few times the mass of Jupiter, and its infrared ‘eyes’ reveal over 300,000 new objects in this field of view alone.”

Is the new CFB game going to be released on PS4? I still have mine, but I’ve switched to PC gaming the last couple of years. But NCAA 25 isn’t going to be released on PC right away, and I heard GTA6 was going to be the same. Those games are probably what get me to finally upgrade to the PS5

NOT_RICK, rok temu

My buddy is a big CFB guy and was complaining he’d have to buy a new gen console to play it

slurpinderpin, rok temu

Granted I think the cheaper Xbox will also be able to play it, but with tuned down graphics. Fuck it though, I’m not poor so I’ll just get a PS5

NOT_RICK, rok temu

Yeah if you already have a pc to play games on then I think PS5 makes more sense

wirelesswire, rok temu do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they're my only dvd and blu ray players.

Dudewitbow, rok temu

the PS5 also has reletively low game ownership rate, so the hours on PS5 are either games given for free/part of subscription, or free to play.

makyo, rok temu

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.

Dudewitbow, rok temu

this generation is odd because the effects of covid are still being felt.

ampersandrew, rok temu

With or without covid, development times still got to be too long, and fewer games are the natural result of that.

phoneymouse, rok temu

I have yet to buy a PS5 because there isn’t a game I want yet. Also, Sony tends to release improved consoles with lower price points and smaller footprints after a few years.

stardust, rok temu

For some reason that doesn’t surprise me. When I got a PS4 there were like at least 10 exclusives I wanted. This gen seems it’s mostly remasters and remakes. So ignoring that Sony games come to PC now it doesn’t even meet my criteria of number of exclusives to justify picking one up.

brsrklf, rok temu do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

as other's have said, console makes pretty good all purpose media center unless you are a high end electronic waste snob.

I’m over here in the corner enjoying the metal gear collection on my PS3

Kolanaki, rok temu

Why oh why is MGS4 the only one not on any other system? It can’t even be streamed on PS4 or 5. 😩

iagomago, rok temu

iirc it’s a “fault” of the PS3 architecture which makes it practically impossible to emulate. We’ll have to see if the second part of the remastered MSG collection will eventually port it.

Dariusmiles2123, rok temu

Well I don’t see why you couldn’t emulate it on a ps5. People are doing it on pc so I guess it’s more that Sony doesn’t care and don’t want to invest in it.

It’s one side where Microsoft is better than Sony, retrocompatinility.

I’m still playing a lot of ps4 and ps3 games, so I hope my ps3 is gonna stay fit for purpose in the long term 🤞

And it is more expensive than the og model lol (without the dock).

It’s not slim. I was waiting for a slim version, like I usually do with PlayStation. Now I’m just writing off the PS5 entirely.
