I realized the only game I play online is FFXIV, which doesn’t require PS+. I almost never play the “free” games they add to the service, and spend a non-zero amount of time browsing said free games in an effort to find something to play rather than something in my backlog. So I just canceled.

My membership is up in December and I doubt I’ll even notice when it’s gone.

For the three of us who bought a PSVR2, the foveated rendering they finally added with this update is fantastic. Still not as good as playing it on a TV, but so much better than the blurry mess it used to be.

You can customize them through the emulator (or Steam) to make the controls a bit more modern. I found a community layout for AC2 when I played in on my Steam Deck that made it feel much more like how AC6 plays.

I agree for the most part. However, due to how Steam only lets its users review games in a binary manner of good or bad, and how prominent Overwatch 2 is (major publisher, highly advertised), I think this is a case where it is warranted.

It’s easy to assume that everyone has the same level of interest and enthusiasm in the game’s industry to follow all of the shitty practices, both in terms of development and just in general, that Blizzard has demonstrated over the years, but people like us are not the target audience for their ads and we aren’t the people they’re trying to get to play OW2.

Most people who fire up Steam don’t know who Blitzchung is. They haven’t heard about the whole breast milk thing, or about the bathroom camera thing. On top of that, they haven’t looked into anything about OW2, so they won’t know about how the game was only developed to move the previous entry’s player base into the new fleecing “free”-to-play model. They won’t know about the promised, yet cut content. They’ll just see the banner ad and click on it to check to see what the game is all about. Seeing an immediate overwhelmingly negative review is going to make them pause and then check out the comments to see what’s going on.

And also this is really the only way Gamers have to let their voices be heard against gaming companies like this. The statement of vote with your wallet doesn’t work with a free-to-play title like this. It also doesn’t matter, because whales are going to play it anyway and that’s where all of their money comes from. The overwhelmingly negative review at the very least could potentially prevent additional people from falling victim to their schemes.
