Accusations that Prey 2 was cancelled after Bethesda purposefully failed the game's milestones in an attempt to acquire Human Head Studios for a lower price are "utter nonsense", Bethesda's marketing VP Pete Hines has said.
Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.
Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.
You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.
So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.
Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???
I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.
You have to understand they’re incapable of writing a good story so this is the best they could come up with

Limited Run Games believes that more companies will start selling a limited number of physical media in a decade.
Like a vocal minority demand?
On PS5 alone the digital sales made up 77% of all game sales in 2024.

Also, I despise f*ckin limited run games because they will extort people that want a physical version by marking up the prices almost 100% so they make more. So a game digitally that’s $30 you can expect it to be $60 on LRG and don’t even get me started on the collectors edition prices… it’s borderline highway robbery.
Yeah and other quarters it is 63% and sometimes lower than that, the split goes up and down so it isn't quite the digital domination you are trying to paint. I suspect given all that has been going on the past couple of years with digital and subscriptions people might start having a change of heart and tip the balance back.
No, it is quite the domination that I’m painting it out to be. Otherwise we wouldn’t be hearing how stores out struggling or seeing the removal of physical media flat out.
Please show me the quarter where physical sales beat out digital please. I would like to stand corrected.
I've never liked their practice of taking someone elses work and putting their own spin on it. Glorified bootleggers is what they are. Peddling their reproductions at more than full value of the original.
You do know the developers sign up for it and get paid. Believe it's a 70 percent developer and 30 percent limited run games. How are they bootlegging. They also go through Sony so it's all legit
At the end of the day, they are providing a service that others don't. You can moan about it all you want, but the reality is that without them, very few niche games would get a physical release. It's niche and they don't get the benefit of large volume manufacturing and sales.
They are a business; they have many costs. They employ staff, probably pay out benefits, have to invest in capital and property, have to work out licensing and contract agreements, have to come up with design ideas and work with manufacturers, they have to market, and they have to take on risk of inventory. They do it while still providing a service that others are willing to pay for. Sounds like a success story to me.
Those numbers are fabricated as fk though.
Say there's 1000s games and only 200 are available physically. Of course digital will be higher.
what are you even going on about?
What is being fabricated as “fk” with and I quote, “ Sony's fiscal report for the year ending March 2024, less PlayStation owners are buying boxed PS5 games that ever before. PS5 and PS4 physical sales in 2024 now only account for 30% of all PlayStation games sold as players continue to invest more in their digital game collections. Plus, with the release of the new PS5 Slim with its optional disk drive, we might see even more players buying the best PS5 games digitally.”
Help me with the mental gymnastics on how the numbers are fabricated in a fiscal financial report…
And regardless of the number of games even your point still shows how digital is selling more than physical. Like, what is even happening here?
A physical media distributor is even saying the landscape is changing in this very article. I don’t even know how this is up for debate. What will be apparent is “fk’s” like LRG will charge you way above the MSRP for physical games.
I have 4 sealed first release copies of Class of Hero’s 2g on PS3 from Monkey Paw. The only way they’d be printed is if you placed an order, so it was a publishing run by number of orders. Their shipping date was delayed a couple months due to some publishing issue from Sony at the time. Monkey Paw ended up making another run or two of the games publication after the first
Here is another accusation and this one you can't refute. Bethesda has abused the Prey name. Risk averse studios like Bethesda felt the need ride the Prey name instead of either exercising a modicum of originality or better still, continuing the story so well laid down in the previous iteration.
Lies
This isn't the first time they are accused of doing this. Obsidian is another studio they allegedly tried this with but that failed when Pillars of Eternity ended up keeping them afloat. All speculation though..so...
I'd believe you pete if you didn't keep saying that the real reason you didn't continue on with the game was because of its quality anybodies who's played fallout 3 through fallout 4 knows that's a bullshit assertion if your gonna lie at least use one that doesn't immediately get contradicted by games made by your own in house studio.
