This week on Digital Fiasco, hosts Dandr0id and Jack McBastard talk about how games stretch content: DLC, Games as a Service, and Free to Play models.
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
Sony has also launched the PSN Store "Weekend Offer" this May 17, and this one includes a lot of AAA titles, and 2K-published games.
Some good games but they are all old and should be a lot cheaper than what they are on that sale. Hard pass.
The Epic Games Store has a GOTY Edition, AAA title they want you to add to your library.
