E3 2018 was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Microsoft may have had a fantastic briefing, but one could argue that a lot of the big hitting announcements (studio acquisitions, the vague promise of new hardware) were really just laying the foundation for this years event. The rest of the show was quite underwhelming. Sony’s conference was poorly paced, and also felt a bit light on content. Perhaps it’s for the best that they’re taking a pass this time around. EA were a hot mess of non announcements and tone deaf monologues, Ubisoft totally dropped the ball with an excessively padded show, and Bethesda and Nintendo were very middle of the road. So, as we approach E3 2019, it seems the only way is up, and Microsoft is poised to smash it.
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.

It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
The Persona / Shin Megami Tensei cosplay gathering allowed fans of the acclaimed JRPG series to meet up during FanimeCon 2024.
Steal the show? The competition isn’t even showing up. Lol

Don't underestimate the other third party publishers.
Sure but many of its titles will still be multiplats so it’s a meaningless win
Sony is not there so this is the only way they could steal the show.
