Bethesda's sci-fi RPG would have come to PlayStation if not for Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax in 2021, according to the FTC.
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.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
Sony has launched the PlayStation Store "Planet of the Discounts" sale today, and this one includes a lot of AAA titles.
Major kudos to Mp1st for these nicely organized, collapsible tabs. This really is helpful when sifting through this many titles.
Thank you! 🙏🤜🤛
Like I said in my last post. Microsoft intentions was to always make Bethesda games Xbox exclusive but they had to say some games will not be an exclusive but case to case basis to finalize the deal. They're using the same strategy with Activision after the buyout and COD and popular games will be an Xbox exclusive which makes sense after acquiring them for 70 billion. I knew FTC was going to try and use Bethesda acquisition as an argument

Well yeah, Sonys platform was their biggest money maker in the console industry. MS has banned Bethesda's games from one of it's biggest revenue streams.
Microsoft really think they slick by making all these Bethesda games exclusive while pretending they won’t do that with Activision Blizzard
60 FPS on PS5?
Yea no sh*t. The announcement was before the acquisition.
It’s not shocking that when MS bought Bethesda all games became exclusive. Is this rocket science or something?
The reason Death Loop and Ghostwire were released is because MS honored Sony’s contract for the game’s timed exclusivity. Sony were already doing showcases and mentioning the exclusivity. MS actually didn’t have to do this as when a buyout occurs contracts can become void.
Starfield was never mentioned to be a console exclusive. We just got a lame teaser about it and it was implied to be multi-console as most Bethesda games were.
