PLAYSTATIONBLOG.NET delves into the recent used game dibacle and why used games sales, while unfortunate to developers, will never change.
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns director Jake Solomon has founded a new studio to make a life sim game. Here's a new interview with him.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"

"After all, there are people all over who can and will buy a copy of Twisted Metal or God of War at a discounted price. Isnt that something good? Gamestop is helping to broaden the demographic of people who can buy YOUR titles. It is my dream to become as involved and as acclaimed as you in this industry Mr. Jaffe. It appears that you and I share different priorities however. If more people were able to play my games because retailers like Gamestop sold them for discounted prices, then great! I would die a happy man knowing that more people got to experince my product."

Do you actually know that you need something called money to make the games? And that money comes from the same games they sell = profit... And if people opt to buy used copies (to save what? 5 bucks? you trade in your $60 games, GS gives you like $20 for it and then they sell it for $55. LOL) none of that money goes to developers.
Probably a sony droid.
jaffe , your games suck ,(besides GOW series)
calling all cars - wtf
twisted metal -wtf
i dont know what else you make .
les absolutely humiliated you in the debate.
Is anyone else getting a bit sick of this person....David Jaffe seriously no one cares about him well i certainly don't also i'm looking forward to Dante's Inferno i heard its a great game and graphics too.
Used games are a horrid, horrid thing. Sure, it's great to be able to find old titles easily... but the fact that developers are cut out, and Gamestop keeps seeing record profits, is disgusting.
