It’s the only podcast left that’s not been hacked by The News of the World.
In this edition of In 5 Minutes, all these stories are covered:
The “Welcome Back” Pack’s are extended because gamers aren’t happy they got taken offline
The PS+ Deal is bugged, so go take advantage of the glitch and get an extra month for free!
The PlayStation Network is going to be revamped and will be made “more like Xbox Live”
Good News! Despite the fact the PlayStation Network suffered a massive hack, Dan has bought a PlayStation 3.
Gears of War 3 has been leaked online, in all it’s unfinished, buggy glory.
World of Warcraft: The Vengeance of the Void Expansion Pack was a complete and utter lie.
There’s more Portal 2 music available, for free!
And finally, if you’ve got any money left from the Steam Sales (we know we don’t) why not waste it on some LittleBigPlanet 2 DLC with Final Fantasy VII Sackboys!
The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.
It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.
Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.
In an interview with Game Rant, senior game designer Brian Dowling shared just how much Mists of Pandaria Remix's Spell Gems will shake things up.
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.
It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.
@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.
Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.
Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.
I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5
I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?
Im not sure how its confusing :\
72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.
A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.
But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.
for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.
Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI
72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.
According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.
Internet tells lies? I know it holds lies but it talks??
Well no shit. lol if anyone believes everything he/she reads on the internet we need to give them "the most gullible person on earth" award.
I think this artical is a lie and the internet always tells the truth.
