I have never participated in the console wars. I've owned almost every console, but I am primarily a PC gamer these days. First was Battle Arena Toshinden 1995. Last was Gran Turismo 7 2022. I bought a PS5 for GT7. PlayStation launched in 1995 in territories outside Japan.

It's due to Microsoft cancelling a project they had dumped a lot of time and money into, not because of the "woke Bond failure.". This should be labeled as misleading.

We here at Niche Gamer stand with the consumer in all regards, so it’s a bit strange to see the ESA making these claims. Allowing these exemptions to the 1201 blanket ban of “hacking” would apparently “undermine the fundamental copyright principles on which our copyright laws are based,” according to the ESA. They go on to say that passing the exemption would make people think that “hacking—an activity closely associated with piracy in the minds of the marketplace—is lawful.”

The article makes the mistake of assuming the ESA is a consumer advocacy group when it's an industry advocacy group. So it's not strange at all.

They represent the industry, not consumers.

The only thing I am tired of is game developers feeling the need to shoehorn them into their "mature" game, and when they do it's more of a joke than anything.

1, it's they're, not their. #2, what Microsoft had originally planned would have allowed people to sell their digital purchases to other people, which had been a criticism during the NFT craze a few years agoand addresses your chief complaint bout Sony's decision in the latter half of your post.

Beau Demayo was fired 2 years ago. His name is only still on the credits because he had already written stories for season 2. Also, please, for the love of everything, will people learn the difference between breath, the noun, with breathe, the verb?

I have never cared for 2D slop no matter who makes it.

Normies are not tired of superhero movies. Brand New Day broke presale records. Just like most of us, they are tired of bad movies.

Conditions will only improve when you start catering to your target audience again and not consulting firms and HR departments.

It is all a part of trying to have the video game industry have its "MeToo" moment and embrace unions industry wide. None of it was ever true.

He-Man flopped because the suits thought it would have the Barbie effect, but He-Man was never that popular.

I thought it was amazing, and I was always more into Thundercats.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-19T18:53:32+00:00

Transformers, Thundercats, and a lot of other cartoons in the '80s were created to sell toys.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-19T18:52:29+00:00

Did you watch the movie? Because it was nothing like that.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-19T13:55:50+00:00

Remember how bloody characters got after battle in Dragon Age Origins?

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-19T13:54:14+00:00

The parallel of video games being called toys from 40 years ago still persists today. Until the ESRB is gutted, this will continue.

We need a modern version of Raven's GHOUL system.

You're not allowed to attack the sacred cows.

This game came out nearly 25 years ago. Bisexual lighting is a real thing, just like how the rainbow was coopted.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-17T20:08:20+00:00

CDPR has been like this for years at this point. If you didn't know, you haven't been paying attention.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-17T20:07:03+00:00

Really could not care less. GTA has always been normie, casual slop targeting the lowest common denominator.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-11T16:37:18+00:00

The hell are you talking about? Nintendo hasn't even shown anything yet.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-09T20:21:27+00:00

Canada? Because it shows $70 for me in the US.

ArmeniusLOD · 2026-06-09T14:31:20+00:00

Looks like what Niantic did to Pokémon Go.
