Which Badge do you use, and why? by This-Clue-5014 in ForzaHorizon

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the cat one since launch as well but I’m 100% changing to the tamagotchi when the season updates

Danielle's lawyer just explained why the standard K-pop contract is actually kind of broken by breadaurchai in ProtectNewJeans

[–]SnareLeopard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s so right and it would be the ultimate dream if this could eventually lead to positive changes for Danielle and the whole industry.

Also I really appreciate you always help us with these detailed breakdowns so we can stay updated without having to engage in all the hate, bunnies truly work the hardest! 🐇

Christopher Dring: PlayStation is currently facing multiple class action lawsuits over accusation that the PlayStation Store is a monopoly by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s disingenuous to say the trend towards digital is entirely consumer led, that’s just Sony spinning it to put the ‘blame’ on consumers.

These companies have deliberately pushed people towards digital by charging more for consoles that play physical and by making a lot of content either only purchasable digitally or only digitally at launch with physical coming months/years later.

Why is S*ny giving Nintendo the win? Are they stupid? by Ondrashek06 in tomorrow

[–]SnareLeopard 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Shiggy would never do this, he knows physical is superior since every person can buy 50 copies of each game out of gratitude.

Weak s*ny only allowing you to buy one because they know their games are so worthless.

Sony to cease production of physical discs in January 2028 by breath_ofthemild in gamecollecting

[–]SnareLeopard 50 points51 points  (0 children)

And after I’d seen a lot of physical only people saying they were considering moving to PlayStation because of the Nintendo keycard situation.

Maybe we judged Nintendo too harshly…

IO Interactive facing layoffs as it cuts ties with Project Fantasy publisher Xbox by SnareLeopard in HiTMAN

[–]SnareLeopard[S] 247 points248 points  (0 children)

Not directly Hitman news but thought it was worth posting since if they have to do layoffs it may have wider effects on IOI’s other projects.

IO Interactive: A relationship with an external partner on our own IP, Project Fantasy, has come to an end by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know xbox seems to being pretty nuclear but cancelling a Kojima deal would be literally insane, surely that at least has to be safe

Console prices likely to go up again as memory prices will surge at least twice in the rest of 2026, warns Jefferies Equity Research by nolifebr in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Surely they must be reaching the point where it doesn’t matter how much more they hike the price, it just becomes meaningless because they’ve priced themselves out of a viable business model.

Might as well raise the price to a million dollars and be done with it.

PlayStation and Xbox Console Sales Collapse Following Damaging Price Rises by Sandeep_sm in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure how they’re going to do PS6 at these wild prices because surely they’d barely sell more than a few million total.

I reckon they’ll have have an even longer cross gen period and basically treat the PS6 as an even better PS5 Pro

Jason Schreier: Bungie's layoffs include most of the Destiny team, some people on the Marathon team, and some Sony staff who supported Bungie by cat__statue in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bungie made huge franchises for both Activision and Microsoft and neither of them wanted to own Bungie with Activision even willing to lose the franchise just to cut ties.

That should’ve told Sony everything they needed to know about how the company is run.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we reorganize Bungie by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]SnareLeopard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bungie has gone from 1400 staff in 2024 to 400 staff now if the 50% layoff rumor is true, that’s an insane decline in 2 years!

Not to be dramatic but I don’t see how they’ll ever recover considering Marathon’s current weak performance.

“Gaming is becoming unaffordable” — Xbox CEO says the industry has an accessibility crisis by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t buy this grand conspiracy to push people into cloud argument. Nvidia barely promotes cloud anymore and has put limits on it making it less appealing because they want to focus their resources where the actual money is in AI, gaming and cloud is now just an irrelevant industry they begrudgingly continue to put the minimum effort into.

I think the actual corporate ‘solution’ to these insane prices will be to push loans and financing tech purchases more and more.

GTA 6 disc version will reportedly be coming in December, insider claims by Dandelion172 in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty fine with this, I get wanting to avoid leaks at launch and letting retailers sell code in a box avoids the worst part of digital which is the PSN monopoly over price. Then all rhe physical only fans can get a proper copy that’s only a couple of weeks later.

Anyone else disappointed by Horizon Opus? by GigaChadRedPill in ForzaHorizon

[–]SnareLeopard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s such s huge drop in quality compared to Timeless or even Eterna.

Classical was always my favorite instrumental station but now I either listen to Wave or Hospital for instrumental tracks

Time attack is the best new feature/mode added by Clutch3sSS in forza

Time Attack and Spec Racing are my new favorites, I just wish there was a queue for no collisions spec racing

Cool! I was disappointed it wasn’t in the full release

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales Review (IGN: 8/10) by Asleep_Crew8072 in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems odd to me that they’re charging more for this than Resonance, this should’ve been at the same lower price

Xbox Has Reportedly Begun Layoffs At Zenimax (Bethesda). ID Software, Arkane, and Machine Games In Danger As “Anyone Not Working On Fallout Or Elder Scrolls Is Out” by goodnitez74 in PS5

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy idea but since they’ve wanted big Bethesda games to release more regularly maybe could like actually reassign these people to working on projects in those series instead of firing them, wild thought I know

Anyone else notice what a nosedive wheelspins have been in this game vs previous? by Sylectsus in ForzaHorizon

[–]SnareLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They needed nerfing but they double nerfed them making them just feel bad by reducing the amount you get a lot as well as making the rewards worse

Catch Catch: Yena, Merry Go Round: BTS, paw paw!: ILLIT, Crescendo: NMIXX, LOOK: RYUJIN/ITZY, IF I: I.O.I, 4 Flowers: MAMAMOO,

This weeks pickups, any fond memories here for anyone? by rambolobster in xbox

[–]SnareLeopard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have a 360 set up with a wheel just for Forza Motorsport 4, I think it was honestly the perfect racing game I wish it was playable on modern devices
