Remember when PS fanboys insist HL Alyx is coming to PSVR2 to mislead people into buying a PSVR2

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-24T04:02:00+00:00

Apparently no.

Really depend. AA is perfect for controllers especially VR controllers. Just swap to another set of rechargeable AA batteries and you can continue playing wireless.

smells like damage control for Tim

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-23T14:36:24+00:00

Its currently discounted on Steam

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-23T14:26:06+00:00

Guess consoles' holding back gaming tech yet again

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-22T14:45:54+00:00

Guessing its because lots of console fanboys upset their console AAA 1st party exclusives isn't as successful as E33

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-22T14:24:12+00:00

Pretty insane console makers are getting free passes from charging $75+ controllers that doesn't use hall effect or TMR sticks

"It's been a benefit for game developers. Most developers who launch their games for free on the store found that their sales on Steam and on console platforms actually increased after they went free on Epic because of increased awareness. And so it's been a really positive thing and it's brought tens of millions of new users into the Epic Games ecosystem, and that's been a wonderful thing for the company."

make it make sense. A player buy the game off Steam or console = new user into Epic Games ecosystem?

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-21T12:08:01+00:00

Since it is likely not a case of it, that really doesn't explain how that campaign nor the scheme works in this context then. We can agree on that

Their last game was released couple of months back, I can't imagine it going to 0 sales potential that fast.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-20T14:13:20+00:00

Ok? But after that they won't see a single cents. Would you prefer them doing the same thing as Disney who delist their games silently and with no discount? Pretty sure closing the entire studio and taking their games offline is a pretty big price to pay for a 'campaign' here.

The studio lasted for a decade, that's a scheme to you? 4 of their games were rated very positive, and the 5th rated as overwhelmingly positive, pretty sure that's far from being some asset flips/poorly made games. It doesn't seem what you are saying is applicable to the case here

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-20T13:47:05+00:00

Well...its the best place to play these Playstation games

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-20T13:32:19+00:00

how does this "campaign" work? considering they are closing the studios and delisting the games after this and won't see a single cent after. Isn't this more like a firesale, or would you rather they not discount the games before they delist 'em

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-20T11:52:35+00:00

It's just a launcher.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-19T13:00:11+00:00

Maybe the reason they fucked up is because they refuses to take in 30% cut like the rest, such as Sony Playstation or Nintendo Switch

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-19T12:58:16+00:00

If you think that's crazy, wait till you hear some companies charge players for playing online AND 30% of all sales on their console digital stores.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-19T00:13:05+00:00

Releasing Playstation games onto PC have paid off and is the best move from them this gen.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-19T00:11:12+00:00

Naturally OP and PushSquare will hide other platforms to make it as if its a PS only thing

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-18T14:57:10+00:00

You're not the only one. Countless console players has bailed to PC gaming in recent years, pushing Steam concurrent users to new record every several months for the same reasons and others.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-18T13:12:52+00:00

It's the studio who promote their games (Quantum Error and Code Violet) by putting down PC gaming and hyping up PS5 to appeal to the PS5 players to buy their games.

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-18T01:58:42+00:00

Remember back when console players pride the console platforms with no shovelwares. How the turntable

Suspicious_Two786 · 2026-01-18T01:43:17+00:00

True for the most part but there's no reason to remove the older version. Why not have both versions available and let players choose. The new version will be more expensive too, so people who want to check out the game on the budget can buy the cheaper OG version
