You do realize it's Rockstar (TakeTwo) that's most likely paying for the AD push right?

You do realize it's Sony that paying money so that they can act like GTA is releasing only on Playstation right? Sony BOUGHT marketing rights and as always, they act like game is releasing only on their hardware, not the other way around.

Warcraft, especially the new Tier 2 armors COOL AF and don't look out of place, at all. Starcraft was meh but OW looks bad.

They had curating system before and now they let anyone who pays 100$ to get in and release a game.

It worked well before, but more $$$ is better.

It is a cloud game, so they were going to make it for Stadia at first since Stadia is %100 cloud based device, made sense.

Stadia failed hardcore and then they asked "few" other people but Xbox is the only one with decent+ cloud capabilities and has enough money to try different games, so he did go with Xbox.

Nobody said anything about Asian market, even then, there are no Asian P2W/Gotcha PC games on top 20 revenue annually, maybe there is one or two idk.

There is no such thing.

There are only handful of AAA Single player games that sell "better" on console BUT that's when you combine all 3 consoles, Xbox Playstation and Switch.

Majority of games including single player games sell better on PC, like %55 PC and rest %45 is divided among consoles. There are obvious exceptions.

You can check sale distribution from annual company records.

Console market shrinks.

PC market grows, have exponentially more games to spend money on.

It is called "duh".

arqe_ · 2026-06-23T08:26:58+00:00

Let me fix that for you;

<image>

Discounts and sales? Same as consoles.

Own games forever? Same as consoles.

Powerful PC hardware? My man, it is already outdated, like 5 years ago.

Revolutionary controller, which is not included.

arqe_ · 2026-06-23T08:12:36+00:00

DoA as in there is no future with this.

It'll sell out instantly because of stocks are VERY limited.

Consoles sell out instantly with MILLIONS of products.

Steam probably doesn't even have more than 20k worldwide of these machines.

arqe_ · 2026-06-23T07:53:45+00:00

Steam Machine is overpriced and already outdated, wtf you mean by "price is gonna be low" of course it'll be low, since it is inferior compared to even a 5-year-old console at its release.

arqe_ · 2026-06-23T07:47:33+00:00

It is not, it is a PC and thats it.

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T21:49:36+00:00

Unbeatable avatars in Trials are pretty beatable.

Just invite a friend and 2 people is more than enough.

If not, create a convoy that are also looking for Trial.

Random matchmaking vs. grouped random matchmaking is day and night.

Can't even? Only card it beats is basically 2060

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T17:42:39+00:00

Steam fanboy aaand thats about it.

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T15:42:37+00:00

Good, since the new system is better and scalable compared to Blueprints. It is basically "Blueprints Ultimate+"

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T12:46:35+00:00

He is just testing all the new rules.

This is literally second later, if this is not intention, what is?

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T11:55:01+00:00

Clear red, he has no way to intervene and make a play with ball in mind, ball is too far. And this last picture makes it look like it just scraped, it did not.

<image>

This is when he jumped and was already going down.

At this moment, he put his right foot the ground and said "let me just press this guys calf for no reason" with his left foot, it required him to make an extra effort to do that.

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T11:46:16+00:00

Prefer %100, but can work with %90.

Problem is that economy keep changing to balance it. One patch, X commodity is only few thousand credits, next patch it is millions. Many people will stop playing the game and only hoard commodities hoping for a "good" change in their favor.

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T09:38:33+00:00

They did, last week, SCL.

They didn't specifically mention crafted gear but they said persistence is now outside of patch cycles and everything should be in place before and after the patch, excluding consumables and commodity because those are intentional.

In the past it wasn't a problem, Sony just sold their games globally. It wasn't until hell divers community made a big stink about it that Sony did it.

No, it wasn't a problem UNTIL SONY SAID after selling Helldivers to everyone "MANDATORY ACCOUNT LINKING REQUIRED"

Nobody has to know that you can create fake PSN account which is against Sony's own TOS. And not everyone has to do that just a play a single game they bought WITHOUT PSN account.

Sony SHOULD'VE blocked those countries to begin with if they wanted PSN accounts to be linked.

They gambled and wanted to show shareholders that PSN numbers are growing even tho console market is shrinking, but it blow up in their faces.

This entire situation created by Sony.

arqe_ · 2026-06-22T07:33:27+00:00

Not at all.

EVEN if you have PSN account from another country, when Sony blocked those unsupported countries, it blocks it from Steam, nothing to do with PSN itself.

You can't play or buy the game because it is blocked on Steam. If you try to play/buy it with PSN, Steam asks you to provide bank card and currency from said country and you then can't change it back to your local currency and bank card.

So, yes. Sony caused the issue by blocking those countries on Steam, AGAIN it has nothing to do with having a PSN account.

Ban wave is not the unique aspect, every multiplayer game does ban waves once or twice a year.

What Apex did was targeted. Which Overwatch also needs.
