PS Plus is the new Game with Gold now. Always rubbish.

Have to disagree, the last few months we got:

A Plague Tale: Requiem

Mafia II: Definitive Edition

The Callisto Protocol

Dreams

Alan Wake Remastered

Trek to Yomi

Not huge stuff, per se. But not rubbish to me.

I watched a couple videos. Looks good. But I have no clue what the setting/story are. Giant lizard people? What?

It looked pretty good to me, visually. The animations looked kind of janky, though.

It's not going to be long before this becomes a "Day 1" think.

Mark my words - Sony will go "Day 1 PS/PC".

Sony needs to. They are losing money by not doing day one releasing on PC and once the hype of a game dies down, PC gamers won't give a damn on a year later port game from Sony.

I dunno. They have strong hardware sales, which would suggest their strategy is working for them. Those hardware sales convert to software support from third parties and subscription revenue. In other words, they probably profit better w/ a staggered release than releasing day one on PC.

Depends on what benefits there would be to owning a console. It doesn't sound like there would be any benefit, but I'd be open to it.

Yeah. Worked for 2/3 largest US banks, and some of the largest insurance companies. Most people do not like banks or insurance companies lol.

Out of curiosity, how do you cope with that?

Not saying you're part of why they're terrible but let's say you are a decent person working for a terrible company, do you just get paid enough to shrug it off or what?

No judgement btw, genuinely curious. I have these thoughts about quitting my job often and I just have to tell myself "I work with good people and get paid well enough, just stay the course, dude. Stay the course" lol

No worries, those are good questions. For the banks and one of the insurance companies, I had no moral qualms about working for them. I wasn't asked to do anything unethical or immoral. I leveraged my positions to be as helpful as possible. Also, I remind myself that it's no secret these entities are for-profit, and that their customers have consensually entered a relationship w/ said bank/insurance company. We provided a service they were willing to pay for or have a hassle with.

I will admit, one of the other insurance companies was more of an moral compromise. All the same apply above. However, they advertise heavily, and in the sales department you're encouraged to be aggressive. Nothing illegal, but definitely not for those of us who aren't conditioned to it.

Hope that makes sense. I can expand more if needed.

I wonder what the criteria are for contenders in the Best Main Title Design category.
