Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"

Fans despair as Blizzard charges "almost half the price of the game" for class-specific portal colors

www.gamesradar.com

Remember when simple recolors used to be free and standard with the base game? Really miss those days

Blizzard has always overpriced their cosmetics because they are a fucking joke of a company and should be burned to the ground.

Speaking of Sony and Playstation:

So far, I think the strategy of releasing exclusives first on PS5, and then on PC a few months/years later is a great one.

Now where's my Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima port?

I had expected the article to actually post the official statement made by MotionTwin, considering. What exactly happened here?

It seems they had a previous article about the statement, which the guy must've stumbled across either through twitter, entertainment news outlets or neurotic daily googling of the game's situation. The publisher apparently did announce earlier in year it was maintaining support till 2025 with stuff, which so far is only confirmed detail am aware of that could make sense of their sudden emotionally charged reaction. Time will tell, I spose.

Embracer cancelled 29 unannounced games between July and December | VGC

Restructuring plans have also seen seven internal studios closed…

www.videogameschronicle.com

I'd like to imagine these gameswere one of those live-service games that Embracer figured won't go anywhere.

Sucks about job cuts, though. They seriously couldn't find positions for all these people within the company?

Good on HD2 devs for sticking with their guns, although posts like the ones they responded to seem like rage baits these days.

Or these morons are that much of a pvp-obsessed no-lives.

From everything I've seen, there's already a PvP mode- just let a teammate botch a throw trying to call in an orbital strike.

Good News. Now everyone can hate Tekken too.

Scummy nonsense strikes again!

Scummy nonsense strikes again!

That explains the lack of character costume customization options compared to Tekken 7 and Tekken Tag 2. People and me included, has still been able to make creative costumes for characters, despite the limited options. I'll still be playing Tekken 8, but Namco can go to hell on this.

Didn’t they learn anything from GT7? Oh wait no, because all these pubs apparently seem to live in a bubble.

Star Wars Mandalorian Video Game Reportedly in the Works at Respawn - IGN

Star Wars Jedi and Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment is reportedly working on a first-person Mandalorian video game.

Ooh boy, I am cautiously optimistic if this is true; On one hand, it could be a great TPS experience with fun bounty hunt mechanics. On the other hand, EA has plenty of hit or miss, Jedi Survivor having that atrocious launch

Didn't they cancel a star wars game where youd play as a bounty hunter not too long ago?
