0: 27 Well, allow me to disagree here, Falcon. I admit that the gameplay in Super Punch-Out was tight, but ngl, the characters felt like a mess. Clowns? Staff wielding old men? Kung-Fu fighters throwing kicks? I mean, sure, we had characters like King Hippo and Great Tiger in Punch-Out with their weird (or downright unreal) gimmicks, but they were still boxing. The roster in SPO is such a shitfest that they feel like they came out of a Looney Tunes episode.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but I feel like they took waaaay too many liberties when creating the characters in SPO if compared to PO. But hey, that's just my opinion. I'm glad that game receives so much love even today. I just don't think it was THAT much of an improvement. PO was already extraordinary for its time.

About the PS lawsuit, the lawyers that wrote that up really screwed up by poorly wording it, and focusing, in my opinion, on the wrong thing:
Xbox and Nintendo both allow digital codes redeemable for digital games to be sold through other retailers like GameStop, Best Buy and etc. Those retailers can and do offer discounts different than any console's online store.
The affect this has on the market is that Sony can charge anything they want for their digital games specifically. Anyone that owns a Digital PS5 has literally zero choice but to pay what Sony demands.
The issue isn't the cut Sony is taking from digital games, it's that Sony has a price monopoly on digital Playstation games, forcing their Discless PS5 customers to pay what they demand.

Honestly the 30% cut bit threw me off a little as a developer. So what if it's a developer problem? It's a problem, nonetheless. Now of course everyone is entitled to their oppinion, but some devs/indie devs really go through hell to reach a release phase, 30% per head is really a lot taking into account the huge net an online game store casts.
So. Yeah, no. It's not all about consumers. It could be less than 30% in all objectivity. If the market doesn't stay liveable for producers, you'll only see money-machine-games which these oh-so-important consumers rant about every day anyway: D

i actully like overwatches loot boxes. I prefer to buy my skins outright but overwatch went a step further and allowed me to get coins through lootboxes somthin i been lucky at getting. When 2 2 2 came out i hated it but then they basically turned me into a merc and paid me ingame currancy to play tank and support mostly tank. And let me tell you nobody can say shit to you as a merc cuz ur just doing for the money. i dont need to play good you should have picked tank if u dident want me. I got so many skins just playing tank, doing a decent job and then calling it a day.

Steam, Playstation, Everything But the House. 30% is too much. That typed, before one agrees to sell a product on any particular platform, you're very much aware of what's transpiring and have to agree to the terms.
What really should happen in the states (if not globally, although I think this is a states issue, is that people who enter frivolous lawsuits should be fined and it should go on their record. Just as judges who allow them should be fined, it should go on their record and, potentially, they should have their seat removed.

Lol if you think the Sony lawsuit won t go through because it just sounds ridiculous or whatever, remember this lawsuit, McDonald s hot coffee lawsuit. Where someone won because the coffee burned their genitals even though they made the choice to put a liquid between their legs in the first place. McDonald s only lost because it was common practice nationwide to basically serve the coffee 18-30degrees above the normal serving temp. So yeah ridiculous suits are the ones that actually win out more often than not.

Difference between ps store and steam in my opinion is that steam usually lower their prices as games get old. I know lunch titles for the ps4 that wasn t very popular that is still 60 and one reason it wasn t popular was the price to game ratio. I have a ps4 because good PCs are expensive and I never buy of the ps4 store just because except for a few sales all good games are 60 new or old

The Playstation Lawsuit is explained horribly. It s a lawsuit because the only place you can buy games digitally on ps4/5 from is playstation which allows them to charge whatever they want, take a 30% cut, and face no repercussions because they re are no rival markets. Steam takes 30% but you can choose to buy off Epic or another launcher that may have better deals it s not monopolized.

The issue with the Play Station rip-off is that if a game was 60 US, as an example, then in the UK they would charge 60 Pounds Sterling, instead of the equivalent of the US value. This meant that Play Station was making additional profit above the 30% fee. (At least from my understanding of the bits and pieces I've managed to put together)

The 30% cut, is why you're seeing huge delays in games, or games being released broken. Bad on game developers for failing to read legal agreements, good on this consumer for saying you're causing some of these issues, and I don't want it.
Granted publishers make lots of money, why are they selling off like hot cakes?

Gamers arent winning by overwatch removing lootboxes. Overwatch lootboxes were the most generous ones out there as you can get basically everything for free. By transferring to the Free to Play model, they can start applying predatory tactics that is used by Free to Play games(which is much more effective in making cash)

There s hundreds of guns smaller than a squirrel, squirrels are not that small when you put a Glock next to it or any 9mm pistol. Then you have many smaller guns than pistols. So yeah I don t get how you think every gun is bigger than a squirrel. Lol do you even go outside? Have you ever seen a squirrel in real life?

There was a modder who was banned for creating a mod that replaced the pride flags with red white and blue flags in spider man. I found it odd the modding community lashed out at them for modding a game as it wasn't offensive it was just a small change like reskinning a character or map and its an optional mod.

A year after Overwatch 2 launches, paid loot boxes come back and you have to get the Overwatch 2's version of your original stuff to use those stuff. If you don't get those items within 3 months, they are lost forever.
I can totally see this happening. I'm willing to bet money on this happening.
