Sony's Jim Ryan Reportedly Said His Goal is to 'Block Your Merger' in Closed Door Meeting with Activision

The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment reportedly had some choice words during a meeting with Activision.

It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.

First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....
 

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...
 

All Steam Fest and Steam Sale Dates for 2023

Valve shared their 2023 schedule of events with developers.

The entire schedule of big seasonal sales and themed Steam Fest events was shared yesterday by Valve. Now you'll know months in advance just how badly your bank accounts are going to hurt.

The mod utilizes a variation of the Xash3D FWGS engine along with a custom path traced renderer. So while this is technically...

We briefly introduced the new Specialist, Camila Blasco, in a post that went up just yesterday. We know that she is an "ambush expert" that excels...

    Sony to Retire Unused PlayStation 5 Feature that Encouraged Positivity

    That headline almost reads as satire.

    Sony says that they will soon retire a PlayStation 5 launch feature that has gone largely unused. The system's Accolades feature will be killed off in Fall 2022 because there just hasn't been that many people making use of it.

    The statement by Sony, relayed by TheSixthAxis, says that since launch, the Accolades feature is one of the least used features on the platform. Accolades were a way of encouraging players to share a more positive...

    Blizzard to Potentially Sell Overwatch Skins for $45

    So long loot boxes, hello overpriced microtransactions.

    When Overwatch 2 launches later this year, the loot boxes we have all come to know and hate will be no more. Replacing the RNG-filled boxes will be seasonal Battle Passes and apparently some optional cosmetic microtransactions that will allow you to, presumably, buy the skins you want without delay.

    This all sounds super great, until you hear that Blizzard recently sent out a survey that seems to suggest they are...

    Temporary staff can be incredibly valuable, but only if you are actually prepared to take them in. How do you prepare for temporary workers, and what steps are necessary...

    Nier: Automata's Mystery Door was an Elaborate Ruse

    It started with a door and ended in a way very few people expected.

    Recently, a Reddit user known as sadfutago posted a video on Reddit that showed a door, a hallway, and a location that no other Nier: Automata player had ever seen before. It sent the community into a frenzy. How did that door appear? What is the meaning behind the church location behind the door?

    In June, sadfutago posted a simple thread asking the community for some help in opening a mysterious door...

Starting September 1, game banner art (referred by Valve as "Capsules") can no longer include things like review scores, accolades, current sale discounts, and more.

    The new system will let players report chat messages in multiplayer games, even in private servers.

    A new user reporting system was just added to a pre-release build of Minecraft that has large swaths of the community crying foul. As part of this week's 1.19.1 update to Minecraft, this new reporting system allows players both on private, self-hosted servers and Mojang-hosted servers to flag inappropriate chat messages. These messages will then, allegedly, be reviewed by Mojang and...

    Steam Client Update for July 27, 2022

    Haven't had one of these bad boys in a while.

    Remember when Steam was still in its infancy and every update was a relatively major news event? Those have largely gone by the wayside these days as Steam updates are a dime a dozen and outside of a new feature here or there, there really isn't much to write about when a new update lands.

    Today's update is no different. Frankly, I'm just writing about this new update because I happened to see that it was just released, and...

    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
