Yeah, nah, fuck that. They expect me to believe that if Blitzchung had come out and said, I dunno, "trans rights now!" or something that they would have penalized him the same? I don't believe that for one minute. Suspending the casters is still a cowardly move when I'm pretty sure they had no idea what the dude was about to say. For god's sake they ducked under the table after he said it. Let's not forget the bootlicking apology their Chinese branch made and the fact that an American team recently did the same thing Blitzchung did and yet they were curiously not punished by Blizzard at all.

 

Oh, and now this is rich. From the looks of it that apology post saying that the decision had nothing to do with China was posted from China.

Yeah, it definitely made my opinion of them worse. Especially the claim it had nothing to do with China's disapproval. Like, come on, really? Don't lie to me you asshats.

 

I am glad he at least gets the money, but that does not in any way make up for the rest of it.

Now the big question is if EGS will poach Death Stranding. STAY TUNED!

 

Guess not! Pre-purchase is up on Steam.

 

Also up on EGS, which is weird because I could swear I remember them telling some indie dev that they couldn't add just any games to the EGS due to their process being long and complicated and that it wasn't worth it unless a game is exclusive. Funny how their process isn't an issue when it's a big game release they don't wanna miss out on...

No but the fact that they went up simultaneously tells me this probably won't happen. They've gotten so much shit for it at this point that I think most pubs and devs should know not to have pre-orders active if they have any interest in taking an exclusivity deal. Plus, they had to have talked before today for the store page to go live at the same time and you know Epic has to have tried already. I imagine either 505 are confident the game will sell enough to not need a deal or Kojima just wasn't having any of it because he's BFF with Gabe.

Seriously, how can one man have so many BFFs?!?

 

edit: Just noticed they actually confirmed it's a simultaneous launch. I guess that rules out even a pathetic 1 month deal like RDR2 lol.

With confirmation of no EGS exclusive... I got MGSV with my 980ti so I guess I should get a GPU that comes bundled with Death Stranding. The jury is still out if I will like Death Stranding but it'll be a good excuse for an upgrade. It's not like I'm in good standings with MGSV either. Time to go researching again. It'll be almost five years so good enough... and the 980ti is still no slacker.

 

And in 2021 is probably the start for a search for a newer CPU... and everything that goes with it. Or not. I think it's more crucial I look for a complete HDD reboot but I think at this point SDDs have more than proven themselves.

Oh man, that's a good point. If it gets bundled, I could totally use that as an excuse to upgrade to a 1660 or something. They're already pretty cheap and it's basically an 80 bucks discount on top of that.

 

And yeah, I always assumed people were exaggerating about SSDs. Then I got one and holy shit, it's night and day. I used to put off restarting my system after any kind of update because it took like 5mins to shut down and boot back up. Now it's basically instantaneous and what I do find to be excessively long now is waiting for my old HDD to start spinning and load up the video file I wanna watch.

Tonight I decided that I'd activate that PS Now free trial and finally play Uncharted 4. Things went pretty smoothly for about 20mins until:

 

game: "Press touchpad to open note"
me:     *looks at Xbox One controller*

            *tries every button just in case*

            ".........fuck"

 

So yeah, great job Sony! Really glad you put so much thought into having your streaming service available on PC! I'll assume God of War and Bloodborne are equally fucked.

 

To those that played Persona 5, does it require the touchpad in any way? I was gonna wait but if it's my only option then I might as well play it now, at least until I can ask my friend to borrow his ds4 or something...

You use the touchpad to activate the online system that shows you what other people spent that day doing, but it's not critical to the game (unless there's a tutorial that requires you to do it, I can't remember for sure).

 

*Edit - Looks like the game asks you if you want to activate Thieves' Guild, and you can say no, so I would think saying no would prevent any mandatory tutorial from appearing too.

You're talking about the PC version, I assume? No idea for console but on PC I'm pretty sure even the base game comes with a key that's likely already been used and tied to a battle.net account. IIRC it came out before the battle.net launcher existed and you just typed in your key while installing but I'm not sure if you can still do that. So unless he hasn't played it since launch, the key is likely worthless now. Should probably ask to test it out first, just in case.
