    What a typo. But they’ll change their tune as soon as one line crosses another line. I’m willing to pay $70 or $80 for the right game, but my willingness to part with that much money drops precipitously as soon as you make me wade through spoiler-filled GOTY season without having access to the game. When you port the game to PC a year late, I’m probably content to keep waiting for half price.

      This is my own approach, to a T. If you make me wait, I’ve lost interest. There are so many amazing games out there, many from more deserving indie studios, that the competition for my attention and money is fierce. This goes for delayed releases and releases that launch with malware like Denuvo. It’s very unlikely that I will ever touch either, even at a steep discount.

    One hell of a title there, lol. Have to read the article to understand that one I guess. 🤪

      Still doesn’t hold a candle to the “SlayPtation” typo.

    I’ll never understand the hate for doing this. To me, it makes perfect sense as to why you would not release the game on PC at the same time. If you don’t have people buying your system, then you’re done. Xbox is going through this now. It seems almost guaranteed they give up on developing systems and pivot exclusively to PC someday. I’ll be shocked if that handheld system they are about to release takes off.

    Keep the exclusives and timed releases. If I really want to play it, I’ll buy the system or wait, it’s not a big deal.
