Underated factual correct comment

Well, thanks Push Square for the codes at least!

This entire story is not true.

Just look at how much money 2nd hand concords actually sold for

" Blu-ray discs PS5 games are printed on have the shortest life expectancy and are only estimated to last around 20 years under ideal conditions."

That doesn't sound right. Lets check the source....

So it's from a Gizmono piece where someone called "Ern Bieman"

And what's his background....

"digital preservationist"

Starting to smell a rat here!

I can't believeI got here first!

@sanderson72 Not sure why you hate the portal so much.

It's great.

@Ainu20 Fair play.

SAG already demanded Streaming Revenue Sharing from places liek Netflix:

On the SAG-AFTRA they want a sliding scale on "Indie" games, so depending on games sales, they demand more money "Captures runaway project success with secondary payments,":

But this big one which would boost VA's pay over artists and coders is the demand for residual pay, which is profit sharing.

https://www.vulture.com/article/sag-aftra-video-game-strike-authorization-explained.html

"In 2016, SAG-AFTRA went on strike against 11 major video-game studios after failing to reach an agreement over stagnating base pay, health and safety issues related to vocally strenuous performance roles, strict nondisclosure work contracts, and the lack of residual pay within the industry. "

"By the end of the 2016 video-game actors’ strike, many union members expressed discontent with the current agreement, saying the current contract still hosted lackluster health regulations and did not hold the competitive residual pay SAG-AFTRA initially fought for."

Some studios offer a bonus to staff for good opening sales, but not residual payments. VA's on residual on games like GTA would put them well above artist and coder pay levels.

Even games like Monster Hunter and Call Of Duty would do this.

@PerpetualBoredom SAG-AFTRA are corrupt though.

Like @ChrisDeku said, they hurt more VA's then they help, and exclude VA's from the work force.

@Ainu20 Sure.
Search "SAG-AFTRA want profit sharing on games"

@PerpetualBoredom

So you think VA's should be paid more than artists and coders?

Because that's what SAG-AFTRA are demanding.

I want to be on the side of VA's, but the union is demanding they get a bigger share of the profits than the artists and coders.

They better check their ego's quick otherwise their jobs will be gone forever.

@SuntannedDuck2 That's a lot of word to use just to say "No".

@sanderson72 can your PSP or Vita also play PS4/5 games?

News just in:
Rule 34 continues to be true.

@Steel76 Did you say that about Life of Brian?

This place is weirder than 4th of July at Rick James' place.

I actually feel bad for that person Harada had a go at.

I looked up "Nijisa channel" and they have been making Tekken videos for 8 straight years and have 10000's of views; and quite a few video centred actually on Anna and gameplay & combo tips.

What's worse is that I checked the guys social feed, and all the "examples" Harada gave is just him gas lighting. This "Nijisa channel" person never said any of those things.

This to me just seems like Harada just let rip into a genuine fan of the character and made baseless attacks on them.

I just take it as given that all Xbox games are coming to PlayStation.

I think more people online claim to have a Steamdeck than actually have one

No thank you.
As someone who remebers when it was on TV; it was cringe even back then.

Yeah, Sony is going to win this.

@Bigmanfan
"Not their fault for going where the market is."

Utter boot licking rubbish.

Their job is not cheerleading, it's to inform. And they spend way too much time informing people about the biggest AAA games.

What changed was the gaming media.

You are driven by clicks and likes and not by quality and fun.

Your desire to push stories based on engagment breed a userbase that simply doesn't care about the AA space.

The gaming media is not solely to blame though, engagment farmers on social media also helped drive this.

I liked it, great advert and hopefully Sony Japan will do more like this
