Pokémon Company and Nintendo… this better not be a $70 game key card and it’s just a smaller priced game if you are doing a GKC for a first party IP.

Absolutely horrible. We have a real reason for some of the things that have been happening, but it is still not a great thing.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

That is an INSANE PRICE HIKE. $10 price hike for Ultimate. Very glad I am out of the Xbox Game Pass mindset forever since that is absolutely ridiculous.

I agree completely on the Hazelight publishing deal.
If EA's new owners can sell off the Dead Space IP please, and Hazelight get a publishing deal elsewhere, that'd be great - then I can safely ignore EA forever.

Honestly, I just watched the State of Play from yesterday and well… I am not really impressed.
Saros is a day fucking 1, Wolverine is also a day 1, and the God of War controller was cool for a reveal.
Everything else… ehhh, looks kinda cool but definitely not for me.

That Nintendo Direct was absolutely amazing! Fire Emblem next year is great, new Mario Tennis, Mario Galaxy 2, Switch 2 editions of games, loads of new Pokemon things, Hades 2 release date, and much more in this direct. It really solidifies my Switch 2 purchase and so excited for more games coming.

I think I am seriously going to be spending more time on PS5 than Switch 2 than I thought with how many games are using game key cards.

Well, it is finally complete. Kingdom Hearts 2 is absolutely amazing and I always love playing it. I have been getting the Platinum trophies on all of the games recently and KH2 is complete. I am glad to be done with certain things I could never beat before, and I am proud of what I accomplished.

If it came with the DLC that’s one thing… but it is ridiculously cheaper elsewhere on an actual physical disc instead of it being a GKC. I’m sorry, but this is really why I buy games on PS5 unless it is a Switch (1/2) exclusive or is fully on the cartridge.

This is basically why I buy all my multiplatform stuff on PS5 now. If you want to actually own a true physical of a game, it seems like you're generally going to need to buy it there.
