Sony Reportedly Shuts Down Fan-made The Last of Us Part II Multiplayer Mod

Sony apparently sent the modder a letter to stop the mod from being released. Feels kind of bad. But then again, it's Sony's IP. I wish they hadn't canceled the original multiplayer game that they were making at Naughty Dog.

How is the update holding up for everyone? I'm hearing mixed feedback so far. I just don't get it. Every single game made in Unreal Engine 5 always stutters. No matter the developer.

Sony Says True Ownership of Digital Games Is Not Plausible

This was Sony's response when they got hit with a lawsuit regarding digital ownership. At this point, I'm certain they don't really care that much. And what really went on with the boycott movement? Is anyone actually boycotting?

Sony CEO Says PS5 Sales Are No Longer the Priority as PlayStation Focuses on Monetizing 125M Users

No wonder they aren't pushing hard for next-gen consoles. The existing user base is their main moneymaking machine. And with the memory prices going up, I think Sony would be more than happy to just monetize their current player base.

Apex Legends Reportedly Testing Slow Effects That Scale With Movement Speed

NGL, this might actually tone down the fast movement meta. But this could also backfire very easily, as getting punished for choosing fast characters like Axle or Octane could take away the fun factor. Still, I wanna see how they implement this.

ARC Raiders Frozen Trail Brings Outposts, New Weapons, Gadgets, and Mysterious Signal

This is the update that will bring back players. To me, it almost feels like they were saving everything to release it all at once with the next big update. And you know what? I actually like this approach. Instead of smaller updates, I actually prefer big updates like these. Thoughts?

Respawn Says Movement Is Still Core to Apex Legends as Mobility Balance Changes Continue

Hey, day one player here. Have you guys noticed how fast the current meta feels? Not complaining since I always hated the original Wraith, Pathfinder, and Wattson combo back in the day. Back in those days, only a few legends were truly useful. All other legends were so underpowered. And the current speed meta doesn't really bother me at all. I actually kinda prefer Apex this way. I just hope Respawn doesn't nerf the movement too much, as it might affect the "movement shooter" moniker that made Apex into what it is today.
