Yeah, it's quite sad.
Still deciding what to do.
@VectorTwoSix did you find a store in Europe that has stock?

Steelbooks sadly got lost. I'm headed to Europe next week so I'll just pick it up there.

I really feel bad for @Tea and the rest of Nexus staff. Can't think that delays are nice for them. Especially the great lengths NexusHub goes to, to get these physical releases for us.

I'm just grateful that NexusHub manages to get hold of these niche titles that I love so much. We'd be screwed otherwise

Just saw the news about Control Resonant - really sad, but that's the state of SA shipping I guess.

What does this alternate version look like exactly?

Sony's decisions has slowly eroded my faith in the company but there's not much recourse given the state of tech these days. I'm likely riding the PS5 gen into the sunset because PC parts keep going up and up and the PS6 is definitely going to have a disgusting price tag. So I'm mostly just enjoying games where I can. I'm not buying GTA6 but I did buy Phantom Blade and I'll likely double dip for the physical.

Not to say people shouldn't vote with their wallets, because that's ultimately what everyone should do. But at this point in time, I'm more worried about AI. I don't think I can even care about Sony lol

@Haseo

I think Sony is going to get a reality check. They know that physical stills sells very well outside of America the Land of the Fat.

Putting all their eggs in 1 basket with the American market is going to blow up in their faces. I have quite the choice words on how I feel about Sony.

But I am sure @Tea will have a heart attack reading what I would post on the chatbox. But Sony has lost my business forever.

But we'll see what the NO PHYSICAL NO BUY guys do when GTA6 release day comes. I bet most of them will be the hypocrites they are and buy it.

@KnightFall500

What I can tell you is that Hellraiser Revival became on of my favourite games so far I've played this year. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. I liked it so much that I replayed it straight after finishing it.

Nintendo is Suing Popular Switch Emulator Yuzu

by Sam Aberdeen on 28 February, 2024

Nintendo of America has filed a lawsuit against the popular Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu, seeking damages and a total shutdown of the software. Nintendo argues that Yuzu allows users to play pirated Switch games on Windows, Linux or Android systems, using The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as an example of a game that was apparently downloaded over a million times before its official release.

As spotted by Game File’s Stephen Totilo, Nintendo says that the “defendant and its agents are fully aware of the use of Yuzu by others in performing circumvention, and in facilitating piracy at a colossal scale.” While users are able to port their iso files over to Yuzu from a legally purchased cartridge, Nintendo says that most use it for pirated Switch games that are downloaded illegally. Users aren’t able to directly download games from Yuzu per se, but Nintendo argues that the software facilitates piracy regardless.

Nintendo writes in its lawsuit:

“With Yuzu in hand, nothing stops a user from obtaining and playing unlawful copies of virtually any game made for the Nintendo Switch, all without paying a dime to Nintendo or to any of the hundreds of other game developers and publishers making and selling games for the Nintendo Switch. In effect, Yuzu turns general computing devices into tools for massive intellectual property infringement of Nintendo and others’ copyrighted works.”

Nintendo says that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was downloaded over one million times a week and a half before its release. Despite this, the game still managed to sell over 20 million copies in 2023, making it the second best-selling game of last year behind Hogwarts Legacy.

Nintendo is no stranger to dishing out lawsuits. Just this year, The Pokemon Company released a statement indirectly referencing Palworld, stating “we have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game.” The company says it intends to “investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon.” Nothing has come of that yet.

Ah, publishers still pushing the piracy = lost sales fallacy. Given all the major console manufacturers' half-arsed approach to preservation, I'm all for pirates if it means future generations can still access old games.
