Have they mentioned whether or not South of Midnight will get a physical release?

Phil deeply cares for Japanese games, all his decisions have absolutely shown that.

Given this is basically a collectors edition without the game and its only $40, I bet it wont get physical unless they partner with LRG again.

I’m likely never going to buy this game as I don’t save enough points to get it down to $40 when on sale.

Interesting! I remember they tried this before, way back.

And the developers despite being feted as “for the gamers” never do more than 20% discount on sale, and won’t allow key resellers like CDKeys to stock it - so yeah Reward points are likely the only option for getting an actual deal on it

Yep, I believe Oracle won the bid against MS last time.

Assuming this is true it sounds more like a joint venture between both Oracle & MS this time around.

I don’t think I have ever used TikTok so I have no interest from that angle, however I am interested from the perspective of how this impacts Chinese tech giants.

The original TikTok ban (from Trump) included Tencent due to their WeChat service and their dislike for Tencent has boiled up again recently.

For those that played MLB The Show through Game Pass, looks like that deal is over as they stated on the PlayStation Blog that the game isn’t coming to any subscription service in 2025. I can see why Microsoft didn’t shell out whatever amount it would’ve took to keep the deal going with all the content they have for this year.

Not only it might likely be the lowest player count in a while, but perhaps sales as well. It’s only for current gen with Switch for some reason. I don’t know but don’t be surprised with lower activity.

Oh yeah without GP or last gen it’s definitely not going to have the same reach as last years game.

I don’t blame him. Legitimately carrying PS live service masterplan.
