  • This is the core issue of console gaming tho. You can’t actually upgrade. You just straight up buy a new console. This wasn’t that big of a deal during the PS4 gen because the PS4 pro wasn’t that expensive. But at the current price points a different strategy is needed.

    Honestly I think if Sony made a program like “mail us your old PS5 and like $200 to get a PS5 Pro” the console would’ve done better. It wouldn’t address the “why do we need this?” part (especially considering we’re hearing reports of GTA6 running at 30 FPS on the Pro) but it would’ve done some good for customer goodwill.









  • I own all of these games already so I can tell you this is a good bundle. Any single one of these games is worth the full price of the bundle alone.

    The 3 Zachtronics games included are a great sampler of of the studio and I like that this isn’t just a “All Zachtronics games bundle”.

    There are better programming games out there but I think this bundle strikes a good balance between fun games that require light programming knowledge and wow this is just programming lightly disguised as a game.










  • I really struggled to find a GOTY nominee, and I even ended up going thru the SteamDB release calendar. While there have been quite a lot of good games released this year, there wasn’t really any one game that stood out above the rest. And weirdly I think that’s a good thing this year. I would much rather have 10 games that are so good that I can’t say any any one of them deserves GOTY over the other, than to have one clear winner and nine meh games. (I ended up nominating Selaco btw)
