Please elaborate or give examples. “There are thousand other games like Returnal” is one of the most ignorant gaming takes I heard in 2025 and today is 31st December. Argue about difficulty but up to this point Returnal is among the most unique games this console generation.

It is. Sony is a multibillion dollar corporation. They obviously have enough resources to continue disc manufacturing. But let's not pretend it isn't elaborate to produce polycarbonate discs, seal, wrap, pack them and move them punctually via ship or plane to local distribution.

Jeff Gerstmann claps back on the idea that Xbox might respond to PlayStation by supporting physical media: “Microsoft has the chance to do the funniest thing ever? No, they don't. They don't have the people, they don't have the charisma, they are so fucked over there right now.”

I remember when tons of very early GTA VI pre-Alpha gameplay footage leaked and some people seriously had the nerves to slam its graphics. Ignorant fools.

Destin Legarie wants to know why Xbox faces far more criticism when they lay off 20% of their employees compared to PlayStation, which didn't lay off 20% of their employees. Classic whataboutism fallacy.

Jeff Gerstmann responds to Game Pass: “They trained the Xbox audience to not buy videogames [...] Everyone gave Sony nonstop shit, the entire time, for not putting new games into their subscription service. Everyone called them clowns, myself included. But who's laughing now?”

I'm not sure why people keep repeating this misinformation. Free-to-play titles, DLC add-ons and microstransactions are NOT part of PlayStation's “digital games” revenue bracket.

The last time David Jaffe (creator) & Cory Barlog (then director) publicly agreed on God Of War's path was in early 2006, more than 20 years ago. Since Cory's reboot turned GOW into a billion dollar franchise David became the most prominent opponent of the new creative vision.

Me calling you (a games media veteran) out for not understanding the difference between revenue and profit, is not “hating”. You interviewed Phil Spencer on several occasions, asked softball questions and now you act suprised when the math isn't mathing.
