Age of Mythology and Age of Empires.
Age of Mythology: Retold is set to launch on March 4 for PS5 starting at $29.99. A Premium Edition is also available for $49.99 which gives purchasers 5-day early access, access to the Immortal Pillars expansion, a second expansion, and more.
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition will premier on PS5 this spring.
It’s unclear why the current feature needs to be pulled and then brought back,
Sony never said they’ll be back for free…
Not really a surprise when data indicates the PS5 is outselling the Xbox Series by more than double, and I believe is also available in more countries.
Reddit doesn’t have much of a choice than to fight this. If they roll over and give out the data every other studio will want the same treatment. Which likely would also involve the Authors Guild and RIAA as well wanting info on posts.
They would certainly like to maintain the posters and the data they bring by blocking this, but if push comes to shove, the posters are going to get hosed to save the stock.

So some of the plates do have that function built in and you have to pay monthly to use it.
700 for the console, 80 for the Disc drive, and who knows what for the vertical stand on top of that. You are looking at probably 800 USD before any sales tax to get it all. Then you have to pay another 80-160 a year for a PS+ level, it just feels greedy.
The AI upscaling had best be top notch if they want these things to sell, because I’m not seeing a lot of reasons to upgrade from the base model here.
It doesn’t even have a frelling disc drive, get out of here.
I hope this means they will start rethinking that plan to launch a bunch of “Live Service” games by 2026. Of course they could come out with something unique, just Concord wasn’t unique and was just another drop in the bucket of a dozen similar games, many of which are free to play unlike Concord.
Customers who purchased a physical copy not directly from PlayStation will have to refer to that store’s refund process.
Oof, that’s rough because some stores have horrible return policies, with most not taking returns after a game is opened.
Before hitting submit I googled to make sure I remembered right on them wanting 10-12 live service games by 2026, turns out Sony already cut that to 6, but could still do up to 12 depending on how things went. Based on today’s news I’m guessing they’ll stick to 6 here.
The price increases were very high, I imagine a lot of people balked at 135 bucks for Extra, and 150 for Premium. I downgraded to a three month essential plan when the price increase went into effect and am seriously considering dropping Plus completely when it runs out in a couple of weeks, I love single player games and enjoy games like GTA Online and RDR Online, but 80 bucks a year is kind of steep for online play when I never know if I can play or not until I get home.
And yes I know those increases are close to a year old now, but subscriptions are just now running out for some people.
I still burn CDs… my ancient vehicle has a multi-disc changer and doesn’t require my phone to be on, so I like having the best quality I can get before I do the burning.
I bought it, but I only have about 9 hours into it so I’m no expert on it, still getting used to it really, part of that “play time” is idle as I do other things while it’s in the background.

EWR is still my favorite booking sim. TEW is just too much, but ProWrestling Sim on Steam is showing some promise I think.
I’ve read some comments on other articles about this saying that by using cash and avoiding the loyalty card they won’t have the data that shows how often you buy certain products and if you buy them at regular price or only during sales. I don’t know if that’s true, but it does seem somewhat logical to me that the AI is going to use your past purchases against you, they already use that same idea to send me paper coupons once a month based on stuff I usually buy.
