Fortnite Ad Insults Bungie and Destiny 2

Sometimes gaming companies love to poke fun at the failures of their competitors. Like how Sonic The Hedgehog disrespected Mighty No. 9 (Even though it later backfired thanks to Sonic Forces). There’s also how Starcraft itself took a jab at Electronic Arts after the controversy surrounding SW: Battlefront 2.
However, I think we have a reached a point where Fortnite took the gloves off and jabbed Destiny 2. The two biggest shooter games of 2017 are duking it out for popularity, after all. And Epic Games shows they are going to take advantage of the current situation that Destiny 2 is facing.
As seen in the image below provided by GameRant, this Fortnite ad is placed directly at the top of Destiny 2‘s official subreddit. The ad promotes the battle royale title as being one that has “a dev team that talks to you.”
For those unaware, this is a direct shot at Bungie’s lack of transparency with the Destiny 2 community following a litany of controversies that have cropped up since the launch of the first-person shooter
So, let’s go down the list, the fact that Shaders became tied to microtransactions. The laughable free trial which has been panned by the players. Of course, we can’t forget about the backlash made after this year’s Winter Event that favors people who pay up microtransactions.
With all of this into account. Fortnite pretty much stepped in and started to take their chances to hog some attention their way. Of course, the idea of an open communication between devs and players is way too attractive for anyone to pass down.
Of course, Fortnite has made several updates to keep their consumers happy. It’s a respectable effort and between the two, I would play Fortnite any day. I guess Bungie and Activision Blizzard will have to step up their game. Oh, wait, they are, by trying to be as intrusive to other users as possible.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant. Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.
The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.
Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”
This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.
What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?
It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”
It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.
Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades? Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered. It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.
We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.
Your thoughts on Pizza Possum? Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
