    Discussion What really is first party nowadays? Definition of first/second/third party games.

    You are correct, but it's still 3rd party, no gray area. We have heard of Sony devs helping out other non-Sony devs in the past already, never was there anyone mentioning those games to be 1st party. Same as Microsoft devs going to help to make Baldurs Gate 3 work on their console.

    Playstation Sony says Astro Bot is contributing significantly to the widening of the PlayStation user base

    That's why I have to laugh at people trying to make any arguments with MAU. Each time I turn on my PC and my Steam client autostarts I count as an active user... yet I haven't bought or played a game on there for over 10 years.

    Playstation Sony says Astro Bot is contributing significantly to the widening of the PlayStation user base

    It's also a bit of an ingenuous value, as even a long-running Sony fan not into GaaS and superheroes would have skipped the only 3 (of which 1 discontinued shortly after launch) 1st party titles they launched in the 2 years they are counting.

    Discussion Sony boss admits forcing PC gamers into PlayStation accounts can "invite pushback," but insists they have to keep games safe

    Now? Maybe, although I think Steam would still refund if the request comes from a delisted country. Back then? Steam didn't even care if your country was delisted or not, it was sufficient to mention the PSN link.

    Correct Koei owns the rights. Also correct Wrong Wrong, or at least it's wrong now that Sony doesn't own thr IP anymore. Wrong, Sony doesn't own the IP. Wrong, Sony doesn't own the IP. Wrong, for a game to be first party, the platform holder needs to own the IP. Very simple, I bet you...

    If I buy the game today, I'm in one of the countries which supports PSN and can't use it as a reason for the refund 🤷🏻‍♂️...

    Why is it so hard to answer simple questions? Can Valve produce or publish Uncharted on Steam without talking to Sony, yes or no? Can Sony produce and publish Rise of the Ronin 2 without talking with Koei, yes or no? Can Kojima now produce and publish a Death Stranding sequel on Xbox (and...

    News [Hiroki Totoki] PS5 Pro's pre-orders are "slightly stronger" than PS4 Pro during the same period

    They don't even have to be all bangers. I already made you such a list in the past, go and look for it if you care. I don't. I'm talking about Sony, so yes, I care and I've always been consistent with this. Why? Will the police come at my house if I incorrectly count a non-1st party game...

    News Death Stranding IP will now be owned by Kojima Productions

    There is a difference between MLB and LEGO Horizon. The former is published by MLB, Horizon by PlayStation themselves. Why would PlayStation set up as publisher for Switch if they intended to do it for just one game? And the game is co-developed by Guerilla.

    Why not? Can Valve produce and publish Uncharted on Steam?

    They were already refunded when account-gate happened and the game was delisted in those countries. They could have enforced the PSN link since then, but they didn't, so I doubt they will in the future.
