Being a long time gamer I have participated in many console runs. Going on 30 years of gaming I can tell you that most companies take your money and not even consider you as an asset to their success.
I been a Sony Loyalist since they came out with the PSone. Many hours lost on Tobal#2. I had signed up for the Playstation Underground. After I noticed receiving a few shirts and demos I bought my brothers a PSone and registered their hardware to my account. More freebies kept coming in.
Ps2 launched and the internet is finally accessible in most homes and the PSU is now an online thing. I register all our PS2's (5 at the time) and the more I added the more they would send me. Indeed this is awesome; was my thoughts when I opened a Sly raccoon statue!
For a while Sony seemed to be the only one to do this (as I was unaware of Club Nintendo) and after winning clan tourneys for SONY the gear got better, Hats, more shirts, game beta tests, and all kinds of promotional gems.
I later bought a Wii waiting for the PS3 launch and noticed this thing called "Club Nintendo" and for every game I buy and or take a survey on, I get coins and can buy little neat odds and ends.
I cant help but to be overly happy at these meaningless trinkets and perks for taking a part in their success. Sure it might be monkey scratch when looking at the value. I just think even saying Thanks is a good way to let people know that they are appreciated... despite any hangups

They really put a lot of effort into making this a full on proper remake/remaster. So much more little details that one would have missed when playing the original GC version.

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.
But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?
Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.
Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...
I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey
Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.
Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.
Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
Steam thanks me, I got 3 free games for just getting achievements this week. Portal 1, 123 kick it and costume quest :D
Yes, uncharted series is enough of a thanks for me.
Allow me to bring up the elephant in the room:
What does MS do for 360 owners?
(It's not a snarky question; I really don't know.)
Wasn't Sony contemplating rewarding PS3 users on a rewards program? I have a feeling that was the case but that it was later axed.
Ah yes, found a link: http://blog.us.playstation....
More digital items or trips across the world than novelty items there.
Club Nintendo was great for me - I must have gotten at least 5,000 wii points from it.
As for Microsoft.. I think they have yet to launch some kind of similar program. Do let me know if they do though.
STEAM has reward me as a gamer. Free games, free cloud saves, and amazing deals :-). I just bought batman arkham city for twenty five dollars.........
