Chaos Emeralds, Wumpa Fruit, and Pepsi?! Does Product Placement Belong in Gaming?

Game Podunker MonkJammas writes, "The gaming industry is huge, and is seemingly on a never-ending growth spurt. It is worth more than the movie industry, and is even managing to turn demographics that would not usually be considered as gamers into some of their most profitable customers. However, an industry’s work is never done, especially when it comes to profit margins. There is a vast oil field of untapped financial potential that the video game industry is yet to take full advantage of. The movie industry has been capitalising on it for years, sometimes subtly and sometimes far too blatantly. The goldmine that I am referring to is Product Placement..."

Sea of Thieves Welcomes 40 Million Players

Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"

Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.

would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.

Epic milestone!

After 6 years and 40 Million players, the people on N4G who called DOA on SoT must be feeling pretty stupid right now.

Especially considering that *right now* Sea of Thieves is leading Playstation Store´s pre-order charts ahead of the freaking Stellar Blade. O.o

Sea Of Thieves’ Release On PS5 Is Reportedly The Game Microsoft Is Closely Looking At Regarding Future Xbox Titles Coming To PlayStation https://www.psu.com/news/se...

Personally, I wouldn´t complain if Killer Instinct makes its way to the PS5 and Switch.

Sea Of Thieves seems to be doing well and if Grounded gets new players on PS then we can see more LS game from MS hitting PS. Including the State Of Decay games probably even the new one.

Pentiment did nothing on both Xbox and PS. Hi Fi didn't do anything through tbh I think most ppl who bought Hi Fi already have in Xbox and PC.

Zenimax is gearing up for a new game that'll be multiplatform.

LS and MMO types games seem to be the target for multiplatform release.

The game was trash at release. Microsoft didn't even deny it.

darthv721h ago

key words: "at release"... it isnt anymore. its quite robust.

Yes Darth, at release is exactly what I was responding about. The troll was suggested that everyone who trashed the game at the beginning was wrong. They weren't, it sucked.

Just like Skull and Bones is got hammered. Whether Ubisoft turns it around, it still is terrible now.

Good on Microsoft for sticking to it, but it should have been delayed. They have done shit for Redfall like they promised. Starfield has received no major updates that they promised would come in February.

I get what you are saying, however it no longer applies because the PS5 version "at release" is already a more complete experience. That is what people should be taking away. If you want... consider the time between releases on XB and PS as the delay you say it should have had. The game was delayed 6 years before release on PS5.

i think those who are open to it are in for a real treat.

I could literally not give a shit how many players it has or what console it’s on

It was bad at launch, plain terrible, a shallow barren unfinished feeling game and that’s how I’ll remember it because I want to be impressed you know, at launch.

No Man’s Sky and Fallout 76 are the same

It’s still not up there with Rare’s past work

I pre-order the premium edition for my PS5 today
