10 Years Ago This Month: Microsoft learns a lesson about playing old games it would soon forget, and Activision doesn't see digital distribution as being a big thing in the next decade.
Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.
ESTNN writes: "A leak for Valve's 6v6 3rd-person shooter MOBA has supposedly been released ahead of time. And if the reports are true, fans of the genre have much to be excited for."
Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.
Limited Run Games believes that more companies will start selling a limited number of physical media in a decade.
Like a vocal minority demand?
On PS5 alone the digital sales made up 77% of all game sales in 2024.

Also, I despise f*ckin limited run games because they will extort people that want a physical version by marking up the prices almost 100% so they make more. So a game digitally that’s $30 you can expect it to be $60 on LRG and don’t even get me started on the collectors edition prices… it’s borderline highway robbery.
BC us awesome! Glad MS decided to give what many gamers wanted.
Man Sony fanboys just hate the fact Ms BC is better then Sony and it free lol
I like how this author talk about how Ms flip flopping on Bc but not mention anything about Sony flip flopping on PSnow was once one of their so call mega bomb at last year E3 and according to Sony now nobody care about Bc anymore.
Instead of letting me buy my old games again, please let me use my old already bought physical copies.
Goes for both MS & Sony.
I really don't enjoy Backwards Compatibility that much, but it's nice to have it anyway.
Even with PSNow, I fully expect PS5 to run PS4 games since the architecture will be the same this time.
On Xbox, it goes without saying with the UWP initiative, everything would run on everything that is Microsoft devices.
With a digital only future looming BC should become standard on consoles in the near future, hopefully.
