An excerpt from GameTyrant's article: "The Digitization Of Sierra Classics Initiative (TDOSCI) is a movement aimed at ActiVision Blizzard (who own Sierra and their catalog). Its creator believes that a large portion of Sierra's games aren't available digitally on GOG.com, a digital distribution platform service primarily focused on bringing DRM-free classic and indie games to consumers for affordable prices and are only obtainable for anything up to three-figure amounts via sites such as eBay, something which they believe is too expensive for non-collectors."
The PlayStation Mid-Year Deals promotion has a bunch of games worth checking out that are priced at $4.99 or below.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be a success the world over, however, one nation which is particularly keen on the Nintendo’s latest platform is naturally Japan. Recent sales data has shown that…
N4G feels more like a Sony PR newsletter with a comment section. Sony fanboys have taken over this website.
@operation
Yet the biggest idiots on the site are the Xbox zealots, like the alt spamming articles daily with his endless accounts lol.
@operation
We've always been here. Your complaint days back over a decade. There was no "taking over."
@Operation1223
It's been Ike this for a decade. Where have you been. If you say anything remotely anti-Sony, you will be flooded with dislikes. Regardless of how true your comment is. Sony's honor must be protected at all cost. Asking for trouble with this one but, the mods are fanboys too.
That's part of the reason the site is the way it is.
Nintendo dominates the handheld/hybrid market and Playstation dominates the high end market. There is no fight for 2nd. Xbox is just stumbling around until they leave the console market entirely to merge with Windows.
There’s only one market - console gaming. And Nintendo are dominating Xbox and PlayStation
@Avfe63, how many ps5 are out there compared to switch 2s? Lol. Just go play your kiddy Nintendo games, you're not part of the conversation. You Nintendo fans are the worst, you want so bad to get into this console war stuff but all you have is vague grandiose claims of sales. Just stay out of it, enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world, Pokémon and donkey kong on you last last gen "new" hardware. Lol
How many PS4 or 5 are out there compared to Switch 1?
Switch 2 just released, but it already shattered all records PS set (which was PS4. Not 5)
“enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world”
Ironic for a fanbase who buys TLOU and Horizon remasters constantly 😂
Ignore the alt, he's just holding up a Nintendo shield to deflect from 2 disastrous gens in a row for Xbox.
The real question is will Swotch 2 outdo the lifetime sales. I’m not so sure about that and the third-party game sales appear to be abysmal. That’s not a fantastic sign of things to come. Time will tell though.
yeah nothing is gonna dethrone nintendo in japan, especially if there's a handheld involved.
It also broke the previous records set by PS4 in the west
So it’s not just Japan. Its global.
A lot of that has to do with availability of consoles. You couldn’t find a launch PS4 after the first 3 days for a while. PS5 even more so.
I’m not saying this to take anything away from Nintendo, I’m only saying they came with more consoles to start. If there were 1.5M PS4s in North America at launch they likely would have all been sold immediately. So the launch record is a bit skewed there.
I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.
Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.
Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.
Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.
If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
I used to have a box of old Sierra games but I got rid of them when I moved. I wish I would've done some research, I could've made some money.
It is sad how many great Adventure games were out in the past and very few. I remember the rivalry between LucasArts and Sierra, yet now both companies don't exist. I feel like there is a goldmine if Activision and Disney could bring the old classics out on consoles, plus PC again. A better idea would be a remake, but I doubt that'd happen.
This guy has the hilarious misconception that Activision even remotely cares about "preservation" or "making things affordable".
Need to get your head out of your a** bud. Sadly, this will go absolutely nowhere.
