Well, where to begin. First AC Odyssey is one of the most frustrating games I have ever played. The whole time I was playing I felt something was wrong. Cassandra always felt weak, too limited to be a assassin. I felt the very fabric of the game was compelling me to buy XP boosters or the time savers packs. The map was to big & the nature of the game was too repetitive i.e. the grind was dull & annoying. And it seems this was by design. Ubisoft have lent themselves to join the ranks of Activision Blizzard, Bungie & EA. Games companies I will not trust & do not buy their products. That is a shame. So no more Ubisoft games for me. New horizons, new stories & new game dev's. Don't believe me just watch any of Jim Stealing's YouTube vids.

Nintendo Sues Accessory Maker for Switch 2 Leak

Nintendo is suing Genki, a Japanese accessory maker, for showing a replica of the Nintendo Switch 2 before its official announcement.

Won’t be surprised that they will blame Genki for missing the target sales. After all it’s Genki that decided to price the console and games

Christopher14h ago

Aren't they already sold out on preorders in most places?

MDTunkown10h ago

It’s still not hard to find them here in Europe. Amazon fr even until this weekend sold them for 20 euro cheaper than market price.

US and Japan are sold out Australia is in stock and UK has limited stock in some retailers left

The money that Nintendo lost on Wii U, they made up for on Switch, but still, the loss is still there. All guns blazing with Switch 2 pricing, suing Genki is a 'we need to make money' exercise. Goes without saying that Switch 2 will sell out at launch, but once it settles down, the masses won't pay it.

Genki abused its position as a partner to drum up hype for their business so they deserve the lawsuit however it's not going to be blamed for missing any targets

It’s almost identical to the first Switch. No surprise.

Why is it listed as today's hottest, nobody cares about it here...

Ubisoft buying their way to the top. They always have the shittiest advertisement ideas, like flooding videos and comment sections with obvious bots.

I think it is more of a global appeal versus a U.S. market.

Garethvk9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Obviously they do or there would not be the hits on it. Even Google picked it up for their news feed.

Fortnite is coming back to iOS devices in the US after a 4-year ban

Tim Sweeney: "We will return Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.

Epic puts forth a peace proposal: If Apple extends the court's friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we'll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic."
