“With Zero Marketing Costs!”

There’s sponsored ads on PlayStation. Not quite zero.

This game was shadow drop

[P_Bomb]

I know. I bought it. But since then, I’ve seen marketing on the PlayStation store as well as YouTube. As recently as today.

It wasn't a shadow-drop. Like Bethesda always does, but this time instead of modding, they used the fans to market the game so they didn't have to pay for it and then announced it a day before the actual release backed by a sizeable interest from intentional leaks. People got suckered into marketing the game for them and they stepped on everyone by announcing it a day before to capitalize on the 'free' marketing. Fallout Shelter was an actual shadow drop.

And P_Bomb is correct, it costs them to market their stuff on PSN.

Of course, this game was beloved by many.
Oblivion will always be my favorite elderscroll.

It would actually be more impressive if it didn’t sell well.

Hopefully that physical version comes out soon. I’m half way through Infinite Wealth so I’m hoping it becomes an actual thing by the time I’m finished.

It's over 120GB. That physical copy isn't happening.

[-Foxtrot]

And discs can fit in 100GB

Can easily download the rest

Besides the box art was leaked before the announcement. Everything else came true from those leaks, why not that 🤷🏻‍♂️

It will just be a download key.

It's best for the hyper enthusiasts and I'm one of them.
