PS7 launch line-up securedSo it’s finally over? Sony has stopped making new live service games… until they announce some bland-looking co-op looter shooter next month, that no one wants and will be cancelled before it’s ever properly revealed. That was what happened to Fairgames and good riddance to it as far as I’m concerned.

A whole generation has been wasted on this nonsense and the only hit they’ve had is the only game they didn’t make themselves (Helldivers 2). That’s so poetic!

Of course, they’ll never admit anything has changed. They barely acknowledged the whole live service game push started in the first place. That means we’ll get no explanation of how they thought any of this was going to work or at what point they realised it hadn’t.

I also expect Sony is too proud to admit the mistake and that we won’t see any major increase in the number of single-player games. I hope I’m wrong on this but given how long they take now how long would it be till they were all ready anyway? This could be good news for the PlayStation 7 but not much else, I expect.Bootles

Out of the frameIn answer to Adam_Lion_23’s letter, I have just cancelled my GTA 6 pre-order.

I had kind of hoped on the PS5 Pro it would at least have a 40fps mode, this mode makes a hell of a difference over 30fps.

I am not a gaming snob, I just find 30fps too jarring to play and this was the main reason I upgraded to the pro version of Sony’s console.
