In the past Microsoft had stated as well that games in gamepass generally lead to higher sales. This leads me to wonder why Sony hasn't seemed to make any changes too PS Now as a reaction? As the service seems stagnated in comparison to GamePass. As PS Now, still can't download PS3 games, PS Now still lacks recent hits such as the new God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. - Parker Petrov 00:48:00 - Why are people so quick to do these heinous acts?

Since then, it has sold over 6 million units, has become a major eSports staple, and is continuously improved upon today by Psyonix. Now, they're removing lootboxes?! We have NEVER heard of this before in a multiplayer game! Could this be a sign that sales are dropping so they want to get good PR now and bump them up? Or is this just the continuation of the Cinderella story? Also, do you think other developers will take the same approach with lootboxes if they see this plan really take off? - The Nano Biologist 00:21:00 - Death Stranding coming to PC? Sherif Saed @ VG247 00:22:29 Best Friend Q. - The official PS4 exclusives page has removed Death Stranding for it's page, this coming off the back of yesterdays new that about an "exclusive new look'" about the game is coming at GamesCom, makes it seem like maybe the "exclusive new look'" is that it's not "exclusive" anymore.
