[ad_1] The move is the second part of the CMA’s response to a “super-complaint” on the loyalty penalty, or the tendency for some companies (not just in gaming) to punish long-serving customers by making it difficult or costly to leave.

Google surprises Android TV owners with unwanted advertisements
[ad_1] Updates that add features like additional HDR support or fix weird issues are one good thing about smart TVs, but as many of us have experienced, there can be a downside. Software updates delivered months or years after a TV is purchased could change the interface for the worse, or add “features” that are […]
PlayStation Classic owners: Write your own review!
[ad_1] If you missed our PlayStation Classic review back in December, here is the impression it left with editor Devindra Hardawar: He found the controllers cheap and the emulation inconsistent, concluding that overall it “feels like a mistake.” Ouch. In the end we did not find PlayStation Classic to be a fun throwback or even […]
‘Driveclub’ online features shut down March 31st, 2020
[ad_1] The server shutdown will prevent people from competing in multiplayer races, including events and tours. You also won’t get to compete against others on the leader boards or share your progress. Your season pass won’t work online, either. The game that’s left will be a shell of its former self. It’s not completely surprising […]
Sony may cut half of its smartphone division by 2020
[ad_1] The reported cutbacks at Sony perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Japenese tech giant has never been able to get a proper foothold within the industry. The company’s smartphones have fallen almost entirely out of favor. While nearly 1.6 billion smartphones shipped during 2018, just 10 million of them were Sony devices, according […]

Sony’s premium RX0 II action cam has a flip-up screen and eye AF
[ad_1] You can even use the screen underwater: the device is waterproof up to 33 feet, is tough enough to survive being crushed with 400 pounds of force and can withstand the impact of a drop up to 6.5 feet. That selfie-friendly screen is bolstered by Sony’s Eye AF that locks onto the eyes of […]
‘Iron Man VR’ puts you in the suit
[ad_1] You play, unsurprisingly, as Tony Stark the billionaire genius superhero, jetting around the world, fighting villains alongside other classic Marvel heroes. “We’ve set our sights on not only giving the player thrilling moment-to-moment action,” Camouflaj director, Ryan Peyton, wrote in a Playstation Blog post, “but also a deeply personal, and appropriately funny, narrative that […]
‘No Man’s Sky VR’ puts the universe on your headset for free
[ad_1] No Man’s Sky VR doesn’t lock virtual-reality fans in a mode of their own, but instead incorporates VR players into the existing game universe. VR astronauts can join games with non-VR friends, and they can expect all the same updates that the core game receives in the future. No Man’s Sky Beyond is a […]
Sony will stream a PlayStation news event on March 25th
[ad_1] The first episode will include game reveals, trailers and gameplay footage for PS4 and PS VR, while there will be more State of Play streams throughout the year. Sony is fairly obviously taking a page out of a rival’s playbook here. Nintendo doesn’t hold press conferences at E3 either, instead opting to make announcements […]
