The PS4 seems like a more friendly place for indie developers and alternative markets, I mean, they mentioned "free to play" right at the beginning of the presentation conference, that's quite a big deal.

I hope Xbox gets its shit together and realise how stupid it is to block games from their distribution pipe that vary from their nice little pattern.

Did they also mention "micro-transactions?"

Of course... that's what allows "free to play" to be profitable.

My point is that I wasn't expecting such a business model to appear on a console that quickly and it shows how flexible PS4 is willing to be.

360 already has at least one F2P game, also fairly certain it is getting more as well.

I prefer knowing less regarding the future. I think the reason I love MO is because I never knew it was coming out till I saw it in the shelves, whereas a lot of the veterans here had been hyped up and subsequently disappointed. Be careful what you wish for....!

Yeah, I too prefer to blindly purchase $60 items, rather than be an informed consumer.

It's a balancing act, too much hype and everyone is disappointed. Too little and no-one knows about it/buys it Ã* la Stranger's Wrath.

Didn't know it existed, saw it on a shelf, recognized Abe, excitedly bought it, was still shit.
