I doubt it's their biggest flop, but I fully expect this to be shut down by the end of the year. These Overwatch clones just can't capture the same lightning in a bottle. I don't know why Sony needs this. They have Helldivers 2 which is doing gangbusters. The game looks totally phoned by a bunch of people who were forced to make this. No love, no personality, just literally made to make money.Why do you doubt this being their biggest flop?
StoneAge Gamer still sells them in their own BitBox packaging and Krikzz still sells them on his site, however, most of the color variants are StoneAge Gamer exclusive.
Would I be able to change the homebrew to the correct category and have it approved?
I added a new entry here https://vgcollect.com/item/270150 Hopefully this is okay as this is what I would be doing going forward
Yes you can change them away from Homebrew to Unofficial Release.
For your entry, the description is wrong. We do not make any entry for an item that can contain multiple different things. What you would have to do is make an entry for each variant. And in the description you do not mention the other versions. Also I do not see if the term "Deluxe Edition" is on the packaging. If it is on the packaging, then you should put it in box text. If it is not on the packaging then that term can be put into alt-name.
Entry examples (that use the following presumptions)
1. That Deluxe Edition is not printed on the box
2. That the "Base" term for the cartridge is either on the box or in the manual
3. Base not being a valid color option
Stone Age Gamer Everdrive GG (Horizon)
Stone Age Gamer Everdrive GG (X7 Black)
Need to know what "Base" means in context of a color. It would not appear that Base = Black, since X7 has both.
PS: The retailer name should be Stone Age Gamer (with the spaces)
Some were added or changed to Stone Age Gamer because early on they were just listed as Everdrive or Kryzsx (sic) Everdrive and it did appear that while Stone Age Gamer did sell them in their own packaging, you could also get them directly from Kryzx at some point. I don't know if that is still the case or not.
For the color or model, if it is not marked on the box, I don't think it matters since the actual item inside will be different. So you can put the color in descriptor if there are variants.
As for homebrew, it certainly isn't because it is a commercial product.
Game journalism has been... not great... for a long time. There's a lot of crap out there. The best of the gaming sites IMO, GameTrailers.com, died out a long time ago. Unfortunately, both IGN and PushSquare groups are heavily left leaning, so if they post anything that has to do with politics, even moderately conservative opinions will be removed and users banned. I know this as I have been temp banned from both sites at some point for expressing a non-hostile conservative opinion.
Where am I going with this, you may be asking... If IGN has bought out their competitors, then there is no great loss. It's simply the consolidation of the same opinion under one banner and this will have zero impact on the readers and those that interact on their sites. That is... until with everything in the gaming industry at the moment... they start to downsize.
It has nothing to do with being "left leaning". To be honest, most of the top comments on all IGN posts are heavily right leaning. Usually some pretty sick stuff at that. Politics have nothing to do with this consolidation. It's about finances. We're headed towards another 80's game crash. Everything is about profit and pleasing share holders now. Gaming isn't about the art of it anymore. AAA games will implode, and all that will be left are the indie titles that have held the gaming industry up for the last decade. Small gaming sites can no longer thrive like they used to.
You missed what I was trying to convey. These sites all have the same ideals, the same mindset. They're essentially all the same. Now that it's all under one banner... there's been no loss.
I didn't miss your point. Your point is purely political, and there isn't any sort of agenda. The loss is huge. This isn't good for the gaming industry. Every site being under one banner means less trust, more shady back room deals, and a lot of people aren't going to trust any reviews on these sites anymore. IGN already has a bad enough reputation and this is going to seem like the Amazon or Starbucks of the gaming journalism industry. Buying up everybody, monopolizing, and killing trust. But sure, it's all about "leftist" ideas. Whatever that means.
Fair enough. You didn't miss my point. You saw it and ignored it entirely.
If you still have trust in the reviews these sites have then I don't know what to tell you. They haven't been trustworthy... any of them... in at least a decade.
