I really hate exclusives. Wish they’d just go away.

People buy them and people buy the console to buy them. They are not going anywhere. Sony always been that extra anal anti-consumer company aswell.

Nintendo has entered the chat

It made sense at some point, but it’s ridiculous nowadays (except perhaps for the Switch, since it seems to be difficult to port games on it, but nothing holds Nintendo to release their games on the others). PC / PS5 / XSX should have the same games.

This is probably the second worst news to come out of this hack/leak story.

don't care we get a Blade game 😊

This is the best summary I could come up with:

These files include personal documents of employees, as well as Insomniac Games' plans for future titles, corporate strategy, financial information, and more.

During this time, X-Men characters are allowed to be used in "multi family" team-up games, such as a future Avengers or Guardians of the Galaxy title.

Leaks suck, and they happen for a number of reasons, from timing issues where a trailer goes live early to a chatty employee sharing information with someone.

Large portions of Marvel's Wolverine have leaked, from the plot and script to casting details, animations, gameplay footage, and so much more.

The idea someone just wanting to make games has to worry about their private information being exposed is awful, and I truly hope anyone affected can get things together and protect their privacy as quickly and easily as possible.

I'm not going to be copying and pasting anything wholesale, but like with the terms of the X-Men agreement, the fact is there are going to be things to talk about and hopefully provide some context to.

The original article contains 752 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
