one thing that is really annoying when scrolling through deals section on the PS5 store is that it takes you back to the top of the list anytime you exit out of a game's page is it just me or does anyone else have this issue?

5 years ago today, Sony announced they would be shutting down both the PS3 and PS Vita stores Thankfully due to massive fan backlash they reversed the decision and both stores still remain open to this day When do you think they’ll finally shutdown for good? My guess is in 2027

Been sharing a lot of minor updates via our discord but figured I would tweet out a few here. Changed the project pipeline for The Perplexing Orb Touch. It is really coming together. News and devlogs soon!

@realradec At this point in time you either have to A) pay staff less, B) use less staff to create the product, or C) make games faster in shorter cycles. Most likely none of the above will work in modern AAA, picking up and moving studios to different states could also work...

@realradec Honestly sounds about right to me. If you look at the number of employees, the average salaries that are in the area where studios are located, and the 5 to 7 year dev cycles + add in marketing, studio costs(rent, tech, taxes, perks) idk how you even get it under that.

I like Peak (and the devs) but I don't think it's healthy to encourage indie devs to chase trends and pump out games "before the fad dies". Too many people already see game dev as a get rich quick scheme. Indie devs should be encouraged to make stuff that they like.

Peak co-creator is encouraging indie devs to break free from traditional polished development cycles. Instead, he says, prototype quickly and lean into the chaotic, social fun that these low-fi co-op titles deliver while the window is still open. "Make friendslop games before the fad dies."

@RealTurniplord for PS Premium yearly. That over the long run is more expensive than owning a PS5 and buying games. PS Premium tier is mostly just for the most hardcore and engaged PS customers, at least from what I have seen. Half of my fanbase does not even pay for essential anymore.

@RealTurniplord Man energy prices sound wild over there. I barely pay more total for my year than your yearly savings. Yea I think the portal sales are around 4 or 5 million, but I would guess that 95% of those owners own a PS5. I don't really know of anyone who buys a Portal just to pay (1/2)

Hey @triomatica - I see that Boxville on PS5 is stream enabled, so we can play it on the PS5 and the Portal, but Boxville 2 isn't... Could you possibly enable streaming on the sequel so we can stream the game without using the console? I believe you just have to enable it Thx!

@RealTurniplord Customers with only a portal is at this point an extremely small fraction, if any at all. But it sounds like you would be a good candidate for low power mode on PS5 and the PS6 handheld lol.

@TreeFallGames Uses less than 10kw/h if it's plugged in and being used at the same time So, it saves me a lot in terms of electricity - as I spend a long time gaming, over 3500 hours last year In general though, it also means you have lots of potential new customers who only have a portal

@RealTurniplord Ah ok that does make sense. Because I knew I had set them all up the same to be streamable. So they are picking.

@TreeFallGames Ah, thought you had asked, as the other developer did and they were told Sony picks the games that are enabled - but Boxville 2 was enabled when asked :) I use my Portal for all non-pro games that are supported because the PS5 with the TV uses around 250-300kw/h, yet the Portal

@RealTurniplord @triomatica @Pinkerator I never said that, that was my assumption it was automatic. I will look into it and see if I can turn on the streaming capabilities on the older games. Out of just curiosity, why are you streaming games when you have the PS5? Or is it more of a travel thing when you are away?

@triomatica Thank you :) I'm glad you were able to turn on streaming - @Pinkerator and @TreeFallGames were apparently told by their reps that they can't enable it and it's up to Sony which games are made streamable I feel not all Sony/PS reps know the same things!!
