Yeah, but that's not the same case. Quantic Dream was like a second party studio and, once it become independent again, they could do whatever they wanted with their properties.

But Days Gone was made by Bend Studio, a first party, Sony owned studio.

Also, it's worth remembering that Sony gets 100% of the money PSNow makes, but will have to give Steam a cut. They're not the same.

Well, looks like Shikamaru found more listings and has decided to make a thread about it. It will be iteresting to see

**grabs popcorn**

That's true but PSNow is also a subscription service that has 100s of games so per game wise, steam will give them much more money even with that 30% cut.

That's also true. They complement each other.

Personally, I've always wanted this to happen.
I hope it's true.

Me too but alas, it's fake. Maybe next time loll.

It's a matter of time.

Someone reunited the Fellowship of the Ring in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord
https://www.pcgamer.com/someone-reunited-the-fellowship-of-the-ring-in-mount-and-blade-2-bannerlord/
There are already lots of Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord mods, and we're certain there will be a whole bunch of total conversion mods arriving in the days ahead, too. Modding Bannerlord into a Lord of the Rings game is high on lots of people's wish lists, including ours, but at least one player isn't content to just sit and wait for it.
Reddit member Okoii has reformed the Fellowship of the Ring, which you can see in the video below (make sure you have the sound on for the full effect).
The gang's all here: Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Strider, and Gandalf. The video shows them absolutely brutalizing a single opponent before a shocking event occurs: Legolas takes a hit. And no one is more surprised than the elf himself. That simply doesn't happen. What am I, some common Boromir?

Play Dark Souls 3 as a Bloodborne Hunter with this mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/play-dark-souls-3-as-a-bloodborne-hunter-with-this-mod/
Of all the PlayStation exclusives that deserve a second life on PC, Bloodborne is definitely at the top of the list. Sony's loosening the reins a little, which is why we're getting Horizon: Zero Dawn, but there's been no word on FromSoftware's gothic horror romp following suit. Thank goodness, then, for modders.
Hunter's Combat (cheers, Reddit) is a new mod for Dark Souls 3 that, while not recreating Bloodborne, will give you a taste of the other game's combat. Modder Forsakensilver has added Bloodborne's unique trick weapons, or at least two of them, along with the brutal 'visceral attack' and gun parry. More trick weapons are on the docket, with Forsakensilver also considering the Hunter's Axe and others.

https://www.pcgamer.com/sea-of-thieves-upcoming-revive-system-will-let-you-escape-the-cold-clutches-of-death/
Death in Sea of Thieves is a temporary state: When you get stabbed, shot, eaten by a shark, or blown up by a teammate who decides to play a game of Swingsy Swordsie while other people are moving gunpowder barrels around, you take a quick trip to the Ferryman, ride on his ghostly ship for a bit, and then get sent back to your own boat, none the worse for wear. The upcoming Ships of Fortune update will enable a new approach to those unfortunate endings with the addition of an option that will give players the ability to revive their crewmates.

Rockstar's culture of crunch is changing as GTA 6 picks up speed, employees say
https://www.pcgamer.com/rockstars-culture-of-crunch-is-changing-as-gta-6-picks-up-speed-employees-say/
An October 2018 Kotaku investigation into working conditions at Rockstar Games painted an ugly picture, as multiple developers reported extended periods of punishing crunch—"death march" was a term used by one to illustrate the grind. Rockstar itself acknowledged that the situation was imperfect, telling the outlet that it had come to realize that a culture of crunch is "not sustainable."
In a follow-up report released today, Kotaku said that changes at Rockstar appear to be having a positive impact on the company. There have been high-profile changes at the top, including the departure earlier this year of co-founder Dan Houser, but the heads of Rockstar studios in California and Lincoln, England have also been replaced, as have other executives who were allegedly contributing to the negative culture. One employee interviewed for the report said management is now "running the company like a company," while another said it seems "like a healthier culture overall."

Kards is a new, free CCG based on the Second World War
https://www.pcgamer.com/kards-is-a-new-free-ccg-based-on-the-second-world-war/
Most CCGs—Hearthstone, Gwent, Magic: The Gathering Arena, Legends of Runeterra, Artifact—are fantasy-based affairs, filled with medieval weapons, magical spells, and weird monsters as far as the eye can see. Kards, which went into full release on Steam today after a year in Early Access today, departs from that tradition by basing its factions, units, and abilities on the Second World War.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall's new faction is a bunch of angry, sneaky lizards
https://www.pcgamer.com/age-of-wonders-planetfalls-new-faction-is-a-bunch-of-angry-sneaky-lizards/
Lizards get a pretty bum rap in sci-fi and fantasy. They're almost always angry, bloodthirsty, conniving arseholes, suggesting that a lot of writers have had some really bad experiences with scaly critters. Age of Wonders: Planetfall isn't bucking this trend, introducing a new faction of unpleasant lizardmen, the shakarn, in the just-announced Invasion expansion.
