Top 15 still 7 weeks later.

  • 12/25 - Community Gamerscore = 380,361,740
  • 1/27 - Community Gamerscore = 683,954,900

(Total GS Earned by Players on Indiana Jones).

This is actually funny considering the "leak" (using that term loosely)

referencing this

https://gameworldobserver.com/2025/01/09/marvel-rivals-revenue-136-million-first-month-global

  • according to GameLook, Marvel Rivals’ first-month revenue on Steam exceeds 400 million yuan ($54.5 million);
  • PlayStation 5 follows with over 200 million yuan ($27.2 million), while Xbox Series X|S is estimated at around 20 million yuan ($2.7 million);

With the recent Skies of Arcadia trademark I just hope if SEGA does a remaster they do it right and have a physical collectors edition (and on xbox) same with the new JSR. I'd also be a bit surprised if SEGA and capcom isn't working on a Phantasy Star collection and a Breath of Fire collection given the recent popular retro JRPG collections announced.

I would no joke, buy Breath of Fire collection day 1 - (just would need to decide whether to buy it full price on Switch or Steam lol - and then multidip on the one I didnt choose, Playstation and Xbox later)

I played and beaten

-Breath of Fire (SNES)
-Breath of Fire (GBA)
-Breath of Fire II (SNES)
-Breath of Fire II (GBA)
-Breath of Fire III (PSP)
-Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter (PS2)

I do have Breath of Fire IV but stuck on PS3 (so hoping it gets added to PS Classics so I can get it on PS4/PS5 if not through a collection) and never played it, I should though lol





...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Honestly a good week for deals, some games like the Neptunia game is down 60%, Ninja Gaiden black is 5, Alot of them never have been on sale or not on sale for ages..

Maybe I pick something up but want to get a new phone + kindle this week...

Likely PC GamePass?

If it comes to console, that would be huge - I'm guessing you should be able to connect a keyboard cause I cant imagine playing WoW with a controller lol

It most likely would be Game Pass perks if it does get added to the service. If they were going to put the entire game on Game Pass, then that would mean MS would have to convert the millions of WoW subscribers into Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Or at the very lease Standard since both GP Standard and WoW are $15/month. 

Although that would inflate overall Game Pass sub numbers there's somewhere in the range of 7 million WoW subs every month. I can see MS making that pitch. "Rather than spend $15/month on one game, you can spend $15/month on HUNDREDS of games!"

As for console, the game has had controller support since 2020. It could be possible they've been working on a console port for multiple years now. It's certainly been highly requested for a LONG time now.

Well that was short lived although it certainly could have been a premature announcement. Would be far from the first time this has happened.
