• ShopTo refuses to sell upcoming Activision games in row over Call of Duty: Ghosts

• GamesProgrammer 07/05/2013

  Is it not equally unfair on high street retailers that everyone knows you can get a game earlier from buying online, would not be surprised if this move from Activision, was not prompted from high street retailers complaining.
  
  Its Tuesday so its a single worldwide release date, to change it to Friday would mean getting all american retailers on board good luck with that. Reply +12

  If its still just gonna do what clicking in the bottom left corner does anyway, i hope there's an option to turn it off again, as it just takes up valuable real estate, i can see how its confusing it not being there for new users tho. Reply +12

• Santa Monica Studios clarifies its involvement with The Last Guardian

• GamesProgrammer 15/03/2013

  Best thing to do now surely would be make it a PS4 launch title, Its never been a steller selling franchise, surely this long in development it will never cover its costs now. May as well use it to push hardware.
  
  They are a fantastic series of games tho, more people should give them a go. Reply +25

  DO MS think of themselves as a hardware company now, if so then no there not really a threat, the steam box aint even out.
  
  But last time i looked they were a software company and steam are a massive threat, I doubt there's more than a handful of PC gamers that think "I wonder if that new game is on the Windows Store" Reply +40
