A Dealabs leak reportedly reveals PS Plus Extra games for March: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Persona 5 Royal, Madden NFL 26, Metal Eden, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, and Astroneer (PS4) arriving March 17, with Sony expected to confirm the lineup soon.
After seeing the game Astroneer hit a record low price during the latest steam sale, a local gamer purchased it but announced his intention to never play it, citing a fear of missing out and the possibility of changing his mind in the future. Some developers have reportedly started producing games that are little more than an executable file that launches to a title screen, capitalizing on the trend of purchased but unplayed games. Dr. Bridget Stevens, a sociology professor, has been studying this phenomena and notes that many gamers amass collections of games that are fated to sit forgotten and unplayed.
Game publisher Devolver Digital has acquired System Era Softworks, the developer behind the popular space exploration game Astroneer, in a deal worth up to $40 million. The acquisition is seen as a significant milestone for both companies, with System Era praising Devolver's support for indie developers. System Era will continue to operate independently under Devolver and will focus on developing new projects while continuing to support Astroneer. The deal is expected to strengthen both companies' positions in the gaming industry.
