In reply to a question on the topic, Sony's
Shuhei Yoshida
tweets that the company has plans for an official Remote Play application to
stream PlayStation 4 games to Windows and OS X PCs (thanks
Gamasutra). Here's the tweet, though we've spoiled the gist of it already:
"Some people asked if we plan to provide Remote Play function to PC, and yes, we
are indeed working on an official application for PC/Mac. :D."
A tweet from
Steam Spy reveals that some data slurped by the
data slurping site show that prices on some
games went up before the fall Steam sale. Word is: "A number of games increased
their prices just before the Autumn Sale so they can offer a 'discount' during
it. Again. Why is it allowed?" They
go on to
offer a few examples: "Wreckfest was $29.99, now $34.99 with 50% discount - Auto
Dealership Tycoon was $4.99, now $5.99 - 20% - Epistory was $9.99, now $12.99 -
10%." Thanks

PlayStation 4. This plan was first tipped

Australian Classification listing, but the official announcement makes no
mention of the F2P edition of the sport simulation coming to Windows, so it may
be that this will be a PlayStation exclusive. Word is:

reports
MCV, saying that the good news is a deal is in the works to buy the business
and retain the existing team, minus current Managing Director Andy Payne. Word

middle-eastern investors reneged on a deal, leaving them overextended and in
need of rescue, which did not arrive in time. They quote Payne on the prospects
of the company reforming: "The new company will focus on flight and train
simulation only and I will not be employed by the new company, although I may be
asked to advise, and my future is now in my own hands again."
Happy Black Friday! I hope none of you got crushed in our doorbuster here
(everything is 99% off here today). All kidding aside, here's hoping you are
making out okay if you did actually choose to brave the crowds today, and you
avoided tramplings and other disasters. We had a
fine old time for Thanksgiving, and are perfectly happy just relaxing and
figuring out what to do with leftovers, including a couple of pounds of Chex
Mix. I may end up having some to spread on icy sidewalks.
