In today's Daily Fix:
News broke yesterday that the staff of Annapurna's gaming division has resigned. According to Bloomberg, the resignations were over Annapurna Interactive's negotiations with founder Megan Ellison regarding the company spinning off into its own. Parent company Annapurna Pictures is a media company that also produces film and television. The gaming division is a publishing house that has published several hit games, including Stray and Outer Wilds. According to Ellison, all existing contracts to publish upcoming games will still be honored. In other news, Palworld developer Pocketpair is considering taking its hit survival/monster raising game free-to-play. The game currently sells for around $30 USD on Windows and Xbox (and also available via Xbox Game Pass), but could follow a free-to-play model. This follows several high-profile live-service game flops including Sony's Concord and Xbox Game Studios' Redfall, both of which required to be purchased in addition to microtransactions. And finally, the PS5 Pro edition could be a surprise hit, despite its high price. This conjecture is based on recent sales of the PS5 disc drive attachment—originally meant for the PS5 Slim model, but confirmed to work with the Pro edition. Apparently the attachment is sold out on Amazon and stock is reportedly running low on other retailers like Best Buy.
