Sony Removes Popular game Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store, offers full refund

0

One of the year’s most highly anticipated gaming blockbuster, Cyberpunk 2077, has been plagued by bugs due to which Sony is pulling the game from the PlayStation Store and in an unprecedented instance offering full refunds for anyone who bought the game from the digital storefront, the company said on Thursday. Visit this site and sign in to your PlayStation account to submit a refund request now if you haven’t yet.

The dystopian themed title doesn’t come up in a search for “Cyberpunk 2077” on the web version of the PlayStation store. The radical move to remove the game came after the console version faced reviews calling out problems and an online outcry from players disappointed with its poor performance. On the PS5,  there are repeated crashes and a number of distracting visual glitches. The game fares a lot worse on PS4, Eurogamer reported poor performance, low framerate, and texture pop-in.

Sony’s move to pull the game from the PlayStation store comes just days after CD Projekt Red, the Polish developers of Cyberpunk 2077, said people who are not happy with their purchase on the Xbox One or PS4 should request a refund. Yet, many who bought digital versions of the game were unable to get refunds due to Sony’s stringent refund policy. (With Microsoft’s more generous refund policy, players who bought the Xbox One version of the game have reported better luck.)

According to The Verge, CD Projekt Red posted a note to its investor website disclosing Sony’s decision, saying (PDF):

“The decision [to disclose Sony’s decision] was undertaken following our discussion with SIE [Sony Interactive Entertainment] regarding a full refund for all gamers who had purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store and want a refund at this time. All copies of the game previously purchased digitally on PlayStation Store remain available for use by their respective buyers. Gamers can still buy physical versions of the game in retail and mail-order stores. All copies, whether digital or physical, will continue to receive support and updates from the Company.”

It’s unclear when Sony plans to return Cyberpunk 2077 to the PlayStation Store.

“SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store,” Sony said on Friday according to the Economic Times.

“SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.”

All copies of the game, digital and physical, will continue to receive support and updates, and physical copies can still be bought by PlayStation owners. “We are working hard to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to the PlayStation Store as soon as possible,” says CD Projekt Red.

The Warsaw-based publisher has also committed to releasing patches to improve Cyberpunk 2077 and fix bugs and crashes. They have already released one post-launch update, and in a statement dated December 13th, the studio said another update is “coming within the next 7 days.” More important fixes are planned for January and February. “Together these should fix the most prominent problems gamers are facing on last-gen consoles,” the company said.

Sheffield United has made the worst start of the Premier League history

0

Sheffield United are facing the worst start in the Premier League history. Sheffield United has lost 12 of their first 13 games in the league and now are bottom of the league with just 1 point.

Last night they lost against Manchester United by 3-2. Sheffield United took the lead in the 5th minute after a howler from Dean Henderson in his return to Bramall Lane. But Manchester United put another stunning comeback. Marcus Rashford scored a brace and Anthony Martial scored one for Manchester United. Sheffield United’s striker David McGoldrick scored the second for the Blades.

This is the worst start by any team in the top flight league of England. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is on verge of losing his job. In an interview with BBC Sports, he said, “I’m happy with the manner of the performance. Tonight was about performance if I’m being honest, we needed one from the players and we asked some questions from some world-class players.”

“I am a free manager anyway, I don’t worry about what I can’t control. I don’t worry about my job. I keep coming into work and doing it to the best of my ability. There is a huge gulf, people don’t understand what Sheffield United are about when they talk about people’s futures.”

“I have been in the game long enough to know that that question will be asked. There is a story to every club and we accept that.”

Sheffield United will face Brighton tomorrow in the Premier League.

English Premier League signs a $500 million contract with BeIN for MENA Region

0

The deal made by the Premier League is worth a reported $500 million over a span of three years of the 2022 to 2025 rights cycle, the same value as BeIN’s current deal. The pay-TV broadcaster gains rights to all 380 English top-flight soccer matches every season across 24 countries in the region.

The contract also covers Saudi Arabia, where BeIN is banned from broadcasting. The Qatar-based network privately accepts is content will be stolen in the country. The thought behind BeIN’s decision to maintain its level of Premier League investment is a depiction of faith in the rights holder over its efforts to combat piracy.

Per New York Times, Newcastle United, who saw their Saudi-backed takeover blocked by the Premier League earlier this year over the problem of piracy, were the only club to vote against the deal.

Richard Masters, Premier League CEO said, “beIN has an outstanding track record of delivering top-quality Premier League content across all its platforms.”

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, BeIN Media Group chairman, said, “This deal demonstrates that rights holders who do the most to protect their intellectual property also do the most to protect the value of their media rights.”

German soccer’s Bundesliga had found a new broadcast partner in the region after losing BeIN and Serie A had to agree on a rebate with network to reflect the fact that is rights were not exclusive.

Premier League action will be broadcasted live and exclusively by beIN SPORTS in both English and Arabic language via their dedicated portfolio of 19 sports channels, along with special programming presented by some of the biggest names in the world of football.

India vs Australia: 1st Test, Day 2

0

What an amazing performance it was from India on the second day of the 1st Test against Australia. The bowlers gave an incredible performance today as Australia got bowled for 191 in reply to India’s 244.

Fantastic bowling performance was shown by India, which was led by a heroic performance from Ashwin with a four-wicket haul. Adding to that Bumrah’s sending back, of both Australian openers added more confidence to others. Later on, Umesh Yadav took three more to pack Australia up for 191 as he bowled back of the length to send back dangerous Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins. Mohammed Shami was also great with his length but was disappointed by the fielders as their performance on the second day was very poor with missing out on the catches.

“Going by what happened last time, the wicket becomes better to bat as the Test match goes on,” Ashwin said during a virtual media conference.

He also added that “I felt it played best for the batter on the fifth day last time. when we went into the Test match, we felt that we are in a similar sort of situation like last time”.

More, Ashwin added, “I think we made 250 last time and we were six runs shorter this time, so we knew that we are in the contest. We thought probably we put up a bowling performance that is a notch better than what we did last time,.

He was very happy to have dismissed Steve Smith which could yield good results in the final times of the match as he stated that, “Obviously it’s a big wicket, given his appetite for runs and the amount of time he bats, from that context of the match, it was a big wicket. Really happy.”

The Indian spinner further talked about comparisons with Australia’s Nathan Lyon and how different they are as he said, “I think every spinner is different and it can be blown out of context as to how one approaches his trade. Nathan and I, both bowled very differently and we are different bowlers and successful in our own ways. For me it’s not about trajectory so much, it’s about trying to have those change-ups and making it difficult for the batsmen to score”.

He further added, “If you are playing four bowlers, my job is to hold one end up and protect the fast bowlers and also go for wickets if I get enough assistance. So it becomes my job to make life difficult for the batsmen,” he said.

He praised pace head Jasprit Bumrah for going out and giving a bold performance against the Australian pace attack under lights. He quoted, “Jasprit is an extremely competitive cricketer. He likes to take the battle on ever since he has come into Test cricket.”

Prithvi Shaw today again failed as his defense was breached again before ending the day at 9/1, not only this, after the dinner break, Marnus Labuschagne scored 21 which was dropped by Shaw at square leg which was also a mistimed pull shot. But Bumrah’s batting in the final few minutes of the day completely stole the limelight as India took a crucial run-lead of 53.
