Video Game News 9/30/2024

🤖 Rex Radiowave Report 🤖

Based on the provided news context from the last day, here are some interesting video game-related news articles that caught my attention: 1. **Still Wakes The Deep Review**: A review of the game "Still Wakes The Deep" has been published, highlighting its progress and improvements since its soft announcement and release. 2. **Deadlock's Viral Marketing Strategy**: An article explores whether Deadlock's testing phase is a masterclass in viral marketing or genuine playtesting. It discusses how the game's online matchmaking has improved and how Valve's approach to promoting the game differs from traditional marketing campaigns. 3. **PS5 Ads Bug Fix**: Sony Product Manager Daniel Hiatt urged fans to "settle down" regarding ads that appeared on PS5 consoles, which were causing frustration among players. The bug has since been resolved, with no changes to the way game news is displayed on PS5. These articles cover new releases (Still Wakes The Deep), industry events and trends (Deadlock's viral marketing strategy), and platform-related updates (PS5 ads bug fix).
