Sony says PS5 has the 'best lineup in PlayStation history'
After the release of the first global ad spot for the PlayStation 5 and some details regarding the new DualSense controller from some developers, Sony is now saying it's confident it has 'the best lineup' it's ever seen ahead of launch later this year.

That's according to Sony Interactive Entertainment senior vice president and head of global marketing Eric Lempel, who spoke to GamesIndustry.biz recently. Launching a new console generation during a pandemic has presented challenges to everyone at Sony, but Lempel says the company is not seeing a scenario where they are unable to launch the PS5 this year still.

With games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Horizon Forbidden West, and more already revealed, Sony has already laid some of its biggest cards bare for the next-generation. Not only does Lempel believe it's the company's best lineup yet, but that there's still more to come that will equally excite.

Burger King faces criticism for using Twitch donation readouts to run advertisements
An advertising agency caused a stir earlier this week when it tweeted about a Burger King campaign that used Twitch's donation feature to get cheap on-stream plugs. The campaign didn't break any rules as far as I can tell, but it was even greasier than a Double Whopper.

The ads took advantage of a popular feature offered by Streamlabs that gives viewers the option to donate to Twitch streamers in exchange for having a personalized message read out by a text-to-speech plugin. Viewers pony up a minimum of $1, type in their message, and then get to hear a robot voice speak it live on the stream. Streamlabs says the tool 'can increase audience engagement and encourage users to send in additional donations to hear their message played out loud.'

Surprise! It can also be used by multi-billion-dollar global corporations to pimp their grub for literal pocket change.
