Vince Zampella – the Call of Duty boss turned Titanfall and Apex Legends boss who’s now also the Battlefield boss – is just like the rest of us in that he has opinions on the PS5 Pro’s $700 price tag. He reckons it is not that bad, actually.

I’m pretty bummed out about this one. I was on-board with a life sim, Stardew Valley-type farming game set in the Shire as soon as it was revealed back in April, and everything I’ve seen and heard since then has reinforced my anticipation for this game. My colleague Dustin’s glowing hands-on preview sealed the deal.
“This isn’t just a Stardew Valley reskin with a licensed gimmick, it’..
