Insomniac's Spider-Man sequel has gone gold, which means it's done and won't get delayed! Probably.

    If you’re not familiar with the “gold” term, it means the game is complete and ready to be submitted to Sony’s online services and be printed to discs

    Am I the only one who has never heard this term before? I always thought going Gold referenced a sales threshold, similar to the music industry. The term as the article defines it is pretty dumb and useless.

      Going gold for a video game means the game is finished and ready and can be printed into its Gold Master Copy.

      The games industry, while note sales thresholds, do not reward sales thresholds.

      Xbox at a time would re-release titles that were large sellers on the original Xbox and Xbox 360 as “Platinum Hits.” Which may have helped your confusion on the topic.
