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.
This term has been used for a long time but it's largely irrelevant these days since games are patched continuously, sometimes with extremely large day one patches. It used to make more sense in the old days because it meant the game was complete and ready to ship.

I'm sure you aren't the only one. I saw people being confused by the term when Starfield went gold. It was a very popular term when games were only physical, but I feel like it fell out of use for a decade or so. But it seems to be making a comeback.
