E3 Booth Babes were dumb as hell as an idea but having to explain to my parents why there were scantily clad women all over a video game conference was a treasured memory I won't ever forget. "I just don't see how a bikini is going to help sell a pokemon."

Agnostalgia posted:As funny as it is to think that classical statues were painted by five-year-olds, they created that reproduction by analyzing paint traces on the marble so it's probably just a rendering of the base layers before detail work was added. Interesting, my first thought was "There's no way it was that loving stupid looking when the sculpture itself is so detailed".

Though, yes, on some level, I do appreciate that Microsoft's focus on the Game Pass model is leading to them putting money and publicity on smaller passion project type games like HFR and Pentiment that probably would have had a lot harder a time without it.

I don't go to Twitter, sorry. It's on whoever is posting a tweet out of context with no comment to explain why anyone should care what a random on Twitter says. In any case, his tweet is still illogical and contrived. Those 2 things have questionable correlation and absolutely zero causation, so regardless of what he's done, that tweet is stupid and it sucks (as most do).

Regardless, the 70 dollars is still bull, considering that some of the first games to do it were the 2K sports games that are already stacked to the gills with microtransactions and product placements.

Volte posted:It wasn't an assertion of correlation or causation though. Hi-Fi Rush is in fact a top seller on Steam despite being available on Game Pass. Ok, but then they drew the conclusion "therefore games don't need to cost $70", which may be true, but I don't see how his evidence is related to that in any way. Devs and publishers get paid for their games being on Game Pass, right? So what if it's selling well on Steam? It's a good game. Is it only selling well because it's $40? They're selling X number of units at $40, but how much revenue are they making? What of that is profit? Is $40 sustainable for the cost of production or are they selling at a loss? Does revenue from game pass not count? I honestly do not see the connection, sorry. I could just be dumb, though!

I don't think there's too much of a distinction to be drawn here other than that Hi-Fi Rush is a really good game at a favorable price point that came out around the same time as Forspoken, which is probably not. People naturally want to create some kind of narrative around how this means the little guy will prevail against the big evil megacorp (also not accurate) meanwhile AAA Hogfart's Lameassy has sold a trillion pre-orders in the same timeframe.

And those metrics are based on revenue not sales counts, so it is legitimately competitive with much more expensive games. https://twitter.com/BenjiSales/status/1619730479623831554 honestly, even being in the top 10 is a pretty good achievement on its own for a shadow dropped title with zero marketing
