The one thing I don't get with Embracer is how many indie devs and publishers took the deal. Gotta wonder what they told the devs and publishers to get them on board.

The only interesting game Funcom has done is Anarchy Online, but even that is not fun to play. None of their MMORPGs are good.

yeah, it's the same economics behind epic store indie exclusives: you could remain independent, but you're in an industry with razor thin margins where a single failure could destroy your ability to continue to produce, so shaking the devil's hand isn't something most of them could refuse

The short of it is that in order to get the game published the core ZA/UM folks had to partner with investors, one of whom had been convicted of major financial fraud in Estonia.

After the success of the game the capitalists of course decided to extract maximum value out of the property which is why they did merch deals and stuff with Amazon that you might think would not make any sense for communist avant-garde artists, which of course was why the capitalists also forced them all out.

People Make Games, who usually do good investigative work, put out a video that basically went "shrug, maybe there were problems on both sides, it's complicated" but lol

I spent 48 hours playing Pokemon Emerald (the only one I've played since Blue/Yellow and Gold) and I mistimed my grinding so I didn't have enough levels to beat the Elite Four, so I looked up the ending on YouTube. It was fun, though. According to Howlongtobeat, the median time for the game is 30 hours and 8 minutes.

This and I think it should also be a good one too.

Maybe we move all existing IP into the Disney Vault for 30 years. We'll be in our 60s when they can next churn out a bunch of remakes and new sequels.

I think the actual right procedure is the exact opposite of this. Make copyrights only last for, like five years, so there is way less incentive to milk your sequels because anybody can make Mario or Mass Effect or whatever, and you have to actually win on quality rather than being the only ones allowed to make a game with certain characters/setting.

Rumor has it that Respawn is now working on a Star Wars game where you play as a Mandalorian (not that one) (not that one either)

Mr. Nemo posted:

One of their investors drove the original creators out of the company and basically took it over with some very sketchy financials (borrowing money from the company by selling things to himself for a dollar that he then used to purchase the company from himself and the other investors), giving him full control over the company and IP and leaving the original folks unable to create anything new in the setting they'd spent 20 years developing in addition to losing control over the game they already published.

There was some drama after that between the original creators and the folks who worked on the game but decided to stay at the company, but that's sort of its own thing.

It's a survival game, by Funcom. Think Conan: Exiles. You punch rocks and build shelters.

They've also said it is set in an alternative timeline, meaning they can do whatever they want and keep a bunch of dead characters alive.

I haven't even turned my Switch on since I completed SMTV. PS4 since Spiderman which is on PC now anyways. The console manufacturers are more interested in pushing nostalgia bait and weird online rental services than they are in funding interesting games. Sad, almost glad Sony closed Japan studio instead of letting us think they might actually put out something worth playing.
