i started playing wow again last week after not playing for like 8 years. i actually really liked the plot and game play of this latest expansion. i know it's super loving shameful though but it's actually made me less depressed recently

I've been playing ff14 and its been quite pleasant playing through the story and ignoring the existence of other players

microsoft is putting calloduty on gamepass, thereby making the ps5 version the only one that will actually make any money

I don't get why they spent 50 bil on activision then immediately chopped off most of their sales for service revenue that everyone knows isn't scaling like they hope

do they care? as noted by many yosposters, they're making all their money with business fleecing and boiling the oceans with ai.

and yet they've been on a spree of closing studios, including half of arkane

their eventual goal is to make gamepass so unstoppable that sony and nintendo have to support it and they have none of the expense or risk of launching new hardware but I don't think it's going to work

rumors are that most of the company was taken by surprise when the games division was allowed to spend 69 billion US dollars and now they are demanding it be paid back asap

and yeah gamepass is a classic "we'll make it up in scale" business plan

it's not like the games division has ever really had to be accountable for their performance for the last 25 years so this probably is a bit of a shocker

they clearly do, most of the more recent game studio closures have been affiliated with microsoft. lots of them also shipped stuff recently. seems they're trying to spend as little money as possible rn

my guess is they hope players get hooked on whatever game(s) and then when they eventually shut GP down they get a big old burst of revenue for that quarter

isn't there a lot of dlc poo poo for those games too though? i think that's how they thought they were gonna make money originally, like fortnite

even poo poo like the newest yakuza had it so if you wanted to do NG+ you either had to buy the ultimate edition or the DLC

it's so mid I couldn't even be bothered to get the name right.

Also, Two Bears was a much better Weird West than whatever one of my companions shouted right as I died in Blood Money and I never heard again.

haven't been able to parse out yet whether this is because it is bad or because it does not live up to what people remember homeworld being. haven't played it myself tho
