Yes, but what’s their overall revenue? If individual sales are down but the people still buying it are making up the difference in microtransactions, then it doesn’t really matter.

People buy iPads to watch movies, they don’t buy iPads to play that crappy iOS port of Grant Theft Auto 3. That’s actually a pretty good comparison, but I really don’t think it helps your point much.
Yeah, that’s true. It’s really cool that the Quest is so portable, and clearly that has value for folks like Fahey. I just question whether it’s necessary to have a completely standalone device to do so, what with wireless HDMI and streaming over bluetooth/wifi. These things aren’t quite good enough to handle VR yet,…
Your PSVR or Oculus rift or whatever will be garbage in five years.
I’ve had the same keyboard and mouse for nearly 14 years now, and they both still work wonderfully. The 1080p monitor I bought back in 2010 still lets me do everything it did back then, too, because it’s not dependent on anything else to work.
A VR headset isn’t a console. It’s a monitor with some gyroscopes, a camera, and a remote.
It has built in speakers, but the quality is absolutely horrendous - worse than the original CV1 that launched in 2016. Thankfully there’s a 3.5mm jack so you can just plug in your own headphones.
I agree that wireless is 100% the way VR needs to go, but standalone is not the best way to accomplish that. There are already PC VR games that you will never be able to experience on the Quest because it just doesn’t have the hardware - and it’s not just about the graphics, we’re talking things that actually affect…
When you can’t craft cards, like in Artifact, people have to play different things.
So “review bomb” is now just the de-facto excuse when developers don’t want to admit their mistakes? Cool.
Battlefield V has a server browser though. You can host your own private servers just like the good old days.

Creed is really great too, the physics aren’t exactly super complex (there are only 3 levels of force for punches) but you can do a lot within the game’s little sandbox. Online is really fun if you can find someone who isn’t just cheesing it. Hell of a workout, too.
Wow, they’re even paying for exclusive league commissioners now... What will Epic do next?
Or like how some people call the original Playstation the PSX, when the PSX was actually a combination Playstation/DVD player that only released in Japan.
The Xbox 360 was supposed to compete with the Playstation 3 and 2 sounds older and weaker than 3, so they went, IIRC, with the idea that it the player is the center of the experience so people wouldn’t think the Xbox 2 was a competitor to the PS2.
I accidentally discovered this back at launch - if you’re in a catapult and back it up to a steep hill/cliff, when you get out you’ll be stuck under the map. Couldn’t get back out, but it was really fun waiting for an enemy to try grab the catapult then stabbing them through the ground.
I don’t play Magic but GG-ing out when you know you’ve been bested is standard etiquette in, like, basically every competitive game. Starcraft, Counter-Strike, all the MOBAs, etc.
Yeah, they’re full of entitled manbabies demanding Ubisoft cater to their whims by changing the game.
I mean you’re preaching to the choir - it’s not like the actual developers, coders, artists, and audio engineers really have any say in the matter.
