They’ll stick around, but they’ll re-brand as “luxury” to help sell the higher price point. Either that or autonomous vehicles will make it just affordable enough for them to continue to exist.

Regardless of what’s “honorable”, this was annoying to watch. Like a sports team running down the clock. If an entire venue of people is watching you play I think there should be some semblance of showmanship, and this tactic, however valid it may be, is pretty disrespectful to the audience. In a game with 26…
Steam needs to grow or it needs to outsource community moderation. I don’t buy the “we still feel like a small studio of 50 people act” when they’re making billions.
Crunchyroll’s browser client has gotten better the past few months. I had started and stopped my subscription multiple times because of buffering issues and crashes, but since starting again this past January I haven’t had any issues. They have a lot of load balancing problems though, when popular shows like Attack on…
Regardless if Stadia works or not, I’m concerned that Google is going to do the same thing Epic is doing and start buying exclusivity rights. Then it doesn’t matter if you own a beefy PC or have a good connection, you’re paying the subscription price if you want to play those titles.
I think this entry fee thing could work, provided there’s a process in place to get it waived/refunded. They always stated that you could recoup it through sales, but having that upfront cost is enough to keep small teams, hobbyists, and college students from experimenting and taking chances. A lot of indies work part…
It wasn’t too long ago I read here on Kotaku an article about why game developers need to be “more open” about their games during production (blanking on the author), and this right here explains why everything’s so secretive in the first place. Every single creator out there wants to share their game with the world…
It depends on people’s watching schedules. People who have streaming services can watch whatever, whenever, but someone on cable is at the mercy of the network schedule or their DVR space. Some demographics may struggle with shows that are plot-heavy since they may miss some episodes, hence why shows like NCIS and Big…
Curious if Google has a clause in place for people resigning over particular projects. Any programmer that works on software that could potentially be lethal (military, GPS, medical equipment, anything really) should have the right to resign if they are concerned with the gravity of their work. I’m sure there are tons…
I think game devs can be more open about what they’re working on and if delays happen, but the specifics should be kept under wraps. It’d be nice to know if Gearbox is working on Borderlands 3 right now, but I don’t want to know every little detail about it. Even 10 years ago I found myself bored of games before they…
“suggesting that players value a well-designed gameplay over software quality”
Just about hits the nail on the head. Most men do tend to externalize problems where women tend to internalize them. I think Jordan Peterson (the guy from those interview memes awhile back) had some theories about modern men needing to “grow up” that tied in with why they tend to get angry instead of self improving.
While I’d say I lean in favor of unions, none of this addresses the supply-demand problems of the industry. The fact is, there are too many developers and not enough market. Sure, there are more people playing games than ever before, but people are paying less and less for games, especially full-price ones, it’s…
