Well, don’t. The amount of times you will see people will hundred of hours of played say that the game quickly gets boring and they can’t even play 40 hours a week without getting bored of it is insane.

There are tons of places to read reviews that are not made by teenaged memelords, so why anyone would base any purchasing decision on steam reviews is literally behind my understanding

Literally the first thing that I was drawn to with the epic stores was the lack of user reviews. The last couple of years have shown very clearly that those are only abused by mobs online and they can never be trusted. Good of them to prove the point.

Wait, do you seriously think they will release the game for cheap just because it didn’t exist on steam before...? 

I think “F EA” is an extremely simplification of the whole thing. Just as with Andromeda is feels it was more leadership problem inside Bioware than EA forcing them to do stuff.

Really interesting read. Not often we get a look into the world of AAA game productions.

As other have said, you are probably talking about r/gaming, which is pure shite. Mostly memes and talks about “hidden gems” like Witcher 3 and BOTW. I honestly don’t know if r/gaming even have any mods now days.

God know that r/games (and Reddit overall) have it’s fair share of problem, but it is mostly discussion…

It seems that many of these big layoffs is in sections like publishing and marketing. Is there any specific reason why it is so? Have the mentality changed how to approach marketing, did the industry go on a hire spree a few years back and this is the consequence or is that a common place to “cut costs”?

Everyone I know who have worked at EA says it was one of the best places to work in the industry, and it is highly sought after.

This makes the whole “having to pay for cloud saves” issue even worse.

Are you saying that games like Fortnite and Apex is trying this kind of photorealism? Or multiplayer games like Overwatch? Hell, a game can’t come out these days without people saying that it looks like a mobile game. (and seriously, Medal of Honor? Didn’t the last of those game came out a decade ago? Pretty sure they…

You say that as if there have been a time in history when games were more diverse and fun as right now. The game that try to goes for this style of photo realism is very few and there is ton of great games out there. 

As someone who have puts an embarrassing amount of hours into Factorio I loved what I played of Satisfactory yesterday. It is diffrent enough so it wont replace it or anything, but the vertical aspects really adds a lot. Really looking forward to playing more and future updates.

I would love to try to replay those older Quantic Dream games. I love Fahrenheit when it came out and I remember everyone being crazy about Heavy Rain. These days I mostly hear bad stuff about Quantic Dream and I was less than impressed by both Beyond Two Souls and Detroit Become Human.

I checked when this was posted three times, to see if I accidently had clicked on an old article. This whole thing is just weird. How many people buy physical WiiU games now?

While I do agree with your sentiment it is currently impossible to know if the bugs are hyperbole or not. I don’t think there is a single strategy game that I play on steam that doesn’t atleast have mixed overalls review because people say it is unplayable because of a heap of minor bugs. There is so often one minor…

Just remove the review system all together. Steam existerar for the longest time without it and it adds nothing of valde. Why anyone would ask a bunch of anonymous kids if a game is worth playing or not is beyond my understanding.

Yes. They did a poll on it and it is literally only you. A unique little butterfly.

I meant more a specific group of the consumers, a gaming culture, than a broad western/eastern/american culture as a whole.
