That’s -part- of it, but not very much. The public at this point expects it and in some cases demands it. Madden laid the foundation. I don’t see that changing and one reason Microsoft bought them, because they know they can count on the regular infusion of cash.

Thank you Brian. I just learned that you are taking another path in life and I will greatly miss you, from that first interview years ago when I wanted to earn commenter rights, to weeding out the semi-regular infestations of trolls who wanted to shit the commenting sections up.

FF14's phoenix like return was a hell of a lot of work done as quickly as they could, because few MMO’s blew like OG 14 did. They seem to understand that 14 is making them money because Yoshi P is doing things his way and keeping them from loading it down with bad ideas that will drive the playerbase away...to a…

Peacemaker is digustingly better then it has any right being, so I figure that even with them swinging the ax, it will get another season. But this is the same company that keeps changing it’s name and plan of attack every other month so..

Pence’s nonsense is stolen from ‘Christian’ big names like Billy Graham who saw loads of leadership and cohorts go down in flames because they were fucking the secretaries or members of their ‘flock’ and sooner or later it would come out. His logic was that if he never was around a woman outside of his wife with at…

They can lean into gaming all they want, but outside of the flavor of the week/month, it is extremely hard to make and publish a game that captures people’s attention and can sell millions. I know they’ve been making moves towards this for a while, but I don’t see having games reversing course for them, because they…

Hornets will always be attracted to water, as many bugs are. I would look at checking the area and dealing with any nests you find. The hummingbird feeders are harder, because many insects are drawn to sugar.

They said that porting X would cost way more then they are willing to spend, due to all of the work that would have to be put into it. X getting the greenlight and funding is as likely as SE suddenly remembering all of those 16 and 32bit era games they never localized would now be worth bringing over. LiveALive…

This woman is a cooning viper in the grass and any victory for her is still a terrible, morally bankrupt person getting some coins out of a fellow terrible, morally bankrupt person. A pox on both their houses, may they both burn down to the ground and soon.

I think I was.

Indeed they are. I don’t know how I fucked that up. Thanks for the correction.

They could, but something tells me that if they haven’t already done so and gotten his estate on board, it’s not happening.

When KAJ comes for you, your ass is dead. The man uses his way with words (Backed up with the fact that he is legit smart), that when he’s done talking, there’s nothing left standing, save for his statement embedded in the earth, under which a smoking body lies.

Current day Sega bought Atlus for a reason, it saw how well they can milk money from customers and wanted some of that action. I never thought that buying a guide for Phantom Brave years after the game was only available via used games stores was smart, but fuck, now I wish I had shelled out for all of the guides…

I think due to the way that Pokemon was birthed, there’s no real risk of Pokemon ending up on other platforms. Otherwise Sony, if not Microsoft would have thrown all of their money at it. After all, following Sony and Microsoft’s attempts at creating their own Pokemon having died ages ago, if a outside party could…

If it is, that would be extremely stupid, if said employee wants a job not just in gaming, but tech period. Whatever internet props the leaker gets isn’t worth effectively never being able to work in tech again.

He can -try- but like his hero Trump, it’s all toothless blubbering .

Steam’s return on investment is simply too good. Gabe and Valve as whole can and will be able to live off of the profit not right up to the point they go into the ground, but any children and maybe even grandchildren will too.

As someone who has been part of a survey panel for ages, they most certainly were considering it for some time, likely from the time we first started hearing whispers about NFT’s a while back. This sort of stuff can go from idle musings to full on surveys and feeders fairly quick and often the head leadership might…

If Game Pass really is Microsoft’s Costco Hot Dog, then they will have to do -something-, likely a bunch of somethings to keep the prices low.
