hint: most people dont want to be playing 6 other games to enjoy the main one they are playing. as ideal as your idea sounds, it’s chaotic for the player. that kind of system should be self contained in the game itself and not spread out across 6 different games. people usually have 1 game they are playing and want to…

Honestly... this sounds like localization turned up to 20. Nah, it’s not just enough to translate some text, but develop an entire different game for the western markets.

I was being a little cheeky 

Last of us Part 2 Definitive GotY Edition for PS5.

actually, there is an incentive. repeat business. a legitimate customer who got a console will return to said business again in the future for other purchases. a scalper deprives the business of this business relation. they sold a product but they lost a chance at creating a business relation with a customer. so, yes.…

revenue is from ad views. youtube doesnt make any money from videos that dont feature any ads. and only content creators make money from sponsorships.

uh. its showing Feb 2-4 delivery... a little late for holiday delivery. sounds like Amazon is pre-selling their next shipment.

gamers are hungry for games and developers can only make games so quickly. Re-hashes fill the void between major new releases. You dont need to buy them if you arent interested. But new way to reach out to players new and old for a game they may have missed at original release.

Be careful, fahey.

or... you know. saving for another Sony showcase. because Sony is lacking in showing off the system’s capabilities. they showed games, they showed price and date. but have skipped on showing UI/System features. MS has been sprinkling the info over the past 6 months.

different experiences. games like genshin impact are like MMOs. you are playing to be playing for years to come. hades is a smaller experience. Play for 60-80 hours and then you move on to something else.

Honest Question:

this article proves that date/time are irrelevant. What MS did is make it so that bots can buy out the entire stock of systems in 3 minutes from all sites simultaneously.

reports are saying 2 waves were sent out already.

considering it’s their livelyhood... yes. this does affect them in a negative way. this can hurt their growth because they arent pushing the ad button enough on their stream.

Apple thinks they will be fine. They want the entire Gaming service pie to themselves with their 1Billion + device marketshare. So even if 10% of users signup, that is still $1Billion a month from those 100million Apple Arcade signups. That money is monthly. They make the platform and control the rules. Rules say, no…

Apple considers them the same. Pay a monthly fee and get access to a collection of games at no extra cost. Regardless of size of development of those titles.

Apple is looking out for Apple with these rules. The streaming apps directly compete with Apple Arcade. They dont want to allow competition on their platform. So they would rather make rules to make it impossible for competition to exist. If you want a curated list of games, Apple Arcade is your only choice on iOS.…

Having too much stuff wouldnt be any issue if all players actively played everything in the game. but when there are times when no one is in it, it can hamper the new player experience. Trying to do public activities by yourself isnt fun. Especially when you are new to the game.

you are exactly the type of person they are targeting. With the expansion they want you to have an easier time entering the game. One of the new areas in the expansion is the D1 starting area, so new players get to experience D2 starting with the D1 intro experience and early experience.
