Remember when Facebook’s overarching company bought out Oculus? Well, some VR games seem to start out as exclusives on the “quest” headsets. (I know Facebook [the parent company] changed their name to “Meta”, but I refuse to acknowledge that)
I don’t have the tech-saavy for emulation, and I’ll still wait for console exclusives to come out on PC (unless we’re talking Nintendo exclusives I’m actually interested in). I’ve actively waited for Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game to no longer be a Facebook exclusive, and now I’m doing the same for Out Of Scale.
That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.
Considering this and No Man’s Sky having to spend YEARS clawing back good will, I think the lesson here is “don’t make deals with AAA publishers”.
It honestly reminds me of some statistics implying that deaths due to violence may be overrepresented in media perception, while deaths due to cancers and heart problems are seemingly underrepresented in coverage by comparison.
Are they talking existing sales, or sales after the announcement? If this is just post-announcement, holy fucking shit
Why is Microsoft, of all groups, monitoring Valve’s profits? That seems kinda weird to me, as though it’s overstepping some sort of boundary.
Is the Irish Sun owned by the same guys as the British version of The Sun? If so, I probably would look for other sources entirely. Preferably far, far away from the “games journalism” sphere.
Fair point. If so, it’s probably putting the update I’m downloading in the removable drive because I only have 21 gigs of free space, maybe, left on the SSD when its max capacity is almost a terabyte.
I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)
