EDIT: Actually, the fact that they have to even say this tells me this is massive damage control for investors. Ubis stock dropped like a rock in the EU market the second the market opened after the trailer dropped.
To be fair, Hello Games did reclaim their honour some time ago already. NMS is amazing and they keep releasing new, meaningful updates for free. Their community loves them.
Still a great example on why not to preorder, the game needed years of more work to be in an acceptable state. Why waste your time and money when you could just hold off until the game is actually finished, or at least until you can confirm it’s actually worth the investment based on its quality to you.
Yeah idk why people would pay for a digital product before its release, it’s not like it will suddenly be unavailable after release, and they’ll have spent money on something they can’t own and enjoy yet
I’m not really a fan of KH but I am happy that JRPGs being released on Steam is expected at this point. There was a time when almost no Japanese games got PC ports.
And the funny part is that because they refuse to fund medium sized projects that could lead to potential new or revitalized franchises, they keep running what they have further into the ground and then leaving things for dead instead of listening to the fandom and fixing issues.
I don’t think anyone asked for Rebirth to be a “bigger”, “better”, open world game… Intergrade seemed to strike a really good balance for a lot of people.
Squenix is so busy sticking to risky projects that it thinks are safe bets, while interpreting every underperforming title as sign of fans not being interested. It’s like they think there’s no money to be made unless the entire planet is playing the game.
I’d be curious to hear more. I bought it just to ride the hype train. I regret nothing, but I’m not sure what features would help me dive back in for more.
I’ve been a AAA developer for almost 2 decades, and there is no way in hell they did not explicitly sign to have the sony account linking. I didn’t like the way he acted on twitter acting like the poor indy dev getting wrecked by the tyrant, when he was hoping it would fly.
He thought it would be okay to sell your data for his chance at making a game. When it backfired due to popularity, he didn’t take any responsibility and let sony look bad. I bet there’s a lot of people at Sony who didn’t like that.
I agree, he made his bigger partner look bad. Even if sony didn’t force this (which I’d be surprised about), their own board probably did. “Oh you just pissed off our biggest partner, that doesn’t seem great for business”
