muddybulldog,

From the thumbnail I thought we were getting “Thirsty Sluts” for a half second.

I hate the fact that I know I’m inevitably going to buy this.

Epic has never been about innovation in the retail space. Sweeney talks a good game but it’s always been consistently out of his ass. He launched the Epic game store framing it as some sort of crusade on behalf of consumers, “Apple bad”, “Steam bad” but the reality is he just didn’t want to split money with others in the stack. I don’t blame him for that but his marketing was disingenuous and it’s quite obvious, now, that his business plan was inherently flawed.

His performative crusade against Apple has now led to 20% of the company looking for new jobs. We all stood by cheering, selling our souls for a bucket load of cheap games that, for the most part, we wouldn’t actually have paid for and will never get around to playing.

Microsoft May Exit Gaming Business If Game Pass Subscribers off Console Don't Increase Enough by 2027 (wccftech.com)

Spencer said in no uncertain terms that Microsoft could exit the gaming business if this projection became reality. Microsoft needs the light green and blue segments (PC and cloud) to get much larger and much faster by fiscal year 2027, or it could opt out of the business altogether....

muddybulldog,

Those aren’t even the moneymakers in that deal. The real money is in King.

muddybulldog,

Then who? Sony? The company that made rootkit a household name?

muddybulldog,

Funny thing being that the only reason SONY is in gaming was to screw Nintendo. They had a hardware partnership that fell apart because SONY was putting the thumbscrews to Nintendo over revenue sharing. Nintendo said, you’re not the only one who can provide what we need, and dumped them. PlayStation was the direct result.

Unity reportedly considering cap on hugely controversial per-install fees (www.eurogamer.net)

A week after Unity announced dramatic changes to its Unity Engine business model - drawing immediate and widespread condemnation from the development community - the company has reportedly told staff it'll be making adjustments to the controversial new pricing plan....

muddybulldog,

They’re floundering enough just from devs outcry.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they inform Microsoft & NVidia that they’re going to send them a bill for games running on Gamepass and GeForce Now.

muddybulldog,

Undoubtedly a significant number of these non-achievers are Gamepass subscribers.

muddybulldog,

There is a significant number of GP subscribers that don’t pay nearly that much, if anything at all.

I passively accumulate enough MS Rewards points each year to not have to pay for GPU just by using Bing for search.

muddybulldog,

BC titles remain available through the current store.

A Beautiful transcript with #ChatGPT4 about the situation/appeal/and judgement of my Forum Ban for #Diablo4 over criticisms about #RodFergusson

I was banned on the Diablo Gaming forum for the following post: [Title: Rod Fergusson ousted as Diablo 4 GM.][Text: Bye Rod, wouldn’t that be nice? Having a GM that doesn’t make weird creepy malignant tunnel jokes and actually can speak to the game?]...

muddybulldog,
