Yeah what Valve is doing is great. Hopefully they will become more mainstream in the future and become more known with the super casual crowd. Nintendo definitely needs more proper competition in the handheld market.
Also FYI it’s Phillips with double L, Philips with one L is the Dutch electronics company.
Of course they don’t see synergy. The vast majority of Unity game developer will never need Weta Tools or Ziva FX. And the one that might have been useful, that texture generator tool called ArtEngine, is discontinued. And all their other tools they acquired are half baked. Like that version control system Plastic SCM
Lol this article comes out in the same week as Dunkey’s video about people speculating when RS will announce the GTA release date. Coincidence? I think not haha
With BG3 Larian is becoming a recognized name in the mainstream. If Hasbro is going to try and fuck them over they will just forgo the D&D IP and use their own IP or another RPG of another company for their next game. And still see success. And I bet the vast majority of BG3 player don’t know anything of D&D anyway.
Kids that aren’t ready to see sex in games aren’t grown up enough to play those games to begin with. I don’t know any non-porn game with a nude sex scene in it that isn’t a violent murder simulator. Except maybe Sims but that isn’t even graphic and even kids just find that funny to see.
Sucks that they lost their job. But this is why you don’t make your place of business your home. That attitude is how many companies get away with low pay and long hours. Bet Bungie told her that they are a family. She will quickly find out that the friends she made at the company were only friends of convenience. Especially the ones that still work there. Most of them will stop talking to her.
This is why you shop around after every 4 years or so or after every release and look for better pay. And yes sometimes it means getting a job outside gaming. And make sure you have a social life outside work and build relationships with people that aren’t colleagues.
It will probably just be an upscaler. Remember Analogue makes purists machines that works exactly as the original hardware, warts and all. So no emulation. The upscaler is in there because 4K TVs still have shitty built-in upscalers that can’t scale anything properly that isn’t 1080p
Dude was specifically hired for the IPO, he was hired in 2014 and the IPO was in 2020. So what you said doesn’t make sense. And before you say how do you know he was hired for the IPO. It’s a pattern that you see all the time. Founders step down, hire a CEO with experience, new CEO packs the board and c-suite to make the company seem more legit (probably packs the board with people suggested by the IPO underwriter) and raise capital to pump the value and get the valuation mentioned in the news. And boom company goes public a couple of years later.
Also the founders sold a shit ton of shares when the stock was around the peak. And even with the low price of today the founders are probably still billionaires.
