Not a very descriptive or well written article. In terms of the Smash Bros complaint, of course Nintendo isn't taking it seriously. Do you want a playable character to be the boy in the striped pajamas? Smash Bros is a goofy celebration of Nintendo star power--not a social commentary.

boy in the striped pajamas uses his expert skills to lure you into certain death.

There shouldn't any expectations for racing games anymore, so GT6 isn't valid. They're only going to look so much better. What else do you expect. There's more room for improvment in Football games and Basketball games. It's like how you gonna improve Golf, Boxing, and racing by so much anymore.

Killer Instinct five times.

yea obviously all the good devs that were in rare originally that made the awesome killer instinct games on the snes etc bailed after microsoft brought out rare and did nothing with the company.. just milking off the franchise for a quick buck ...

Did this guy seriously think that ACBF was going to be anything different than it's predecessors? That Ubisoft would dare to stray away from a money making formula? Seriously...no. Stop buying that crap. The redundancy in gameplay is getting to be way ridiculous.

How much can he expect these games to change from the previous?

Smash bros-still beating each other up
Gran turismo-still racing
Assassains Creed BF- still assassinating

Assassins creed has been annual for the past few years now also so that can only be so different.

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein6h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.

tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
