In a recent interview, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot talked about the French publisher's future plans. It may come as a surprise to many, but they are still considering a merger with Electronic Arts,....
Xbox's handling of the marketing for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is casting a huge doubt over the future of its developer, Ninja Theory.
The lack of worldwide availability of Arrowhead Studios' Helldivers 2 on Steam is due to restrictions from PlayStation, not Valve.
To be clear though, Steam does not restrict use of their platform in any country. So, to say that Sony delisted games in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and other similar regions is disingenuous. The taliban doesn't allow video games in Afghanistan.
There are many restrictions in many countries. Painting this as a false dichotomy of Sony or Valve ignores all other layers of what is going on.
Just be honest in your journalism about what countries are left out. Those countries should a) have internet access b) allow the game.
There's literally almost 170 countries and mentioned 3, and Taliban banned PUBG only, do you seriously think that these countries that had games all this time, suddenly decided to ban games when Sony wanted to put PSN as a restriction
Sony would be stupid to let valve run the show. They would be bad at business if they did that.
Companies, particularly public companies like Microsoft, need to grow.
i mean its pretty simple, they spent close to 30 billion in acquiring activision, they thought they'd make it bk no problem, and that didnt happen.
its just shit that because of MS's miscalculation alot of people lost their jobs.
They are going to use AI for a large portion of the game development process. Upper management need bonuses and the shareholders need more money. So, people will lose their jobs.
worst move ever for us (the consumer). Crappy versions of the Tom Clancy Series and so on. Ouch!
monopoly here I come.
I know from my personal experience, the smaller a company or firm is the harder they try to make their products top quality. A merge would not be good for us gamers because the quality of games would go down and the quantity would go up.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 EA YOU ARE THE DEVIL!! :'(
If this happens, say goodbye to the Splinter Cell games, Ghost Recon games and Rainbow Six games. Ubisoft may as well stop making games if this happens, because nobody will be buying them (imo).
