Since its launch, Blizzard's new team based shooter Overwatch has attracted 7 million players in a mere 10 days, with brisk sales across all platforms.
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Really looking forward to hearing more about the Gothic remake and Titan Quest II. I hope both games make it out this year and don't get delayed.
I'm expecting Red Faction. Maybe a few others. They claim to have many things in development.
Blizzard community is strong. + you get free WoW pet or smth if you buy OW. =P
overrated and overhyped. Can't spell overwatch without it lol i think i said that right. Aaah you guys know what i'm getting at. Saywaaaaaat.
Did we really expect anything else? This is Blizzard we're talking about ...
Haters gonna hate but ultimately it's sold that well for a reason, it's one of the most fun and polished shooters in years. Sure it could do with more content but that will come in time and unlike other games with poor content releases (looking at you Battlefront) Blizzard aren't trying to sell you the game a second time with a season pass.
This is HUGE for a new IP and in just 10 days.
