A new report reveals the Plant vs Zombies creator George Fan was fired due to him not wanting to make PvZ2 pay-to-win.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
Well good for him for standing up for what he believes in.
This folks right here, is why we dont hear a lot of developers talking against it. This is just pathetic of Ea
FU EA
If that is true, then it just proves everybody right when it comes to EA. They have done nothing good for gaming in years now. It's got to the point where i think we would be better without them.
Why you let EA buy you out now this is the price sadly
Valve's Gabe was right when there were rumored of EA wanting to buy valve Gabe said something almost the lines of Germany bought out by EA told and be fired in few years
EA I really do mean it I hope all your games suffer badly otherwise every publisher will become like you
Pandemic suffered the same fate
Good god. EA never ceases to amaze what a cancerous pile of dogs**t they are. F**k EA, and everyone that works there.
PS. You rock for sticking to your guns George Fan.
Glad all this is exposing EA it's a corporate company buying out potential little companies and finding ways of squeezing money out of gamers until it's done then they disband them later on.
