Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming Writes: "The year 2021 is shaping up to be one of gaming’s biggest and hopeful years in quite some time and for good measure. With the new generation of consoles recently introduced, many blockbuster titles that are expected to release, as well as, games that are speculated to be revealed throughout the year, video game enthusiasts around the globe are anticipating this to be one of the most fruitful years in the medium’s history. No matter what you play on, 2021 will surely be a year to remember by many and in the case of Nintendo, this might very well be their biggest year to date and there is quite a bit that we would love to see from the gaming giant from now to next December."
By putting Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Microsoft plans to gauge its growth, pricing, and monetization changes, at the cost of less game sales.
If they have follow up games that are bangers, then this strategy will work. But if it’s Call of Duty followed another dead period then it won’t last.
When the game does not hit 1 Billion in revenue in under two weeks they will wonder why and the next thing you know; Season Updates will no longer be free.
subscribers go up, execs celebrate win, get bonus, price goes up, subscribers go down,
execs dont care, got their bonus,
If it works CEOs and shareholders get a payday and if it doesn't even more studios get closed by MS so CEOs and shareholders get a payday.
It will sell on PC & PS but as long as COD is for rent on Gamepass it will not sell well on the XB platform. Most folks such as myself that like COD just for the campaign would rather rent it for that month instead of paying $70 plus tax for the game.
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.
Man this studio got hit with another round? it sucks there know for dead by daylight not saying that its a bad game because its not but because its from 2016 and this team has tossed a game out almost every year sense then but each game got worse and worse sales/notice.

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
Unless it's xenoblade x I don't want anymore wii u ports/remaster

And for their focus to be more on "big" experiences like BotW or Mario Odyssey. Released right at the start, these are their largest, most ambitious & interesting games on the system. To me, all other Nintendo games have felt small and, in some instances, outdated in comparison.
And finally show off those games you teased with title cards over 3 years ago. It's getting a little ridiculous.
