From VGC: "Former Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aimé has endorsed blockchain for gaming, stating that he’s “a believer” in the technology.
A blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions that allows users to own and sell digital items as NFTs.
Numerous game companies have already started selling digital items as NFTs, including Konami and Atari, though this has attracted criticism from some due to the format’s high carbon footprint and what many perceive to be cynical implementation."
XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns director Jake Solomon has founded a new studio to make a life sim game. Here's a new interview with him.
Wccftech interviewed Nathan Yu from Inworld AI to discuss the dynamic NPC tech's applications to games as well as potential issues like costs.
Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."
im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal
Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.
Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.
She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.
One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.
disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds
imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
Oh Reggie...
Wtf, man…
I don’t care if they add blockchain to this game as I don’t play these types of games but you will definitely piss off a good chunk of the people that do like it . NFT , Blockchain isn’t needed and especially not wanted in gaming .
Can they please just stop with all this blockchain/NFT in games bullshit. Nobody wants it. Nobody thinks it’s a good idea accept big wigs trying to get money out of their loyal customers any way they can.
I rather the next game come with a feature where each copy gets a completely unique villager instead
