For many years industry analysts have been predicting the demise of PC gaming, suggesting that the market is dwindling and that consumers are no longer willing to entertain the often over-complicated process of installing a new videogame product. However, while the retail market may have saturated, the PC sector as a whole is in a very healthy state according to Paradox Interactive’s CEO, Fredrik Wester.
Today Paradox Interactive announced that it's parting ways with its subsidiary studio Harebrained Schemes effective January 1, 2024.
I mean it wasn't that intelligent to begin with, release it exclusive to the system that doesn't buy games. Plus it was on gamepass if I'm not mistaken. It's been a minute since I had mine on cause I just wrapped up chrono cross on ps5 but remember looking forward to checking this out on the Xbox. Try it on xbox if I liked it I would've bought on ps
dude go somewhere with that hating on xbox crap. you just admit yourself you wasnt buy the game on xbox , you played it on gamepass and buy it on ps5. you sounds dumb . you silent on forspoken and FF16 didnt sale good. and many other games. keep eating that foot in your mouth
Ff16 sold fairly well.
I prefer to buy on the console who isn't openly trying to kill physical media sorry for your feelings. Ms has been trying to kill physical for some time. Nintendo and sony are the ones still working with smaller publishers. So yes I will buy a game preferably on ps when possible. You act like I just admitted to murder lol. Relax
@shinoff2183
lies. the ceo said himself FF16 didnt sale good. stop the cap. and you can buy them games on xbox. so you full of crap. and what you mean Nintendo and sony are the ones still working with publishers.???? what the hell are you talking about dude xbox works with small publishers. you trying to move the goalpost to fix your narrative. so gonna ignored sony ps5 all digital system huh . rumor next nintendo system will be a digital also with two version.
Really xbox works with smaller publishers. I've heard numerous times xboxs minimum print is to high which is why you don't see smaller publishers like limited run games, special reserve etc work with xbox physical releases. I've read as high as 50k meanwhile Sony and Nintendo have had prints of 1k. Some wonder why smaller publisher haven't worked with ms on smaller releases. That's exactly why.
I assume you just don't know wtf your talking about. And again as someone who prefers physical video games why would or why should I give my hard earned money to a company who has since the announcement of xbox one been out to get rid of physical games. Gtfoh
Far as final fantasy 16 it's been stated It sold fine, would of sold more on pc sure, but it wouldnt of sold well on xbox, we know this, thank you ms. Ms admitted to games bot selling well on that platform already. Here's a newsflash to ya though psssss I didn't really like ff16 much anyway. So that's cute of you.
To clarify maybe a little I'm talking about smaller publishers that produce physical games. Not just any publisher
Paradox Interactive appears to be about to reveal something mysterious next week. It could be a new Civilization-style game, or something else entirely.
Besides its 11 active games, Swedish video game publisher Paradox Interactive currently has a staggering 13 brand-new titles in development.
digital download for pc games are ok but the retail market is dead. When i went to gamestop, there was a little shelf all the way in the back of the store. lol i think there was like 10 or 15 games on there. So pc games should not be released on a disc anymore except mmos. When the last time you saw a PC game in the NPD?
The last time I bought a retail PC game is when Starcraft 2 came out and I bought it from Newegg with a video card. Before that i couldnt tell you and I don't miss it one bit.
Last disc game I bought was new vegas for the special edition. Digital download is just convenient for pc, especially because it is usually 10 dollars less than the disc version. On console I still don't like the idea of digital download though.
last pc game I bought reatil was Battlefield 2 when it came out in 2004 lol. it was the CD version too.
