If San Francisco appears to be even geekier than usual this week, there’s a reason: The annual Game Developers Conference is taking over the Moscone Center today through Friday.
AllThingsD will be there, and we’re keeping an eye on two questions in particular: How is the business of mobile games changing, and how are the makers of consoles and other physical media responding to mobile’s ascendance?
Only a day ago, Helldivers 2 community manager Spitzerfx seemed to be in the clear, but they have officially been demoted after Sony controversy.
From a business standpoint I can understand why they did that…but man, he stood up for the community and thats huge.
Title "seemingly fired after controversy"
Preview text "he seems to be in the clear but demoted"
He did an amazing job and I hope he lands somewhere good too. He's a hero someone who cared about gamers.
Standing up for his own company from a bigger company then gets demoted for doing his job as a community manager. At least he's still employed.
I hope Sony doesn't buy Arrowhead. They need to let them be. No corporate medlings and docking someone's pay for standing up form the ppl.
Wtf is going on with these companies?
Composers Elben Schutte and Daniel Caleb from Pressure Cooker have written a medieval-flavored score for the new sim Manor Lords.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
I really hope this whole mobile games boom is temporary. Cause if it continues it could lead to another industry crash like in the 80s.
