I’m sure some of you might be scratching your head, asking yourself who the hell Digital Devolver is, especially if you're not used to the indie scene. But this publisher is responsible for supporting indie development since 2009, with Serious Sam and Hotline Miami being its call to fame. This year, they have published the likes of the manly squad Broforce, the satirical clown-hugging Dropsy, and the addictive skateboarding title OlliOlli2. You also can’t count out the recent comical release of Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star or the extended The Talos Principle: Road to Gehanna. Devolver Digital may be small compared to the other formidable nominees in the category, but it packs a mighty punch.
New data shows Xbox Cloud Gaming’s most played games match console trends—including major hits like Call of Duty.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer suggest Xbox Game Pass is no longer as important to the business as it once was.
Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.
That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.
Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?
They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)
@GhostScholar
Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.
It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.
Nintendo Switch is the most popular console for Devolver Digital, with over 9 million units sold on the platform.
Correction: handheld gaming device. Switch is not a console. Just bc you can plug into a tv doesn’t make it one. A car pulling a trailer doesn’t make it a truck.
Incorrect. The definition of a games console is an electronic device purpose built to play games. A Switch, PSP and Gameboy are handheld consoles.

You would think people would understand that the reason we use the term 'home console' is to differentiate it from 'handheld consoles', but I guess not.
