Whether or not Super Mario Run is worth a purchase depends on the player. Anyone looking for a full length side-scroller for their mobile device will be sorely disappointed. This isn’t that and Nintendo never said it would be. On the other hand, ample respect must be given for skipping microtransactions and just selling the thing straight up for a reasonable price. They could have easily time gated lives, charged for coin boosts and other dastardly things that would have racked up the dough. This isn’t even to mention that the short length is packed with quality. Because of that, Super Mario Run is absolutely worth playing.
Capcom is updating Games For Windows Live (GFWL) titles on Steam to once again make them available for purchase on the digital storefront.
Zelnick and Slatoff have received a $25m bonus for their management fund after sacking 550 people from Take Two Interactive.
I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.
CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.
That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
In a time when Rockstar has forgotten everything else except GTA and RDR, it's about time the developer got back to some of its gems.
Wonder what happened to the leaked medieval game that they were working on ... hope that's still on going and gets released sometime after GTA VI
Seeing as how it's been like 12yrs between releases, i don't think taking even more time is a good decision for the series
So make one GTA every human generation instead of every other console generation?
Come on...
