BY PHANTOM: “Before the dark times, before the empire”, LucasArts was the development and publishing arm of LucasFilm. They were responsible for the interactive side of the Star Wars franchise – and by interactive I mean, of course, video games. LucasArts made many excellent games over the years in addition to some downright bantha fodder.
Doing a little digging online, it becomes obvious that working for LucasArts was not always a rosy and seamless relationship. The need for the lore aspect of their games to be just right was something of a sticking point and seemed to hold up and even cause major development problems for some games. That said, they were able to get many games published on a whole array of systems over the years.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.

Yeaaa... no. It's cool to say that you got it running as a bragging right, but this is completely unusable. I like how he hits the screen while trying to type! X'D
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
