Where do Codemasters get the cash from?

Skate-AK1610d ago

Guessing the yearly F1 games. Dirt is pretty big too.

neutralgamer19921610d ago

Code masters have are wealthy developer

neutralgamer19921609d ago

I meant to say they are quite rich. They sold 50% to one of the richest companies in India so their parent company is faulty rich

Reliance bought 50% of code masters in 2010

Retroman1610d ago (Edited 1610d ago )

Codemasters should Acquire NFS maybe we could get it back on original formula again.

by the way Happy Thanksgiving guys.

USMC_POLICE1610d ago

Dude heat is a huge step in the right direction.

sprinterboy1609d ago (Edited 1609d ago )

Forget acquiring nfs, but instead make a game to compete and blow nfs out the water.
Their is certainly a market there for another nfs type game but actually done right..
Edit: nfs has turned into a shite fast and furious TV game spin off, that's why they've been shite for the last 10 years, lost its identity of actually being a nfs game.

AuraAbjure1609d ago

Well the game awards 2019 nominated two of their games for best racing game 2019 so Codemasters aren't exactly slackers.

sprinterboy1609d ago

Codemasters do some great racers for sure.
I live within 20 miles of the devs in Leamington Spa, still hoping for that game tester job haha.
I think they should get Paul rustchynsky to head up the new studio and game imo.

Nacho_Z1610d ago

That was more than slightly mad wasn't it.

Applejack1610d ago

Wow, I completely forgot about that thing! I bet they’re hoping most people do too.

2ndhandcorn1610d ago

Wow big news there very cool .

xTonyMontana1610d ago

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers17h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing13h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H913h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola9h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66912h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle12h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
