The Chinese giant is the current leader in the video game market, and the European Video Game Federation points out that we must try to compete against it
MHHQ - Capcom has issued an anti-cheat patent aimed at detecting and stopping game data tampering during Monster Hunter Wilds multiplayer hunts.
In a very intriguing and interesting move, 16 Ubisoft titles can now be purchased on the Xbox PC Store. Of course, this is a first as Ubisoft PC titles have never been purchasable on the Xbox PC Store previously.
Ubisoft announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024-2025, and they're not good, but Assassin's Creed Shadows is doing well.
Three companies keep showing their true faces and telling us who they are but for some weird reason we refuse to believe them. Even when everything they show just makes their greediness even stands out more
Keep messing with the consumers and keep being greedy. Keep telling your consumers to get comfortable now owning your games and we will. You only have few IP's that gamers care about anyways so
"soon enough tencent will buy you out. They already own 49%. Keep deleting games from gamers libraries and getting sued over it instead of making offline play possible for the crew" it's sad that I believe in 10 cents more than UBI because atleast tencent knows how to run a proper business
These executives can taking millions and bonuses and stock options yet they fire those actually making the games without thinking twice. Gaming has become so greedy that their own greed will be their downfall. Companies like Capcom have realized making good quality games and treat gamers with respect
AC series started with a soul but now it's just a soulless empty option world with icons filling the game map. They make their own games so grindy so that they can see the XP boosters to even the odds. As a gamer in my 40's all I want to know is when did gaming just stop being about Fun and all about greed. Double XP weekends selling cosmetics and dances. I use to be a big sports game guy when I was in my 20's the other day I wanted to play NBA 2k and after doing some deep research I realized the best NBA game was 2k17 and NBA 2k25 at $9.79 I couldn't pull the trigger on that 2k25 for how egregious the micro transactions were. So much of the fun is behind a pay wall
When you don't disclose units sold... and your stock goes down... how is this doing well?
Ubishit burned so many bridges with fans, releasing filler dreck that was purposefully designed to push you towards micro-trash-actions. It didn't have to be this way, they could have respected us players more, instead of making players waste countless hours of their life just to see stupid "experience points and resources numbers go up" and attempt to profit off us in such a disrespectful way. I stopped supporting them a long time ago. Keep burning bridges, and keep burning your company from within.
I was told that the only way to stop Tencent is to allow Microsoft to buy up the industry.
Tencent seems to be of the belief of buy up any and everything regardless of quality. To be honest, with the way China's economy is starting to crack because of the real estate bubble they put themselves in combined with the aging workforce, I don't see the Chinese government being able to protect Tencent the way they normally do.
I think eventually all those small to mid level (and even the bigger ones) that they bought either full or partial ownership in are going to end up in a fire sale the way THQ did many years ago.
Again, this is just me speculating. I'm not some guru. Just me personally trying to look forward.
I'd rather see a company that will keep hundreds of games that were multiplatform multiplatform. Not a company that is gonna take them exclusively hundreds of games which also sold better on the competitors platform. Alright back to star ocean
But how do we stop the American giant?
Total distraction from what Microsoft are doing. Don't be misdirected away from the real issue. Tencent isn't spending 80 billion buying up publishers. Let me know when that happens. But we know who is dangerous to the game industry. Don't be fooled.
