Microsoft has sent its final submission to the CMA citing reasons why its acquisition of Activision Blizzard should not be blocked.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.
It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
CD Projekt Red is confident in the transition from its in-house Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5 for the next Witcher game.
My main concern with UE5, is that some developers have resorted to very low resolutions in order to enable the advanced feature set of this engine and sustain the frame rate.
In open world games, especially those with excellent graphics, we cant realistically expect 60fps from consoles (PS5 pro set aside as we do not know exactly how performant it will be) without huge compromises.
Thus the new Witcher game will probably require more powerful consoles to experience it the way the developers intended and in that sense, it reminds me of Cyberpunk situation.
It was released in current gen systems albeit in dire state (even PS4 Pro and Xbox One X suffered) requiring next generation consoles to achieve a desirable (and still not ideal) result.
I am quietly confident that they are going to make one hell of a jaw dropping witcher considering what they achieved with cyberpunk, i reckon they will bring a new level of what can be expected from ue5 BUT i reckon it will be a ps6/rtx 5090 game.
I wonder how many members of the CMA will end up with nice exec jobs in MS after this?.. just like what happened to OFWAT after water companies hired the regulators and gave them very nice roles in private companies if they weakened the rules for them.
MS is one of the worlds biggest lobbyists, not because they like to give money away but because they get to buy the rule makers, this deal was already decided when MS went crying to their mouthpieces in the Tory party.
Never forget MS has spent $80 billion to remove games from gamers and wants to mirror the subscription services like Disney that is currently destroying the film industry.
What change in circumstances?
Scrooge Mc Microsoft handing out tjose bags of money is their change of circumstances
They don’t even wanna make AAA games, they just wanna own western IPs to secure a foothold.
Let them make games, they already have the most studios solely through mass acquisitions.
