And my friends won't leave pubg, can't get roommates to join anymore, democracy is failing (wish it was a helldivers reference. It is not)
But palworld and helldivers were two of the most fun I've had this year on games. Sucks my social circle now just doesn't game like how I would like...oh well

DaMist21d ago

I'm there with you! i miss the 360/ps3 days where my circle of friends liked playing coop games.

I have almost never been able to get my friends to agree to play the same game together, they always want to play the same games all the time. Then again, I'm probably the more adventurous one amongst my friends, I just accept that I'll be playing more of these games on my own.

I'm pretty sure Vtubers and streamers are to blame for this, I know I've bought more than one or two games because I saw a vtuber/streaming having fun with it.

1400 people in a year.

they're even looking to sell some of their studios

jznrpg162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

They done f’d up.
Bought a ton of studios but have little operating income to keep these studios open and projects running. Never rely on a deal that’s not finalized.

They made the biggest mistake that you can make by counting on that deal going through.

I tell my kids all the time especially my teenage daughter never rely on money that’s suppose to come in the future.
Make sure you have it before spending it. Make sure it won’t hurt you if you do spend it.

But they made such basic mistakes that companies should know not to make and they have hurt a lot of peoples lives that depended on these jobs. They could have let someone else acquire these studios that they are ruining. I’m sure they are trying to sell some of them but they are going to get fleeced if they do. Everyone knows they are in shitty position of weakness

Whoo, I am part of a statistic. I'm making sure not to apply to any studio under Embracer, for now.
