@GigaFlare “the Japanese market is a relative minority for global gaming sales”
If you mean by Ubisoft’s game sales, sure. But Japan is in 3rd place of the global gaming market, behind China and USA, and way ahead of most of Europe.
That has to be the biggest BS reason of the century. MS had freaking $70 billions to buy studios left and right, and they can’t spare some $1 - 2 bn to market their games?!?! That’s hilarious 😂
Imagine the gaming “journalists” face who constantly berated Stellar Blade when they saw this news. Shift Up is now worth more than all of them combined 😂
Exoprimal was a good concept with bad execution. It could’ve been something like a futuristic Jurassic Park or HZD. But no, let’s make it a live service….
Layoffs in the game industry are common. This is not a post 🐼🎤 phenomenon. It’s just that they were not reported as often as nowadays, unless it came from a high profile studio.
After a game is finished, most studios don’t even know what to do next, especially if their game was not financially viable. Obviously they have to cut people off to maintain the rest until a new project comes along.
Problem is that some high profile studios wipe out entire divisions to stay afloat because they got too ambitious and started hiring left and right. A shame indeed, but again, quite a common occurence.
@ShogunRok I played the demo on Switch and it ran pretty bad, aside from the fact that the intro story was very lineal for my tastes. Is the PS5 version really much more stable? And when does the game stop handholding you so much?
@DonJorginho
1. James Gunn had to face that same outcome by the movie industry over a decade old tweet, only to turn tail and hire him back. If by “internal investigation”, you mean using the same rumor source, that’s not a really good investigation.
2. “ innocent till proven guilty has been warped into something that is weaponised by the far right to defend their heroes like Trump”. Innocent until proven guilty is a constitutional right, it’s YOU who are making it abut Trump or other ideological crap. You are using that argument in vain.
3. where I live, we have a saying that reads “don’t preach morals in underwear”. you want to preach good, then be and show good. your pfp is not helping on that front.
I tend to categorize a hard game as either “challenging but satisfying” and “just frustrating to play”. I put the game on hard mode (though not the hardest). If that mode is so frustrating that I have to change difficulty to something much easier, then it was not a good design to begin with.
A massive disrespect. I was treated the same at a company that fired me. They made me a farewell party, as if I was the one who quit; it felt horrible. Never let a company do that to you.
@__jamiie “in a few days” could mean next week or two weeks later. The relevancy of the other conferences would be gone by then. News fade out quickly, unfortunately. Xbox, PlayStation and Ubisoft are what’s relevant now, and Nintendo missed the train.
@__jamiie “So why not hold off until that's happened?” By the time Nintendo finally shows its Direct, everyone would’ve forgotten or moved on from the SGF week.
@__jamiie had Nintendo made their presentation within the days of the SGF, the sure no problem. But Nintendo loves to be Nintendo and always swim against the current

Re: There's Already Concern Over Concord's Player Count as Open Beta Begins
Concord would’ve worked much better with a story campaign like the trailer made us believe. But as a live service only, it’s extremely uninteresting.
