The current Switch still selling as much as it does proves that performance doesn’t really matter.

Didn’t you know? Portugal is part of Eastern Europe.

Krafton did say they wanted a Hi-Fi Rush 2, as far as I know.

Say about them what you will, but good on them for stepping in and preventing Microsoft from shutting the studio down.

It’s a gift link?

Maybe your add-ins ‘cleaned’ the link somehow, but if you use the full one you can read the article.

It’s going to be based on user votes, and given just how popular that game was I don’t think it unlikely to win.

Black Myth Wukong had one of the highest concurrent player counts of Steam of all time. The game was very popular in China.

Meanwhile Astrobot’s sales figures were lacklustre, according to some reports.

I largely agree, but the interests have gotten misaligned. Back then it was the threat of regulation which changed things up, I think the governments should do a little more of that.

but… Looks like they don’t audit so good, if this article is evidence

That’s the whole issue with it being a lobby group. It makes them a ton of money, so they are incentivised against making a rating for it because that would draw more attention/limit sales.

And that’s where the whole government lobbying part comes in.

Not entirely sure about the European PEGI, but the American ESRB is funded by the same companies that it regulates. It was created after the outcry about violent games and was the industry self-regulating to avoid the government getting more involved.

It is a lobby group for the industry, for better and in this case very much for worse.

I assume PEGI is little different.

The “EA Originals” that they have put out have mostly been fairly solid, Hazelight’s games especially so.

Eternals of Aveum had its fair share of flaws, but it was a complete package.

Though, because it is EA, I cannot help but wonder if/when they’ll pull the switcharoo

Might as well add those details to your comment.

Whatever the car in Distance is called

this place simply isn’t big enough to have the niche communities

Yeah. Wanted to recommend Lemmy to a friend, but the few topics they were mainly interested in had little to no engagement.

But you just said

Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia.

It is an option.

Clearly it isn’t working well enough for them.

You can donate to Mozilla.

Perhaps they should’ve put that more front and center. But if they add a prominent donate button the people on here would probably lose their shit too.

It does have back buttons, which is why it’s unlikely to launch in the west as Scuf (owned by Corsair) is a major patent troll when it comes to those. That’s also the reason for the original Steam controller no longer being released.

The Hori one is launching at the end of this month, if I recall correctly. I might look into importing it once it does.

Ah, like so. I thought you were referring to the article on the Patreon website with your initial comment, rather than the article in the post itself.

You’re right, the article is wrong. “Gross revenue” makes no sense.

Which is contradictory to the first line of the linked essay.

Is it though?
Current sign-ups are likely through Patreons own payment system, which will stay as it is. It would be like signing up in the web version, then going on to use the iOS app. That wouldn’t suddenly subtract 30% from a payment Apple has no control over.

I think the Halo show could’ve been much more interesting too if they focused on someone not the main character of the games.

But no, gotta keep the most recognizable character

Nordic Games bought what remained of THQ back in the day when the latter went bankrupt. (THQ used to be comparable to the likes of EA and Ubisoft before they made some poor decisions)

The holdings company behind THQ Nordic rebranded into Embracer some years ago.
