That’s a funny way to spell microtransactions.
another out of touch company to avoid the games of I guess
That’s okay. The indie scene has plenty of amazing titles to keep anyone busy for a long time!
Volatile
Read: We don’t want to put the time and resources into making quality games when we can prey on whales in shitty Skinner box mobile apps.
It’s insane that a company can miss the point by this much…
Just make a good product, do everything you can to avoid fleecing your player base, and they will come. Then you can add microtransactions that people can buy. You gotta earn that shit through merit of a good game.

There also isn’t any guarantee that a quality game will actually sell well, especially if the dev takes a risk and creates something new instead of releasing the 14th installment in a well-established series. It sucks but this is what it looks like when you have gigantic businesses steering video game development.
Translation: making very shit console games gives little returns, whereas making mobile f2p shit is not only cheaper, but with better returns.
WB: Hey, I hear this is where we get the money printers?
Looking forward to them getting smashed by Fortnite and Evony instead of Baldur’s Gate and Zelda.
I hope all the big scummy game development companies fuck off and go ruin other things. Indie games are often the only half decent games these days anyway.
@MyNamesNotRobert @alyaza funny how you spell publisher.
what the fuck is discovery time warner even doing besides destroying the brand value of warner brothers and hbo?
i didn’t think it was possible to be worse than aol time warner
I look forward to celebrating the death of “AAA” games and the rise of independent studios.
“live and work and build and pay in that world in an ongoing basis”
There, that’s more what they’re envisioning.
A company focusing on f2p and mobile. Haven’t we already been through this like around 10 years ago? I don’t recall that working out too well the last time.
Nintendo are about the only big publisher I would spend money on nowadays outside of indies. The enshittification is ramping up too much everywhere else.
