The need for growth at all costs is what got the industry in the crap shape it's in.Having digital be a part of a multi-faceted industry is fine, but if you try to push everyone away from physical, o...

@gamingkoala: The western version of TikTok is already banned in China.

@gamespotter_198: I'll let you know what he means:He hates diversity, and thinks that it's the sole reason we're here, as opposed to the masses of soulless trash that's been getting released most of ...

@valvarez: Seriously, even Square Enix and EA learned the lessons needed when Octopath Traveler and Jedi Survivor succeeded (even if the latter needed a fair bit of post-release support).

@redviperofdorne: It's obvious to everyone but the incompetents that run WB. Even EA seems to have figured it out, if the Dead Space remake and Jedi Survivor are any indication. Not every game can b...

@ives74: Well, at least when these short-term hits wear off, the market will still have room for indies, new companies, and the ones that stuck with the long-term strategies. Companies like Capcom an...

@nickpeck36: The problem is that the so-called "AAA" market is indeed volatile, but it's because major western publishers in particular obsessively chased higher fidelity to the detriment of all else,...

@fbplayer1086: And of course they fail to realize that most of the mobile games market is dominated by a few companies, and that the pool is full.

Do these people think mobile is any less volatile?EA learned the hard way that you can't exist only on live services when most of their efforts fell by the wayside.

Great to see the game soaring. It was a rough launch, but clearly there the will to make something amazing. Just goes to show that a splash of love can elevate a rough game to something that truly s...

@BeefoTheBold: The endings are great in this game. They're just incredibly depressing is all, which is to be expected, given the genre.

Why isn't MS talking about game sales? Is it cannibalizing game sales that hard that this is on Game Pass?

Sounds like they mostly took the Link's Awakening approach here - touch up the graphics, but not too much, and use the original localization as much as possible.

@kamikazekae: I was about to say, I know this new version has a difficulty selection screen at the start, but I've not played the game...

Nolan is RIGHT. Between things being pulled and the complete fragmentarion of the streaming market, physical is the absolute best way to get movies.We're being pushed back to a cable TV type of syste...

@naydazng7: Just about. Even on PC, Valve kills them in terms of brand loyalty. They're going to talk up Game Pass so they don't look like they're running with their tails between their legs when th...

@clockworkengine: Correction - the 360 was as great as it was because Sony's hubris made the PS3 completely unpalatable to most at first. Had the focus been on a game console and not winning the hd m...

@bdrtfm: I imagine that was more the result of not being willing to reciprocate. I doubt MS ever allows PS+/PSNow on Xbox.

@ives74: Squandering seems to be the operative word here. Is there a ton of stuff on Hulu that isn't elsewhere already? The fragmentation of the streaming services is getting harder to keep up with.

@cyrezeraser: You say that, but it's not like there's not already multiple services. Hell, since Disney bought out 20th Century Fox, we've seen several pop up. If anything, this seems to be cleaning...
