Hertigen Auctions is the same company that sold Mario 64 for a juge amount and made a press release. If memory serves it was the owner who sold the game. To himself!
He made a handfull of realy good movies in Sweden. Funny and with a fair bit of heart.
I heard a short interview with him on The radio. He is a gamer and he loves how games being an active medium draws the player into The story in a way the passive medium of movies does.
The axeing of self-owned studios is a non-issue. They are too small to sustain such things, unlike Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. And I dont think anyone ever got into Stadia for those low-budget games.
I DO like Stadia as a service however. Internet in sweden is dirt cheap. 30$ for 150mbit and unlimited data.
I get zero noticecable lag while playing Cyberpunk and Destiny 2. And I got a 7 year old PC that even back then was midrange at best, so playing Cyberpunk (shitty launch aside) was very welcome. And it was nice to be able to go from the PC to the couch and just click play and start playing within 70 seconds.
My biggest gripe with Stadia is that they have too few games and too high prices.
Very many of these seem to have turned from almost unplayable to be polished as much as The game CAN be.
I finished Cyberpunk about 10 days ago and I very much look forward to starting two or three new characters to see more stylrs of gameplay and ending.... And Ill probably do so when The game is polished... in 2022 :)
