The employees being treated better under MS is probably the only positive about a trillion dollar conglomerate purchasing multiple of the industry’s largest third party publishers in the industry’s largest purchase ever.
This acquisition doesn’t benefit the average gamer in any actually good way
It’s not even a Nintendo Curve (They might have a stronger curve), but the vast majority of the time these large review sites are all in the pockets of publishers (event invites, interviews, exclusive first looks, review copies etc) and in order to keep that gravy train going so their review company doesn’t fold means to not bite the hand that feeds too much, even if you have to lie.
Sad day when gamers are cheering for a multi trillion dollar conglomerate buying up some of the gaming industry’s largest publishers of the last two decades.
Video games aren’t in danger of becoming a monopoly,
Microsoft, a trillion dollar tech conglomerate, has just purchased multiple of the entire video game’s largest publishers. It is entirely in danger of becoming a monopoly
there are so many QOL improvements they can’t really be treated as the same game.
there’s a few, but it definitely doesn’t make it a superior version or anything. Honestly Bluepoint did what Bluepoint does best and fucked with the lightning and color palette too much and the PS5 remake of Demon’s Souls loses a lot of what made the original’s aesthetic so great.
The PS3 version of DS is better than the PS5 one.
That’s a great idea, why is no one talking about this?
Because why would you buy a digital PS5 and a blu ray drive when you can just buy the disc PS5 and not have to deal with an external blu ray drive?
The best Disney games have all been licensed games by Square Enix, BioWare, Capcom, etc.
That’s why they’re going to want to buy those studios.
Yeah how dare consumers expect feature parity with games on a device that Microsoft said require feature parity so the same product gets the same features regardless of which one you buy.
That’s…bad for some reason.
This just in: guy whose job it is to sell you a product really wants you to know the product will be good so you’ll pre order it
800p, not 720p, but yes
It’s just a big screen strictly for remote play
Really stupid that a company can be forced to do business with someone they don’t want to do business with. Epic is a stain on gaming and anything else they tried to claw their way into, and would rather be slimy anti competitive trogladites led by their manchild Tim Sweeney trying to steal peices of the pie in a market rather than actually provide honest to goodness products and services that people want to use.
EGS is 6 years in and is still a complete failure on any competition metrics, and yet they want to employ the same anti competititve practices on iOS? Good luck I say, computer literate people don’t even use EGS, imagine how many people will forego sideloading on iOS while they have to pay to maintain their new app store.
Didn’t they already offer a “Epic Games Store” on Android since that’s open and allows sideloading already? And Android is an OS more prone to sideloading and that store still failed miserably.
