This is what console gaming is coming to. It will be all PC.. You can have a general purpose PC, or a PC built to run games and little else like this or the steam machine. Or you can have a PS5 that only runs sony games, doesn't seem that appealing when put that way.

I don't mean anti-fascist. Antifa is not equal to anti fascist. Antifa is a loosely organized global movement, that claims to be anti-fascist but really is just a bunch of thugs and bullies who like to hurt people who have different views than them. Which ironically makes them more fascistic...

I've heard that the cinematics were outsourced to a completely different VFX company. But no, I have no interest in online shooters, especially ones catering to antifa aesthetics.

I don't mind paying full price for brand new games that seem great. But not for sloppy seconds of Sony. I'm not comfortable paying more than $20-25 for a port of a 2-3 year old game. Had they brought them to PC day and date, I'd have no problem paying $70 or even $80. The only thing that...

This might exactly be a panic reaction to slowing HW sales.

Subsidizing hardware just means they loose big on every player who only buys the console for the exclusives. Exactly the type who they exclude by not porting to PC.

So they basically told us don't buy a console if you have a PC, but then want to go back to the way things were? Sorry, there is no going back. That ship has sailed.

I wouldn't call this a gyration. In my opinion the AAA gaming industry has been declining for at least 10 years, with fewer (SP) titles being released, and even fewer of those being great. Even if the sales don't reflect that decline, because sales are influenced by many outside factors as well...

That's exactly what I was responding to. I thought you were listing examples of the "dime a dozen" good single player games. Sorry, I misunderstood. They are part of the economy not the industry. I'm sorry I just can't think of indie developers or mompop businesses as "the industry".

I didn't say it doesn't or that it does appeal to me, If you paused before knee-jerk reacting you'd have noticed that Elden Ring doesn't appeal to me yet I accept that it is considered a good game objectively. And indies are not part of the gaming industry, isn't that why they are called...

Space Marine 2 - mediocre game ARC Raiders - not single player Battlefield 6 - not single player Elden Ring - I'll allow this even though I hate soulslikes Black Myth Wukong - Not made by the western gaming industry BG3 - Indie developer Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 - Not made by the western...

R U SRS? one game a year is dime a dozen? Maybe not even that.

Good games still sell, solution: Make good games. And make games that actually appeal to the gaming demographic, not for social media virtue points. In fact I can share a secret: The less you virtue signal the more your game will appeal to gamers.

Stick a forknite in it :D

I said it a few days ago, XBOX is a dead brand, this reaffirms that even more.
