    I think there’s also a “Netflix effect” where old games are incresingly accessible as an alternative to newer crap, kinda like (from my personal observations) how a lot of young people seem to be really fluent in old movies and TV due to streaming and YT.

    Its going to bite these publishers in the bum.

      It’s funny but I think my playstation 5is a Neflix machine and my most played game is days gone…

      For some reason I feel like nothing interesting got released so far in this generation. Nothing big from Naughty dog. T.T

    I found UFO 50 pretty creative. Maybe it’s not the problem of creativity. It’s the problem of monopolistic gaming companies run by people that don’t like games.

    Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

    It’s an abuse of how games work and what games are.

    Only legislation will fix this. If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

    I’ve played the original “Deus Ex” for years and I’m still discovering new things about it. I don’t even have to worry about Windows anymore. I can play it with Wine on Linux.

    As Tim Willis from Space Marine 2 said:

    “We don’t need to sell four million units to make it [Space Marine 2] a success,” Willits said. “There are many games, sadly, especially out of North American developers, where if you do not sell five million copies you are a failure. I mean, what business are we in where you fail if you sell less than five million?”

      I’ll say it. He’s definitely at least partially responsible for this situation that he’s complaining about now.
