I´m sure everyone will be super-comfortable when the servers go kaput…

I wasn’t interested in this anyway, but now? Yikes. And I’m still fearing for it’s potential playerbase at launch.
In terms of the content in the game, this makes up about 0.01% or even less, but we have dabbled in it by creating these icons in the game
It is 0.01%, but no. Just no. Please don’t.

The only way I could be less shocked was if I was vulcanised and then rigorously grounded.

He’s not wrong. Eventually no one will remember when you even could actually own a copy of a game. Everyone will be “comfortable” with it because there won’t be an alternative. I own physical copies of some stuff I played decades ago and I have no way to play those anymore. Either the computer got too fast, or the operating system no longer supports it, or the CD just got too scratched, or the manual with the installation code is gone. Some of them I simply have no interest in playing anymore.
As long as publishers are content with this type of delivery model, that’s how it’s going to be.

Sigh. There’s just no getting away from this fake AI crap is there?

Bobby’s revenge. He gets the Golden Chute and the actual employees get the boot.

It’s terrible news, but it’s a double edge sword since downsizing Act-Bliz might be good long term. Let’s hope with smaller teams we get more clear and creative visions with projects. Let’s hope the proverbial “Call of Duty Mines” cease to exist and we don’t see yearly releases of the title after this years game is released.
Let’s hope we see Activision/Blizzards back catalogue of games finally get the spotlight they deserve with proper new releases or maybe a new IP?
Lastly let’s hope we get more finished non games as a service titles.
Lay offs are never good, and I hope the severance packages or whatever Microsoft has in place for these employees help them between jobs.

Oh yeah if anyone cares or wants to see a better Game Awards show comprised of and made for game developers, seems the DICE Awards show is your thing. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain)
It’ll be streamed on February 15th.

Why is Spider-Man 2 in best game direction and not Alan Wake II?

I agree. I’m confused about that too.
(I’m also confused how plenty of other awards publications seem to put Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty into their “Best X Game” categories. It was an expansion, yeah??
Maybe it was a pretty big expansion, but I don’t recall those usually being in the running for “full new game awards” 
also maybe it’s just really good, but hey idk I haven’t played yet

Award things make up their own rules. You know like taking the main male character of a film and saying he’s a supporting role when he’s got just as much screen time as the main female.

The game was slated to release 4 days from now (granted, they could have gotten this communiqué earlier, but it’s essentially been worked on for 5 years now)
Strange how Sony/FromSoft took this long to take notice, but damn, so close to the finish line…
Ooh, one more thing: this is one of the funniest, weirdest things I’ve seen

Because mainstream mediocre hero game has a better premise than Finnish coffee fever dream, duh.

In minor Helldivers 2 news, Arrowhead has had a job opening looking for a monetization-designer for their upcoming live-service title – but in a stroke of interesting conditions, they aren’t looking to make monetization in a pay-to-win or even dreaded FOMO-Battle-Pass type way…
That’s quite the twist for wanting to include monetization these days…

I am always suspicious of overspecific denials. Might end up being some NFT stuff.
