It’s a dip, not a drop. Maybe you want to mitigate the sensationalist headline.

What’s the difference? Is a dip not a drop?

Helix,
@Helix@feddit.de avatar

Generally, “dip” carries the connotation that there will be a rebound, or a return to the original position. A “drop” however would mean that this would hurt the company in the long run.

Zorque,

So calling it a dip is basically assuming something that is not yet proven true, while calling it a drop is merely stating what has happened so far.

Gold_E_Lox,

that’s not at all what op said??

these words contain contextual clues that allow an individual to hopefully understand a situation more clearly.

i think the stock market might be a bit too much for you at the moment.

Helix,

Basically, stock markets are based on predictions. If it is likely a stock will continue to fall, it is called a drop. You can not know if it’s a dip or a drop in advance because rising and falling stocks are always relative to the rest of the environment. So calling it a drop would be not wrong, but an unlikely prediction.

Alteon, do gaming w SteamWorld Build underperformed, says publisher Thunderful

I’m sorry, but what did you expect? You can’t possibly think people that were massive fans of your Metroidvania game were going to suddenly love your city builder.

It’d be like if Call of Duty decided to build a Tower Defense game.

And not even a particularly great city builder at that.

There’s a quote by Miyamoto Shigeru that comes to mind here. “A delayed game will eventually be good, but a bad game will forever be bad.”

RGB3x3,

Actually, I think the quote was “bitches be trippin’ if they think we gonna put this shit out before it’s good.”

LMFAO

The switch 2 isn’t even out yet and I already hate it.

Exusia,
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed. If a game like zelda totk can run on the switch there’s plenty of life left and we don’t need a switch 2.

Bonehead,

We didn't need a WiiU either, but it was the testbed for what became the Switch. I say let them showcase some new features.

520,

Totk can barely run on the Switch. It is pretty much up against the limits of what can be done on that hardware.

Ohhh noooo not the shares!

Won’t someone think of the poor billionaires!

Hildegarde, do gaming w Nintendo shares drop following Switch 2 delay reports

Stock traders who do not have any information about nintendo’s plans beyond the rumors in the press have sold shares in response to rumors in the press about the switch 2.

nothing is confirmed until something is confirmed

Omgarm, do gaming w Nintendo shares drop following Switch 2 delay reports

Because some people wanted to cash in on the rumoured release, nothing too interesting.

I wouldn’t want to buy an expansion from the people who stole Disco Elysium anyway.

@Glitchington@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, this seems like the business equivalent of a slap in the face to the original devs.

BarrierWithAshes,
@BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social avatar

The whole thing is such a clusterfuck. I've never played it but I can sympathize with how the fans have been jerked around.

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

I you are into adventure games and/or like the idea of a story heavy rpg without combat I wholeheartedly recommend you trying it.

BarrierWithAshes,
@BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social avatar

I've tried several games like it. Arcanum being one of the most similar but I just can't get into that style, no matter how many times I've tried lol. Same reason I won't play Planescape: Torment. Just not for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Aqarius,

It’s not very much like Arcanum, though. Arcanum and Planescape are moer or less straight RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a variant of a point and click adventure.

yuriy,

It’s a point and click puzzle game with rpg elements, that’s how I’ve been explaining it

dumpsterlid,

I really wanted to get into planescape torment because I have heard amazing things about the writing and I have played decently far into the beginning (escaping from the body morgue complex into city) but the whole damn game is just grey and beige and I couldn’t take it after awhile lol.

BarrierWithAshes,
@BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social avatar

I'm sure its got an incredible story and I'd love it if I actually sat down but im in the same boat. Just not interested.

papabobolious,

I sympathise with them, but played it without any insight into any drama. It’s one of the best games I’ve played.

100_percent_a_bot,

If anything the employees getting fired and the project being shitcanned adds another layer of social commentary

BustinJiber,

Still do not understand how this wasn’t hostile takeover.

@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

This studio must have pissed off someone very powerful to be targeted and dismantled like this.

Did the old guys even got to start a new studio and a spiritual successor?

LoamImprovement,

I don’t think they would want to deal with this shit again, and I wouldn’t blame them. I’m just going to be content with the fact we got one good game.

They have 20k employees

Mojojojo1993,

Yeah but their stock is tanking. Just released a game that’s been in the works for 7 years that’s shit.

Claimed it’s aaaa which is just wank and people will refuse to buy their products.

They have negative media attention from yanking online games.

Bad sakes from ac games.

They are a big company and I think they are about to be a lot smaller

MeekerThanBeaker,

I still buy their games… when they are like 80% off. I would’ve maybe bought Skull and Bones new given how much I liked Black Flag, but after the reviews… I’ll wait until a big sale or wait for it to be on GamePass.

Mojojojo1993,

You could try the demo on GeForce now this weekend. That’s where I played it.

Was not aaaa

Did not look like a 2024 game.

Might be fun and sure I’ll buy 80% off.

Bit of 50% playerbase does that. No way that they stay afloat
