Good. Fuck him- I hope he retires from the industry

And they’re also rolling back all those changes, right?

RightHandOfIkaros, (edited )

Yes, they rolled back much of the changes. The new numbers are dialed back.

He should start a game company with Don Mattrick and the ghost of Bernie Stolar. Then everyone will know which games NOT to buy, just like back in the days of Acclaim.

Don't forget Phil Harrison.

Get Peter Molyneux on board and the lineup would be perfect.

Standard tactic when making unpopular changes, and a company would really like to keep them. Sacrificial CEO gets replaced, to make it look like things changed.

We did it Patrick! We saved the town.

@chloyster good, he's been a plague on the industry. When you see your customers as wallets with legs you are bad for the people and bad for the company.

Fizz, do games w RuneScape ends Hero Pass following pay-to-win criticisms
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

The worst thing about jagex is their management. They are so out of touch and only see runescape as something to squeeze money from. They should be happy they have generated as much revenue as they have from such an old game. Last I checked it was pulling in hundreds of millions in profit.

mindbleach,

From a game that looks like the Atari Jaguar got a modem.

Oh right, and the other one, which looks like the most anticipated MMO of 2009.

orca, (edited ) do games w Meta Quest 3 review impressions - one of VR gaming's best options
@orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts avatar

I saw recent studies show that Facebook is no longer cool to younger generations, and the older generations are either not remotely interested in VR, and/or aren’t interested in Meta out of principle (security, ethics, etc). I know that’s hand-wavy and anecdotal, but I’m trying to gather who is going to buy these in big enough numbers to make them profitable. Probably just another vector that they want to hoard your data from.

Anyone know how much this dude makes?

Fogle,

Probably enough to retire after a year

He heavily endorsed the bad decision made by Unity and his comments really didn’t help the situation so this is a welcome decision. Of course this will likely not change Unity’s direction.

Too late, Unity ain’t getting that lost trust back up anytime soon.

jlow, do gaming w Unity CEO John Riccitiello 'retiring' from company weeks after pricing controversy

So which company will he destroy next? He devastated EA before he did all this to Unity if I’m not mistaken.

I hope people will still learn from this and come to Godot and help making it a better game engine ^__^

Black616Angel,

I misread your last sentence and thought you wanted him with the godot team.

jlow,

Haha, o god, no. Bit a guy like him would probably not even for a second think about working for them even of they would give him 100% of the funding they receive now (50k?)

Laziness

iegod,

Something not turning out how you wanted doesn’t make anyone lazy you sack of potatoes.

DigitalPaperTrail,

the entire game can be a monumental task, but you can zoom into a very specific part and decide to phone that part in
