helenslunch, rok temu do gaming w Sony Reportedly Halts PSVR2 Production As Headsets Fail To Sell

Sony published a whopping 2 games for this headset. It should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that it’s failing.

Why do companies not want money but yet screen and shout about wanting money?

BleatingZombie, rok temu

They were able to sell a video game which came with an IOU instead of a major component. I think they kept a lot of money by doing that

smeg, rok temu

Did they sell it though? Everyone who bought it got the game they paid for (and now sort of don’t have anymore, lol) but wasn’t the promise of PvE an add-on to the now free game?

underisk, rok temu

they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall

I really doubt it considering how many boxes you got thrown after you, with coins for dups with which you can just buy skins. Was a great system for the player, but probably terrible monitarily.

It had made them over a billion dollars as of 2019

Activision is burning the rope that is the ancient goodwill of Blizzard-fans at both ends.

Bdtrngl, rok temu

Surprised there’s any rope left for them to burn.

MentalEdge, rok temu

It’s a long rope. Woven from decades of WoW, StarCraft and Diablo.

It’ll run out soon. Mostly it’s only been burning so slow cuz people have been in denial over the fact for so long.

Donjuanme, rok temu

Burned all of my rope with the battle.net “2.0” complete with Facebook integration, rmah, “get the game for free with a years subscription to world of Warcraft” and killing deckard Cain in act 2 of D3 (along with ACT 1 being the only ACT with any love put into it, and that being the entirety of the demo, also pretty clear that’s when Activision bought blizzard)

Never played any of the sc2 expansions, never watched another blizzard tournament, never bought a wow expansion (after TBC), I lost a lot of really great memory associations, but the nostalgia isn’t worth supporting the corpse-puppet of blizzard.

It's a lot of fun. Got me to get a stylus to use for card games on my Steam Deck.

Boss blinds that hard counter you late in the game feel pretty dang bad, but that's my only big complaint thus far.

I initially hated this but it does incentivize deck versatility. I stopped putting my eggs in one basket and I stopped losing so much.

Wait I thought overwatch 2 a story mode and that was its entire point. Tbf I haven’t been keeping up with the game

BleatingZombie, rok temu

You’re right. And neither has Blizzard

FlihpFlorp, rok temu

Oh Oh

Blizzard is dead. Don’t expect them to do anything good

Sony: nuh-uh

g0nz0li0, rok temu

This article is from Jan 2023 when Sony responded to a Bloomberg report that they had cut production due to lower than expected launch sales.

It’s possible they will rebut this article too, but they haven’t so far AFAIK.

june, rok temu

Oh shit. How’d I miss that? My bad.

Should’ve embraced PC from the get-go.

A mobile port? Well RIP my productivity.

It was never going to happen. It was a scam to get into a new monetization scheme.

Let’s see what Tom Petty has to say about their future

yooo mobile port of Balatro would be dope. I’ve tried mobile version of Slay the Spire and it’s perfect for killing time when I don’t have access to my PC

Ledivin, rok temu

I can’t wait… these are the sorts of games that are made for portable play… I don’t want to play Zelda and pause the game mid-swing, I want this, backpack battles, etc.

VelociCatTurd, rok temu

I’ve literally been thinking, man I wish I could play this on my phone everywhere.

rockerface, rok temu

The addiction is real

mosiacmango, rok temu

This game might sell me on a foldable phone too.

Mbourgon, rok temu

Steam link works fairly well with it.

Cavemanfreak, rok temu

Yeah. Kinda. Sometimes if you press slightly in the wrong place you get the cursor instead, which can easily lead to misclicks. But it’s definitely playable! A mobile port would be really dope though

Mbourgon, rok temu

Yeah, trackpad works better than direct cursor

This year has been so strange, with seemingly a new hype title every two weeks or so. I wonder what lead to this…

ABCDE, rok temu do games w Balatro Hits One Million Copies Sold In Less Than A Month, Mobile Port Incoming

The addiction is very real. We are playing it daily, with 120 hours and now going into the challenges.

Wowzers!
