So are ages of games like Warzone counted from the release of their first version, or is each iteration a new game?

I keep seeing this article title and wouldn’t it have been easier to say “last year most games played were over 6 years old”?

I read that as “6-year-old or older gamers”. I was surprised to say the least.

Based upon how obsessed my 4yo was with Kirby and Mario and Smash last year, I wouldn’t be surprised.

I’ve played Rocket League for more than 2000 hours since its release, but honestly I kinda felt like it was dying. Very little interesting new content, silly decisions like removing trading. I haven’t played seriously for more than a year now. It’s surprising to me to still see it so high up

Same reason moms play solitaire on their phones. Just something they know to pass the time, no need for anything fancy or new.

It’s a game about navigating the mission of publishing “all the news that’s fit to print” when your key demographic may not want to hear that news, or may want it softened or ideologically slanted for their comfort.

Yeah that’s not really what NYT editor Joseph Kahn or any of the other members of the Council of Foreign Relations are trying to do.

The New York Times is fighting off Wordle look-alikes with copyright takedown notices

I cancelled my NY Times puzzle subscription as soon as that happened.

They copyrighted an idea? The hell? Is that even possible? I thought that’s a patent. Is Wordle patented?

i mean nintendo did start out as a playing card manufacturer, nokia was originally a paper pulp mill, etc.

“Playing card” company is a bit of an understatement. Nintendo was a grey market entertainment company - playing cards were banned in Japan, and a workaround was designing the cards with those beautiful drawings instead of suits. This is also why card companies were deeply associated with the Yakuza.

Nintendo also operated casinos and love hotels, with prostitutes. In fact, they did a lot of weird maneuvering during the launch of the Famicom to tip off the Yakuza, who wanted to keep their strong ties and get early access to the hardware.

There’s a whole book about how Nintendo and Sega had some crazy connections with the Yakuza and those shaped several projects in these companies.

so, Team Rocket is the Yakuza, and Silph Co. is Nintendo? that plot in the original games was a cry for help?

Interested by that book. Heard about those individual facts but want to learn more about it !

I really feel this lately. The news is shit. My anxiety has been high so I go straight to the NYT games app instead of scrolling through the front page.

That’s the power of Wordle.
