How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…
the going theory is that this is effectively the western division of NetEase getting axed because they’re not important enough and “cost too much” to keep around
resetERA is an unusual source for this, but the OP is just direct screencaps off of LinkedIn of people saying they were laid off, and it’s hard to get more definitive than that in terms of sourcing
Hope whenever tf HL3 eventually comes out (hopeful I know) they cns emulate his style well at least. That super sleek industrial look is a bit part of the style of both Dishonored and HL that I love
Eh, if there’s no announcement, I can’t be bothered. As of late, the Switch has been showing its age to me. I don’t want to buy games for out of date hardware; I will play the games that I own, but not buy another game until Nintendo gets vastly improved hardware out there.
Honestly, I’d accept something much better but not a massive upgrade. The thing enough power under the hood to make it easier for devs to port their games. Making the Switch an attractive choice and for games to run smoothly on their handheld/console. I would prefer Nintendo bring back home consoles, as it would be easier to make a strong performer.
My hope is that they make a true contender, however, this might not be Nintendo’s plan. They very well may choose to make another gimmick; perhaps Nintendo will refine a gimmick this time with their next hardware release?
I doubt they will. Ninendo is not fighting with PS and Xbox, and it surely has no reason to fight with Steam Deck and other powerful portables. They found their market, and they are extremely successful at what they are doing. One does not need super hardware to create wonderful games.
While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.
As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.
Like, before I only had a small handful because I thought hey, if I ever need to access them in case my dumping hardware stops working or something, I can. But now that Nintendo is making everything disappear and nobody is fighting them, other companies are following their lead. SEGA and companies in the ESA.
Get the entire library at once and you dont have to worry about media being destroyed forever.
Yeah, that’s a good point but I am very skeptical that Nintendo roms are going to be lost forever. Some of the popular sites are getting hit, but this has been happening for decades. Soon enough there will be a new site that makes it easy, and there will always be Usenet and private trackers that are far more robust.
