Mat Piscatella, executive director of analysis firm Circana, said that monthly, non-mobile, video-game subscription spending in the US “has been flat to low single-digit growth” since the middle of 2021.

Good. Now that we’ve established that the subscription-based videogame market is pretty much saturated with very little potential for growth, can we please stop shoveling out all this live service crap? It didn’t work for Bioware, it didn’t work for Rocksteady Studios and it didn’t work for Arkane Austin. Stop it.

There’s a petition going around now to try to “Save Subnautica”.

It’s at least worth a shot: www.change.org/p/save-subnautica

Tigeroovy, do games w Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division

That’ll get them their killer game!

Honestly maybe the last Xbox will be the last one I buy. Even if they put out another one what’s even the point anymore?

pinball_wizard,

Honestly maybe the last Xbox will be the last one I buy.

Yes. I also stopped buying XBoxes with the Series…G. (I’m lying. I have no idea what my Xboxes are called. Is the 360 still new? Was there a G? It felt like we were doing letters for awhile.)

Even if they put out another one what’s even the point anymore?

I agree. But I gave up when I had to do research to figure out which one was the new one.

Tigeroovy,

Tbh I never really had trouble with which was which, despite their ridiculous naming conventions. And like the console is decent and they do a lot of things right. But also unless I’m just paying them a monthly fee for gamepass to get access to games that are also on other consoles then there’s no real particular benefit to the console aside from what backwards compatibility it offers. Which is okay but not nearly full BC coverage. And at this point with all the studios they’ve gutted, what more would a new console even bring to the table? An $800 price tag maybe.

Stuff like this makes me weary at getting another xbox console in the future (or if there even will be one) they keep seeming to shift away from games. I just hope that they allow people to access their past purchases into the future (lol I doubt it though)

You guys pay for games, i feel sorry for you. That is a massive debuff to gamers

gonzo-rand19, do games w Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game

Generally, I don't buy games over $18 CAD. I've made exceptions (Temtem, Civ 6, Super Mega Baseball 3, My Time at Portia, Satisfactory, a couple of others) but never paid more than $40 unless it's a gift for someone I really like (I pre-ordered Fallout 4 for my ex for her birthday).

I will happily wait years for something to come down in price. I have 600+ games on Steam: I always have other options.

I’ve said this elsewhere before but video games are a commodity and an impulse buy. Very few people view the next video game as an essential purchase for themselves. So sure people can have them and haha about how much the cost of developing a video game has gone up till they’re blue in the face but that is not going to change how the consumer will feel at the register buying the game. If the person at the register does not feel that the price is justified they’re not going to pay it they’re going to wait for a sale, borrow it from a friend if they can get access to physical media, or pirate it.

Yeah live service anything was going to land like a dead fish in my area where whether or not you can get a ping through to fucking Google depends on how many people in the neighborhood are off work.
