Do we see also cuts in the management who pretty much created this fucking situation? Why is always the normal people who have to go necessarily, but the management stays.
They do not have the quality titles to support their stream of acquisitions.
of course not, they thought they would be bought up by some saudis and that deal went sour. At least the people responsible for that stupid deal need to be fired.
Bunch of moron execs go on an industry buying spree, is shocked when the infinite money dries up, kills the jobs they bought. Embracer are truely awful.
It’s also a saturated market because of the low barrier of entry, without an advertising budget you are taking a gamble no matter how good the gameplay is.
A whale is someone that spends a tremendous amount of money on mobile games. These are the people most games pander to or otherwise design themselves around
Low barrier to entry if you’re not counting visibility. Yeah you can publish to the stores, but nobody will see it unless you are ordained by the gods at Apple and Google, or you buy eyeballs (and have the capital to do so.)
The same can’t be said of the iOS App Store. Still has garbage on it, but I’d bet that games are far more successful on the iOS platform for a multitude of reasons.
Obviously. They rarely make quality games for mobile and when they do, they quickly change gears to make it live service or subscription based and it’s all downhill from there
I'm still heartbroken that Matchland was killed off. It was a really cool turn based match 3 strategy game that involved powering up warriors by connecting tiles for 15 to 30 seconds.
The cool bit was that you could go diagonally too and all the shapes you drew would fire off at once once the timer to draw them was up, so you could get all these huge combos on the board at once if you planned your turn right.
They even killed the cartoon network clone they released of the game too. I really miss them both, it was a really fun well designed game with cute art and music.
I miss zenonzard personally, a card game that wasn’t a straight mtg clone (or worse) or stupidly simple (fuck hearthstone, all my homies hate hearthstone). All the good games die while fucking candy crush lives on.
If anyone wants a recommendation, Line Chef is super addicting. It’s one of those cooking games if that’s what you’re into. Tons of features and amazing graphics and doesn’t get boring. Also essentially free but they of course have a store where you can buy boosters and lives, but honestly you don’t need to spend a dime.
