intensely_human, do games w New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games

Call of Duty Warzone already has in-game video. When you’re dead, you watch your teammate play until they can revive you. You see through their eyes and can talk to them.

so revolutionary and brave; adding a spectating feature that’s been in games for 20 years

Was just going to say that I remember this being a feature in pre-1.0 Counter-Strike in the beginning of the 2000s.

DNU,

in csgo one was able to watch almost anybody playing. Waiting for your friends to finish their match? Just watch without any hassle. Want to spectate one of your random friends? Sure. Sadly the feature has been completely absent since the publishing of cs2.

Good. Long past time the AAA studios got what they deserve.

intensely_human, do games w NCSoft president: "The games industry's evolution towards acceptance and diversity is ongoing"

Gaming is not the most refined form of play. The most refined form of play is unstructured, spontaneous, and uses imagination. Gaming is the opposite of that. It is essentially a grim struggle to perform at one’s best in a 100% defined environment and ruleset.

I’m a gamer. Mad respect for gaming. I use it to achieve flow and improve the precision and skill of my brain.

But I don’t really consider it “playing” in the sense that puppies and little kids play.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Netflix has 80+ games in development and plans to release "about one new title per month"

More exclusive games tied to a specific service or platform. Hopefully Netflix will release their games on Steam as well.

TheControlled, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

PS+ I want to play online, I like getting the free games, I need cloud storage for saves.

I’m also on PC and realize two of those three are free. I’m willing to pay on PS because the couch experience is so, so, so much better than PC could ever be, no matter how many times PC creeps screech at me that I’m wrong.

I love the game boy games on the switch so here I am

I don’t pay for any video streaming services. I pay for gamepass because sometimes I want to try out something crazy I’ve never played before and it’s great for that.

Defaced, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

Xbox gamepass: for my kids, but they’re not really using it, so I may cancel it for good.

Ps plus: for me, I prefer PlayStation over Xbox and I love all the classic PlayStation games on it.

NSO: cloud saves, that’s pretty much it, but I just cancelled it today because I just don’t use it and neither do the kids.

HeyJoe, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

Ps+ top tier. I always had ps+ since it’s what I have always used. I always used to renew at black Friday to get a year for about 33% less and once they did the plan change a few years ago I swooped in and brought up a bunch of cheap years since the price was going up. I have until spring next year before it’s finally over. Not sure if I will renew, not because it’s bad (which I don’t think it is at all) but because I barely have time to get anything out of it, sadly. There was some great moments where I stopped buying games and just enjoying the triple A ones they gave every month. Now I just don’t have time to play anything… maybe one day I’ll be free again.

cyborganism, do gaming w Call of Duty and Diablo boost Microsoft's gaming revenues, but Xbox sales continue to fall

Well yeah. Didn’t they just announce they wouldn’t be making any more consoles in the future?

Hdcase,

There have been rumors and speculation, but that’s not what MS is saying.

“More interestingly, [Xbox President Sarah] Bond teased a roadmap focused on next-generation hardware.

“'And what we’re focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions they’re building,” Bond explained in the recent episode of the Official Xbox Podcast.'”

cyborganism,

Ah! Good to know!

Yeah I had heard rumors that they were going to focus on multi platform gaming instead, but apparently they will still be doing more consoles. That’s good!

User79185, do games w EA shuts down Ridgeline Games

Electronic Arts has announced the closure of Ridgeline Games, the studio working on a new single-player Battlefield campaign.

As reported by IGN, the project is reportedly set to continue with “some” employees from Ridgeline set to join Ripple Effect – another Battlefield studio working on a different experience within the franchise.

This is according to an internal note seen by IGN, which suggested Criterion producer Danny Isaac and studio head of creative Darren White will take over the project following the departure of Ridgeline’s former head and founder Marcus Lehto yesterday.

GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to EA for further clarification.

The news followed mass layoffs at EA, which will see 5% of its workforce cut as part of its restructuring plan which involves closing offices and sunsetting some of its live service games.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a note to staff that the company is planning to “move away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry.”

Ah yes, I totally have the time to dedicate to each and every single one of these 'endless' experiences and an bottomless wallet chock full of cash whose only purpose is to be spent on cosmetic items that nobody but me will ever give two shits about.
