scrubbles, do games w "We're not blessed with big marketing budgets," Xbox's EMEA marketing lead laments Microsoft's lack of investment
!deleted6348 avatar

I work with a lot of ex-microsofters, and this sounds about normal. In Microsoft-land you only get funding if you’re profitable - and even then you need to be wildly profitable. They don’t care about being startup costs, or getting to profitability, if you aren’t right now you’re going to have to beg and plead for funding.

Of course then they’re immediately surprised that things aren’t just profitable immediately, and take time to build a userbase, and wonder why they’re constantly behind on the latest tech. God forbid they actually invest in promising tech…

The problem is that for every one of us uh… “Serious” gamers there are 3 who aren’t like us. Top of my head:

  • the casual gamer, who isn’t opposed to micro transactions
  • the whales, from big to small who get addicted to these
  • children who have (I’ll say it) not great parents who just let them buy stuff so they keep quiet and playing their Nintendos

I’m sure there’s more, and I’m sure my list is not accurate, but we are a very tiny slice unfortunately. Still doesn’t mean I’m giving them a dime. I proudly wear the basic free armor in Halo Infinite hoping that someday they’ll see me running around and know that I’m playing a free game, years later, never paying them.

It was amazing promo for 3 when they did this, they knew how to hype it perfectly. I watched this so many times back then

so it begins (with game pass).

We all knew it was coming. Profits were to be had.

god forbid they have expectations of “successful” instead of “most profitable game in our company’s history”. I don’t think PUBG or WoW set out to be the successes they were, it just happened, I wish companies knew that that success can’t be planned for

That’s honestly refreshing. Gaming companies think that people have to play their game constantly, and that’s such a weird take. Who watches the same movie every day without watching something else in between?

I remember halo Infinite thought they were going to be the next game to do that, like destiny. No, it’s okay to put down a game and walk away. I don’t care about how many season passes you have or other garbage to try and get me addicted. I’ll play it sometimes, other times I won’t.

scrubbles, do games w Satisfactory Release Date Announcement (September 10)

You didn’t ask, you accused them of it, and they definitely don’t deserve the accusation. If you had asked, I would have responded that actually no, they’ve done an amazing job all through EA, and should be a model for games going forward

!deleted6348 avatar

Uh nope. If you followed satisfactory then you’d know that’s absolutely not true. They’ve continuously added features, worked with the community, and now they’re finally publishing the finished polished product.

With all the hate companies for being in perma EA, you’d think gamers would be happy when games leave EA. Nope, apparently gamers are just mad no matter what.

Oh for sure, I’m going in with - minimal expectations. But I’ve seen enough trailers in my time to not trust them at all, positive or negative. I’ll wait it comes out

!deleted6348 avatar

Based on this trailer. If you’re right then yes I’d be upset too, but it not making it into the trailer doesn’t mean it’s not there. This is obviously the first mission, some of those mechanics may not be explained yet.

scrubbles, do games w Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser
!deleted6348 avatar

Just in terms of timeline, Dragon Age 4 was teased at about the same time with the same level of teaser trailer. It’s releasing this fall.

So a full modern RPG being fully developed in that time by a smaller studio, and for elder scrolls we haven’t heard squat.

Who knows how DA will turn out, but we know modern Bethesda quality thanks to starfield. Not having any news in 6 years proves this trailer was made just to shut fans up

Yeah last time I was there I met the American truck simulator guys, they were really cool, and learned about a lot of newer games. Definitely a fun area.

I got badges for PAX this year, first time since pre covid, and was really excited. After I bought them though I was like “Why did I buy these, there are literally no games coming out”. Hoping the indie scene will be great though
