Jamie, w Unity to Cap Runtime Fee to 4% of Revenue Over $1M, Users Will Self-Report Figures
@Jamie@jamie.moe avatar

Hopefully development studios can hold strong and continue their boycott anyway. Backing down now basically means Unity got away with it, in a sense. Plus, companies are learning from each other’s shitty tactics lately ala Twitter, Reddit, and Recently Facebook coming out with payment schemes on things that used to be free.

So if Unity does this, other software companies will probably try some similar stuff.

I’m totally okay with that, I don’t think Microsoft represents a positive force in gaming or in technology in general.

muddybulldog,

Then who? Sony? The company that made rootkit a household name?

How about none of them? But Sony has far less power in this space anyway.

I love that the controller is using aa batteries that I can charge and swap at low cost and use for other devices.

spacecowboy, w Meta is shutting down three Oculus games without explanation

Meta is a cancer on society and nobody should touch anything it produces with a 10 foot pole.

Really excited for Cocoon. It’s from one of the people that made Inside and Limbo. And I guess this will give me a chance to test Gotham Knights.

Broken_Monitor, w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

Unsurprising. They already split remake up to milk more money out of long time fans, and now they’re doubling down on the mobile market. I remember long wishing for a remake and now I want my wish back. DAMN YOU MONKEY’S PAW!!!

Can I borrow your monkey’s paw? I want to wish for this timeline to be over.

stephen01king,

It turns out this is the only timeline and your wish just ends up destroying the universe.

I’m okay with that, and I would imagine most of humanity would be too.

LiveLGNProsper, w Stadia's death spiral, according to the Google employee in charge of mopping up after its murder

I just went to PS5 when the shut it down easy peasy and that was the last straw for me I deleted my Google account and all google services.

I stuck with Gamepass because I am a PC gamer. I toyed with PSN but the PS5 controller was not natively recognized by the client at the time I was testing it, which is dumb as fuck. Steam will pick up the controller and use their drivers for most games, but the PSN service just didn’t work with the PS5 controller natively.

LiveLGNProsper, (edited )

Yeah I used to play on PC too but some of the AAA titles had terrible ports that required more performance in my opinion than needed and it was cheaper to switch to ps5 there is no perfect solution I guess lol but the ps5 can play those titles with damn good graphics and not drop many frames but on my PC framrate just sucked and I got sick of windows bull shit as well.

mindbleach, w Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email

Shatter this corporation.

DharkStare, w Leaked Bethesda roadmap reveals unannounced releases including Dishonored 3

I’m really happy to hear about Dishonored 3. It’s one of my favorite series and I replay it regularly.

BarterClub, w Microsoft May Exit Gaming Business If Game Pass Subscribers off Console Don't Increase Enough by 2027

Click bate title. Just a slide of what they think they will hit. Microsoft is not going to drop gaming when it just spent how much on studios?

kaitco,

Microsoft paid Ninja about $50 million to leave Twitch and stream solely on their Mixer platform, only to close Mixer entirely less than a year later.

They will absolutely buy up a bunch of stuff and then just close down altogether. Their market cap is in the trillions; these things don’t really matter to them in the end.

BarterClub,

True but aren’t they spending billions for Activision and Bethesda?

Much bigger than millions

Hiccup,

Activision has a money printer business in CoD, WoW, hearthstone, etc. Those have realized business equities. They’re practically self sustaining.

muddybulldog,

Those aren’t even the moneymakers in that deal. The real money is in King.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Why wouldn’t they just buy a large stake if they’re only there for the money? The reason to buy the company out is control, meaning they can further other interests (e.g. growing XBox market share) through the acquisition.

BudgieMania, (edited )

Nah, even then that guy is still right. Go check out what Microsoft makes in a quarter, Q22023 for example.

They can afford that loss. Remember, Microsoft is stupid big and makes stupid money, if you go to any world index fund, Microsoft is like 3% of it. It is titanic.

BarrierWithAshes,
@BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social avatar

Yeah no way. I can't see it. Maybe shutting down game pass and shuttering xbox integration but I can't see them completely leaving. Too much money on the table.

Hiccup,

They created the Zune only to promptly shut it and the division down. The zunes were awesome and I wish we had more options for music playback devices.

ZephyrXero, w Unity to Cap Runtime Fee to 4% of Revenue Over $1M, Users Will Self-Report Figures

The games making over a million are the ones who can afford the new rates. This is so regressive. It should get more expensive as your sales go up, not down. Small devs should be charged less than big studios

JoMiran,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

The fee is zero for games making less than $1,000,000.

ZephyrXero,

Oh did they change that too? I was just going off the “capped at 4%” part. Before you only had to exceed $200k to have to start paying

The grammar in the article is not great.

@brihuang95@sopuli.xyz avatar

You can bump into the other characters in GTA V as well right?

shizomou,

10 years and I’m just learning this?

Mr_Buscemi,

Yeah lol. I think Trevor will sucker punch you if you run into him.

Melonpoly, w Microsoft May Exit Gaming Business If Game Pass Subscribers off Console Don't Increase Enough by 2027

Hopefully the end up leaving, nothing positive has come from Microsoft in the gaming industry since the early 360 era.

ZephyrXero, w Alleged GTA 6 Videos & Source Code Leaked; Schreier: It's Real

Blarg, I kinda hate articles like this. They talk about the leak but don’t seem to link to it anywhere. So now you have to go off and search for it yourself 🙄

geosoco,

Uh, they do link to it. I also link to it in the blurb. the "found here" text links to the google doc.

ZephyrXero, (edited )

You linked to a Google doc, and I appreciate that. But there are no vids in that WCCF link

ZephyrXero,

Polygon actually did link to some vids in their article. But they look to have been taken down

geosoco,

Gotcha, yeah sorry about that I didn't check that link and just copied it.
