Kelly, do games w How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

Kelly, do games w Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails

“That being said, I want to call out the way Unity chose to communicate these layoffs. Receiving a 5am email from ‘noreply@unity’ informing me that my role was being ‘eliminated’ and that I’d lose system access by the end of the day felt completely abrupt and impersonal. Unity must do better in how they treat their workers in hard times like this.”

Ouch

Kelly, do games w I Released a Questionnaire About Video Game Preservation!

Thanks

Kelly, (edited ) do games w I Released a Questionnaire About Video Game Preservation!

Availability of Video Games (originally released before 2010) is approximately 13 percent, slightly above pre-World War II audio recordings (10 percent or less) and below the survival rate of American silent films (14 percent).

These are fascinating numbers, do you have a source?

Kelly, (edited ) do games w Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change

They are just joking about not having friends but the “in the manner it was originally intended” is particularly relevant for dedicated co-op titles.

Kelly, (edited ) do games w Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change

There a more games released now than ever, there are also more coop campaigns than ever.

This site doesn’t seem to let me link to more specific filters but if you set release year to 2024 and choose a specific platform they list 214 PC titles, 128 Switch titles, 124 PS5 titles, and 97 Xbox Series titles from last year !

Edit: its a weird site, it wasn’t applying all the filters in the link it generated. So I’ve simplified the link and summarised the numbers.

Title is accurate!

Kelly, (edited ) do games w Nintendo loses trademark fight against Super Mario supermarket

Nintendo has a lot of active “super mario” trademarks with the USPTO, 79259975 includes the following:

G & S: IC 030: Tea; tea-based beverages; coffee; coffee-based beverages; cocoa; cocoa-based beverages; pastries; candy; ice cream; cookies; chocolate; popcorn; chewing gum; bread; buns; sandwiches; pizzas; pies; cakes; frozen yogurt confections; pancakes; crackers; mints for breath freshening; seasonings; ketchup; dressings for salad; cereal bars; oatmeal; corn flakes; noodles; pasta sauce.

www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search

This would limit the supermarket from carrying their own store brand product lines for these product types.

Off the top of my head I can confirm my supermarket stocks their own brand of :

Tea; coffee; cocoa; pastries; candy; ice cream; cookies; chocolate; bread; buns; pies; cakes; seasonings; dressings for salad; cereal bars; oatmeal; corn flakes; pasta sauce.

Admittedly my local is part of a large chain so this may not be typical but even independent supermarkets in my area tend to repackage bulk candies and chocolate under their own label.

Kelly, do games w Sony finally surrenders: PSN accounts will be 'optional' for games on Steam, but they'll give you free stuff if you sign up

An account for PlayStation Network will become optional for these titles on PC.

blog.playstation.com/…/new-in-game-content-incent…

This is very explicitly not making any promises beyond these 4 titles. :\

Kelly, do games w Sony finally surrenders: PSN accounts will be 'optional' for games on Steam, but they'll give you free stuff if you sign up

I’ve lost track, is Helldiver’s 2 still PSN optional but still unavailable in non-PSN regions?

Kelly, (edited ) do games w Rolling Stone's List of 50 Best Video Games of All Time

It looks like Rolling Stone included Baulders Gate 3.

That game is recent enough that it hasn’t qualified for Wikipedia’s List of video games considered the best yet.

Wikipedia’s list requires an entry feature on 6 different publications’ “best of” lists so that implies RS may have applied some and haven’t just cribbed directly.

Edit:

For anyone else interested it looks like RS was the 6th list including these three titles so they have now been added over on Wikipedia:

  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
  • Celeste
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I’m a little shocked THPS wasn’t already there.

Tablet as a display and a controller sounds like a workable solution.

Kelly, do games w RuneScape is planning on introducing Black Mirror inspired membership plans

It sounds dangerous.

Don’t you need the playerbase to attract and retain the whales?

Kelly, (edited ) do games w GOG bolsters game preservation efforts by joining European game archivist organisation

This gamesindustry.biz article is offering less info and context than the press release it is cribbed from.

I’ve never heard of EFGAMP, have they weighed in on the Stop Killing Games campaign?

Kelly, (edited ) do games w All the Games Reportedly Set for Release on Nintendo Switch 2 - IGN

If two platforms share compatibility then developers can choose to target the weaker system and release on both.

For some games this might involve a bit of compromise and cause resentment with the owners of the more powerful system, but for other (simple) games it might not involve any compromise at all.

Either way there are a lot of Switch consoles in the wild and there will be some publisher support for the Switch for a few years yet.

As an example from the other side of the fence ps4 is still getting titles:
