If Microsoft stopped killing all their smaller studios that make these kind of games, they might actually have some of those

Edit:

Actually "rationalising the pipeline" would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money

Having stuck through the issues of the past while, I can say these last couple of days everything really does feel snappy again

I would've expected to see something like thus out of the EU rather than China, but at least somebody's making the first move against the predatory monetisation of apps

I'm not really a crier when it comes to games, but what brought me close most recently was when I was doing a run of the entire Metro trilogy for the first time.

::: spoiler Spoiler ahead for Metro Exodus

If you're doing the good ending run of Metro Exodus, then you spend most of the game beating the odds and being able to save everyone...

So watching Colonel Miller, someone you become fairly attached to throughout the series, succumb to radiation poisoning while you drive out of Novosibirsk, knowing that there was absolutely nothing I as the player could do but watch was heart-wrenching.

He'd completed the mission, but he just couldn't make it home - it's such a bittersweet ending, but including his speech at the end, it's a good one.

I almost forgot about this - I was surprised how quickly I got attached to BT in such a short time

Yeah, because Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are companies who would never pass those costs back to the devs or down onto consumers. They'd totally bite the bullet on Unity's new royalty...

Unity are out of their minds if they think this is at all a good move. All they're going to do by pushing devs away and pissing off the major distributors is inspire the creation/adoption of a competitor.

Exactly. Star Citizen has been in development so long that not only have other developers already had the chance to jump in ahead of them, the genre's brimming with games now!
They had such an advantage going into this, how do you fuck up a golden ticket so badly??

Sure, they've got money from all the good will they're soaking up, but at some point that good will and money will dry up...

If/when they finally do release a game, it's now got to not just compare to a whole full genre of games, it's got to be better than them in order to get that good will back.

CoD wouldn't be CoD without some squeaker with a crappy mic telling me they fucked my Mum last night, or that their Dad works at Microsoft and will get me banned
