Veteran Videogame Analyst: Subscription growth has flattened [in video games] (files.catbox.moe) angielski

Adding a bit more to the discussion on whether game subscription can be “the future”, it looks like despite the heavy push made in the past decade, subscriptions only make up 10% of total video game spending in the US....

johntash,

Do micro transactions or even battle pass type things count as subscriptions in the data he’s referring to? Or buying subscriptions/passes with in game currency that was purchased with real money?

I think it’d be more appropriate to compare the upfront cost of a game (and the revenue from it) vs additional revenue generated by people who already paid that upfront cost.

China announces rules to reduce spending on video games (www.reuters.com)

“Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.”

johntash,

I’m alright with the games that give you daily rewards but they don’t have to be consecutive days. It still benefits people who log in everyday, but you at least aren’t entirely missing out

johntash,

I liked the cyclops because of how big it was. I liked the sea truck too though.

I think my ideal combination would be a big cyclops like vehicle you could use as a mobile base, and then something between a sea truck and sea moth for excursions into more dangerous areas.

johntash,

So many good multiplayer games weren’t live service games and did just fine

johntash,

I haven’t been keeping up with games this year due to reasons, what are some of the games that might be better than TotK?

johntash,

Any games in particular you’d recommend purchasing and not playing?

johntash,

It looks pretty bad even with an adblocker on now too

johntash,

An underwater or even underground factorio would be awesome. Maybe a future mod or expansion? I’d imagine a lot of the engine work will make those types of things easier too.

johntash,

SR3 and SR4 were both great. I think SR3 only had the super power stuff from a dlc though? They both have some unique quests that I really enjoyed.

johntash,

The genki side missions were great. I just remember going into SR3 not expecting a lot and then ended up finishing the game (rare for me) and actually enjoyed it a lot.

I don’t think I ever finished one of the GTA games, I usually got bored fairly quickly.

johntash,

Well you convinced me to try it, and it’s even free. Thanks for the recommendation!

Gaming laptop or handheld PC?

I recently posted about finding time to game as a parent and the community has provided a bunch of good suggestions. Thank you! After reading all comments, I think it really boils down to accessibility of gaming for the occasional moments of free time that I do have in my busy schedule. The ability to pick something up easily,...

johntash,

You can also just add a 512 or 1tb microsd card. Surprisingly the performance of the card hasn’t made a huge difference for me when playing games off of it
