I know Starfield is one of the newest on the list, but a flagship open world shooter getting beaten on player numbers by Flight Simulator sounds rough
Newer, cheaper competitors like the FPGBC are finally muscling in on the Analogue Pocket's market, so I guess they’ve decided to double down on being the ‘premium option’.
Not just the engine, no.
the company is planning to make its proprietary Carbon Development Platform – which encompasses the studio's Carbon Engine and other technology – an open source property
This has nothing to do with the subject of the post…
The correct answer is because game developers are, as a rule, not unionised. No one is pushing developers or publishers to properly credit their staff, so a lot of them simply don’t.
I’ve played Risk of Rain 2 on and off for years and I’m not bored of it yet
Not surprising. He was sadly too divisive to be a widely-popular Labour leader, but afaik he’s well-liked by his actual constituents, and this backs that up.
Okay, I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head, but this can’t be true, can it?!
Surely Nintendo have made at least one game with some kind of procedural content??
I don’t know why, but I freaking love simple/arcade golf games. Surprised Golf wasn’t available already, but I’ll definitely be playing!
Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.
Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.
It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.
Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?
what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did
That's just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing 'new' products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.
Or, to use your example, everything I can find says MacOS added Bluetooth support in 2004, while Windows XP was patched to support Bluetooth in 2002.
MacOS is good software, but let's not pretend Apple hasn't built their entire empire based on pinching other people's ideas and marketing them better.
Nothing lower than a C-?
Hopefully it'll be an improvement on Force Commander
Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of
I get what you're saying, but you realise all the great renaissance painters worked on commission, right? So yes that's exactly what happened.
Start paying attention to the top new & trending Spotify playlists in genres you're interested in.
What monopoly? Xbox holds the smallest share of the console market.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I don't see even a single mention of cloud gaming in the article?
This is about studio closures and a disconnect between MS's actions and the types of games they say they want.

There's a little globe icon added in the bottom-right corner of external links, so you know that tapping the thumbnail will open a link rather than an image preview, but in its current form it's hard to see against darker thumbnails.
The posts I've highlighted with arrows in the image are both links, but it's almost impossible to tell.
