I’m honestly worried about the fanatisism surrounding US politics.
From the outside it looks downright horrifying.

Well, the Dev Studio is made up of Bungie and Activision crew.
So yeah, I don’t think anyone got their arm twisted too hard. Concord seems very much in their wheelhouse. A rip-off live-service game with massive mtx potential.
Yep, eventually ads will creep their way into the payed system.
At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as enough money for corporations.
People like to think they have refined taste, most do not.
And not just when it comes to food. But art and even basic decor and fashion as well.
It has a tendency to come down to “Is it expensive? Then It’s fancy”.
I believe it’s “A Link To The Past”.
Jesus, I just realized there’s only 4 years between them. They should both be retired, not running for second terms as president.
Twitch Interactive is an Amazon subsidiary.
Aside from that, I don’t know. I guess it’s supposed to be sarcasm.
Isn’t the entire point of the newer versions of Windows just to force the engagement with applications you normally wouldn’t use?
Well, they aren’t alone. Blizzard and Activision is on my blacklist. As well as pretty much any studio own by Microsoft at this point… Oh, and Sony! Can’t forget about them.
The list is long.
This is sadly very standard right-wing stuff. OP actually thinks he’s being funny and “totally owning the libs”.
I’m gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that OP might be from the USA.
I honestly thought the Assasins Creed games had run their course a while ago.
And until OP answers, we’ll never know. (Given that OP actually knows how unions work)
So quick question: What is this?
I mean, I can guess that it’s a weird new Facebook thing. But unless it’s also a new Windows thing hardwired into the OS like the Edge/Cortana bullshit, I don’t really care what FB is up to. :/
If they took the first step and worked towards, or remained, independent and selfpublished, that would make it a bit easier.
But Bethesda, Obsidian, InXile and even Blizzard couldn’t sell their asses to Microsoft fast enough once the offer was on the table.
I get you want to support the Devs, but they kinda made their choice. They had independence, some quite successfully, but they sold it.
Maybe it’s time to look for new studios to support and help up to contest with the old buggers?
Probably because Valve doesn’t make games anymore. Not on any serious level anyway.
Most of their games are old as hell, and most of them where in the “proof of concept” relm. They only really made games to push the technology they were working with.
It’d be a poor argument to bring up their old catalog of games from 20 years ago as something that made them a worse company today.
It’s about more than just taking a 30% cut of sales. Everyone agrees that it’s a high price. So what else might the potential competition do that make them stand out as worse than Valve?
Also, overworked and underpaid Devs are a different matter. You have look at their Publishers about that. I believe Valves Devs are quite well paid and far from overburdened.
I think that, regardless of brand, most users just want the most basic (almost blank slate) OS that can run the programs they choose to install.
And that is close to, if not completely, impossible to get if you don’t have a mind for Linux.
The marketing: “Valve might be making a new game…”
Everyone: “Oh my gooooood!?!?”
