get in your mothers womb shinji.
I look forward to Death Stranding Drunk Hostess edition.
lol
Does this count as management disagreements?
Does it count as canceled if it likely never got further then an initial pitch
"ok now get back to working on apex"
"ok now get back to working on apex"
On the Respawn layoffs, apparently Titanfall 3 was a lot further than people thought?
As much as I want to joke about USAID funding being shut off, I don't think that's actually what is killing the current AAA market. They're all financed, and it's pretty clear that somewhere back in 2024 the combination of increased Debt Costs and better information on ROI clearly shows most of these projects aren't worth it. It might be an internal industry report, but something clearly hit last year that's caused all of this.

They must have saw Marathon getting a completely awful reception and decided "nah, let's just cancel the game and get the tax write-off".
Reminder that Respawn also cancelled a Dark Forces-style FPS too. This leaves the third Jedi game as their only announced game in the pipeline.
Yeah, the game they went immediately to developing after releasing the second game before fixing all the performance issues with the second game.
Still shite on PC?Yeah, the game they went immediately to developing after releasing the second game before fixing all the performance issues with the second game.
I haven't played it since like 3 months after it came out but I distinctly recall them saying "we're not going to make any more patches for performance, we're moving on to the third game" while there was still distinct issues. From what I've read based on people responding to the recent Respawn tweet, the game's performance is still fucked on PC.
Not shocking, still too much bloat in the industry. Funnily enough, EA hasn't been the worst at doing these kinds of things, at least in recent times.
Do companies really think they can get the battle royale spark again with extract games? The tarkov Yamanbas are not going to stop playing their ruskie slop in exchange for FOTMs every company will try to shit out
Every single executive and entrepreneur has it drilled into their skull repeatedly that there is no such thing as a monopoly if one thing is even mildly successful a competing product especially one that something distinct to offer can also exist in the same market.
what they fail to understand is that games don't work like this Marvel Rivals wasn't a success because people were suddenly clamoring for hero shooters in most other situations it would be passed over as above average slop
but the repeated failures from people who like that genre along with your best alternative's being Blizzard's garbage or the decade old (but still good) TF2 along with the jumping ship from overwatch gave it enough to get it's foot in the door so to speak and the quality of the game did the rest.
There are roughly 2 types of gamers. People who play the FOTM and move on like herds and people who will stick with a game longer term (and those types of people can be split up even further) people playing Tarkov will NEVER EVER switch games. there is no market transference there even less then normal
Because most people might have maybe 2-4 main games they will actively play at once and 1 or 2 that they dabble in long-term.
to use me as an example I'm Currently playing the Arkham Trilogy but I also play Warframe on and off. Give me a month ill probably be playing some cheaper indie game and still dabbling in Warframe while also dabbling in more Pokémon Fangames since those are always fun and Emerald Rogue just got a update.
Tarkov is coming out on Steam by the end of the year I believe. So the absolute best thing that could happen for Marathon or any other Tarkovoid/Gunt Showdown bootleg would be getting all of the "uhm, akshually I only use Steam and unironically post about Lord Gaben on r/PCMR" shabbos goyim to try actual Tarkov, realize it's abysmal dogshit, and then buy a game that has the same core idea but actually functions as a game and can hit more than 47 FPS on every map.
Xbox Series consoles, controllers, and accessories are getting a massive price hike. "Some" games will hit $80 (how the fuck does tariffs affect digital versions?). I don't think Microsoft is surviving this gen in the console space.

They'll eventually be sold for a ham sandwich.
The understory to this current media era is that all of the IPs will be available for dirt cheap to revitalize in about a decade.
Xbox controllers tend to be the default controllers for PC. I find that Switch controllers work for most games though. Oh, and Playstation controllers can be good choices too, if you don't mind that form factor.
