Too bad it’s backed by Bozos

Hitler was also a loser before he went to war with the world. This fucking loser has enough money to fund his own army and start a war. Dude already has the tech to create ballistic missiles. Yeah he is a loser but also dangerous because of his enormous wealth.

Seeing how the train engineer is just fine and not flying out of the train, the train didn’t violently decelerate. Meaning that the train stopped over a long distance and thus Superman had enough time to just move the kid next to the rails without high acceleration.

I’m glad their subscription service failed. It is Microsoft’s attempt to capture the market and become the sole gatekeeper by undermining stores like Valve. If it succeeds MS will have all the leverage to decide how much a developer gets paid and which games will get released instead of letting the market decide.

Basically the Silicon Valley playbook, lure in creators with bags of money and entice customers with low subscription rates. Once competition is dead and customers are used to the service increase the subscription rates and lower the fees and royalties the creators gets. It’s what Uber and Netflix have done. And look how much they damaged their industries.

Bet they are going to shutter the studio when they can’t recoup.

True, but that’s not the goal of this initiative. The people behind this initiative want to pay less for games.

When the 30% fee gets lowered prices won’t come down. The market has already shown that consumers are willing to pay for the games at the current price level. Publishers will just pocket the increased revenue, instead of passing it on to the consumer.

This game is made by the same company that made Forza so not a surprise it uses the same engine. I doubt this engine will become a company wide game engine. Also it would take away resources from Playground Games. Building a game engine that can be used to build all kinds of games for external teams cost way more work than a game engine that’s bespoke made for two games developed in house.
