A report shows that while the industry is growing, its biggest competition is Fortnite, GTA, Call of Duty, and Roblox

    I guess a lot of older games that show up on the list are free multiplayer games that still get new content like Fortnite, Roblox, League, and Apex, so they’re accessible, probably already a part of people’s routines at this point, and at least have new things every once in a while to keep it interesting.

    Also I wonder why they lumped CoD Modern Warfare II, III, and Warzone together as one game

    Beyond my own game, most of my pc playtime so far this year is on games like Rimworld, 7 Days to Die, Oxygen not included, Ark, and Men of War assault squad. I spent a couple weeks in Palworld. I also am playing Pokemon Black on an emulator on my phone.

        Wartop, we just released it a couple weeks ago. Its’ a virtual tabletop made specifically for tabletop skirmish and war games. We’re not a sandbox though, we’ve got official partnerships with quite a few companies to make official versions of their tabletop games.

            Well we’re a small indie studio, so it’s existed. We’re waiting for promotional rounds from the companies we’ve partnered with. The main thing is everything works. While we released through Steam this will be cross-platform. Epic games some time in the future and if things go well maybe a console or tablet launch. So we have all game system purchases set up through our website and they’re account based, rather than platform based. Buy it now while playing on Steam and if you get the tablet version later you can use all the same stuff.

            It was good to have a small launch because we got to test that and makes sure that all the systems worked, which they did.

    That won’t result in certain doom for the video game industry, no sir!

    I was too young to fully appreciate the scope of the first death of the video game industry, but if it happens again, I’ll be paying very close attention. People will want a post mortem, and I may as well be the one to document it. (Maybe Microsoft will have to bury the Xbox brand in the same landfill where they uncovered all those E.T. cartridges.)

    Had a brief FOMO moment about Dragons Dogma 2, which luckily passed and i once more managed to put off upgrading my 1070.

    Funnily enough started to play the first “Kings Field” that runs at 20fps. Probably the same i would have gotten on DD2.

    I have a PS4 and there are very good games I have never played.

    I bought RDR2 + Assassin’s creed Origins + Odyssee for $30 alltogether…

    I will continue playing those games until I have completed them and a few more. After that, it’s maybe time to buy a PS5 and games with crazily fallen prices…
