It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us
Dispatch has sold 1 million copies in under two weeks

No shooting in this game. Your weapons are tools - one of them is the Adjuster. With this device you must fiddle with knobs and match the enemy's 'wavelength' to destabilize them until they burst.

The rumor I had always heard was that they hired a bunch of game developers and didn’t listen to them, which seems to be an ongoing trend.
Maybe someone should try making video games and trusting the people who know how to do it.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

The shorter games with worse graphics made by less people discourse is starting again and the nuance lost in this conversation is: we absolutely CAN make big, hyper-realistic games, sustainably. The problem -- and the money drain -- is executive pay, leadership overreach, mismanagement, and whims.

I just bought Modern Warfare 2019 since I've been recommended the campaign and I've never been so confused in my life. I literally do not know how to start the game. The menu is the most confusing thing.

Fond memories of being a 17-year-old fan eagerly awaiting the new Star Wars movies, and suddenly finding yourself becoming a Jedi Knight in the first person. Between two spectacular (for this era) FMV sequences.
Jedi Knight was released 28 years ago, and it feels like it was yesterday. 🥰
