WTMG's Leo Faria: "Telltale's demise ended up becoming a typical case of a small firm that tried to bite more than it could chew, a modern day iteration of the tale of Icarus. It's terrible news for the industry, but not surprising at all. With this, all I wish is for the former Telltale staff to get new jobs in other companies and keep on doing what those guys know best: write good stories, help out other franchises with improved plots and storytelling progression."
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."
That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.
Sucks for them to lose work, but I agree. Their closure isn't surprising at all.
I'm crushed that we won't be getting a Wolf Among Us 2, but I can't say that i'm all that surprised. The Batman games were so laggy and glitchy that they were almost unplayable.
Im not sure you're supposed to use all those tags..
At least i'll be able to play S2 of Batman and S3 of Walking Dead... Really sad they can't finish the Final season of Walking dead tho. Would be a bitter sweet send off to the developers.
they are everything i dislike about modern games but its still terrible to see a studio shut down
