An entire generation is being lost to just tiktok

and doing nothing else

I think the senate is considering a better way to ban specific chinese companies that would still include tiktok while not making a precedent of arbitrarily banning companies they don't like

actually wild statement

fuck you xbrox

you did this

that game is a gambling monstrosity last I heard

trump please ban gacha

Leg, I hope he threatens it

so every gacha game adds Trump as a playable character, to appease him

SSR animated trump pull

Clearly the takeaway is every mobile game should have its own launcher instead of the app store

trump please force apple to make sideloading apps work

The AR/VR trend chart is prehaps the most hilarious overestimate I've seen so far

dude look at those curves versus reality

2 more weeks

the ones after 2021 are at least in the realm of rational, if you bought into Facebook/Meta spending $100B would translate to growth

lmfao

its a slide deck about how Nintendo won the console war

and that's all without marketing

Dude this entire section I am on is just how xbox and sony fucking died and nintendo did okay

the low power consoles mean nintendo doesn't have a use for budgets that massive

though the switch 2 specs will be able to run nice looking games

I have no problem with COD exploding in costs since its the #1 game almost every year

might as well employ people

Dude, I am glad they include horse armor as a point on the chart of video game content

the three mistakes

xbox live, horse armor, and dota2's battlepass

wow a lot of this stuff is stuff ive said before

Its stuff we've all said before

especially the population limit cap and china making their own games removing the influx of revenue

its not really surprising

just interesting to have a full professional document

this guy knows his shit actually

putting tetris 99 on there would have been funny

I think this report itself will cause immense dmg to the game industry, especially in 2025 as the numbers don't turn around

it's nothing new, but it's an official entry of "shits fucked" that the markets will now price in

and make it harder for studios to get funding

The interesting part isn't what he is saying, it's the fact he put it together and showed numbers backing it up

Yeah

and here's all that data that Discord's harvesting

Lethal #4

This data feels off

honestly

you can't get stuff like splatoon on this

read the title

Smite 2 being that high makes me think it must have far better tracking/capturing of games that have rich presence

it's not top games

oh this is early access

it's % of total players of that game that use Discord

Oh I see

yeah that makes sense its all nerdy shit

Max honestly

this entire list

are all NWRD-type games

stuff that requires co-op, or stuff that's meant to be streamed to friends

based nintendo does it again

Okay I finished it

that was an interesting read

i should play through this game at some point

Wait is that new

yes

hell yeah

Bomberman hero is a good rando game I think

64 slightly less so

both are weird in the same way mario 64 is

I mostly play older games but almost all of them require support from some company to run. If support ends in the next few years that would be pretty disappointing.
