I am a dumbass
good joke

HL2 is iconic, but hearing that he also did Dishonored surprises me
lk impressive to have done both so well
Damn, we really need to stop that pregnancy wizard
I feel like it's not even news at this point, xbox is done with hardware after the xbox-Z steamdeck thing they're making
They lost the console war
so did play station, but they might need a few years to come to terms with that
they'll support hte current gen through 2028 or w/e
and then make it an open platform
Playstation keeps own-goaling
it's actually astounding how much they've squandered
it's worse Leg
it's $2B on projects they shut down during development over the last 2 years (includes Concord)
the money isn't even the big issue
it's the wasted time and dev cycles
yeah, they actually lose more than just the out front dev cost
because of opportunity cost of not making things that could earn
the idea that their Tier 1 studios, who made God of War, has had their A and B projects killed, and Naughty Dog their A team project killed
is just insane
Concord could have worked if it was free and less shit
yes, they were doing a GoW universe game thing
Destiny-like
they specifically didn't want to do a Ragnarok sequel
some other studio is doing the GoW 1-3 remakes, in their engine
but the A team was doing the multiplayer GoW, and the B team was making a new IP
both canceled
Sony just put actual retards in charge at the management level, and it blew up on them spectacularly
we thought it was just Sony of America being retarded in California 5-10 years ago
but the entire company top-to-bottom in Japan was just absolutely being run by retards
I don't think Microsoft is much better off mind you
they've done less with more in terms of resources and marketshare
but at least their failure has been pretty publicly owned at this point
Ubisoft is going to be bought for pennies the next year, Square Enix isn't far behind, Sony is going to be underwater, Microsoft is going to have the chain of gamepass strangle their game developments
and I personally think the Switch 2 is going to do "just alright" for Nintendo
even if Nintendo does better, and it's just Spooky FUD
Nintendo is the one of the only studio with a positive outlook
Capcom and KT are in good shape, as smaller JP publishers
but the rest of the industry is literally coming apart
and I think the crash will be brutal
idk specifically, my memory is they're smaller than Capcom and KT
but in general, the smaller publishing outfits are probably in a better position to not get dragged underwater by their ongoing costs
I need to pick my next game carefully, the last two games I have played for the first time I ended up not liking
Just beat sonic adventure 2
That is so wildly unappealing
Replying to legorhin #jazardly did you play Splatoon 3 Side Order yet?
No, but I also do not have splatoon 3 with me
left it with my sister because she was playing it
https://yourcountdown.to/toushin-gent is this real chat
I hope not, because you setting up a fake timer would be funnier
