In what universe is 8k players dead?
I wish any of my favorite games had numbers like that.
Yes. GDQ has been running for 15 years now, it's reputable.
Of course there's still a lot of cool stuff coming from indies, but there's a wide spectrum between indie with no budget and AAAA with $10 trillion budget. We're losing everything that was once in between.
Also, spinoffs. I do like seeing alternate takes on IPs and characters I like, but those are rare now because all the resources go into developing one main project. Like I've always wondered, if Splatoon had debuted a generation earlier, what kind of DS companion piece would have accompanied it?
Do you really consider that to be a meaningful point worth "um, akshually"ing over?
To me, what I dislike the most about the direction the industry is going is that consolidating more resources into fewer megagames means there's less room for experimental side projects and spinoffs. I especially miss all the kinds of B-games that used to go straight to handheld. Of course part of the reason they disappeared because we don't have handhelds to put them on, but I think that half the reason handhelds died was because publishers weren't going to make handheld games for much longer anyway.
Bit odd to complain that a console we know nothing about isn't exciting enough. Maybe wait until they actually reveal the damn thing?
Interesting choice of words. Saying it's not 'official' just means they're not the ones who posted it.
Gimme a GBC one, in Atomic Purple
I'm a big fan of the 8BitDo Pro 2. Best pad I've ever used.
The problem I have with it isn't the feed, it's the ownership.
