Kabam, a developing and publishing company dedicated to making free-to-play games, has opened a new office in Berlin.
Disney fans may love this as it does sound interesting. Get ready to fight foes in an alternate reality filled with beloved Disney and Pixar characters! Today, Disney and Kabam revealed Disney Mirrorverse, an all-new Action Role-Playing Game RPG for mobile devices.
Such a waste. I wish mobile started charging regular pricing and got rid of microtransactions.
@NecrumOddBoy That's how mobile gaming used to be. It was very hard to find games for legitimately free. Usually the best you got was a separate demo version, but most stuff was paid. It was overall cheaper, usually (aside from Square-Enix's offerings), but $1-$5 games reigned supreme.
And then Satan got a hold of the market, publishers noticed the spending habits of consumers on the mobile marketplace were changing, and they leaned into it HARD.
Super Mario Run is a good example of how premium up-front pricing just isn't as viable nowadays. Nintendo tried it out, but clearly the freemium model has been much more lucrative for them.
I have seen some that have the frequent adds and they should do like Hulu, add free is one price and with adds is another. Problem is you know this will be loaded with cosmetic and character skins for sale.
Another merger today as mobile developer Kabam has purchased Riposte Games.
Beginning tomorrow, March 3rd, Marvel will be kicking off their “Women of Power” event, which seeks to celebrate their wide roster of female characters by adding more of them to some of their most popular games. The event will cover popular Marvel games like the recent LEGO Marvel’s Avengers to smaller games like the mobile Spider-Man Unlimited. Here’s a rundown of each game and what will be added as part of the event:
This can easily be a lovely addition to games, as long as what they're adding is quality and not just something just so they can say their games have women in them now.
SJWs will probably still find something to complain about.
A new studio opening is always good.
