So Eurogamer has wrapped up, and after 40+hours of having done promo work for DICE/EA on Battlefield 4, I can safely say that it was an unforgettable experience. The devs from DICE were simply hilarious to work with and the comradery you could see from all the devs as they talked and said what they looked forward to in the coming year was inspiring for me as a uni student to want to jump into the industry as soon as possible.
I had first thought that trolls were actually only people that abused the Internet and just pissed on an entire console/franchise/publisher/de veloper was simply mind blowing.
Is this the main reason why the Industry is seen as childish can't be seen as important as some of the other entertainment industries?
I can see the argument pretty clear as of now, the amount of people that would come up and say "why is it being played on a Xbox 1, why is it not on PC or PS4." was simply ridiculous, even having heard from the other stands were people would complain, was simply above and beyond the level of stupidity of some of these so called "gamers". I don't understand why you would pay to go to a convention, make a 2-3 hour queue to play a game in which all you're going to do is complain and whine.
I'm not defending the xbox 1. But when you have a guy say "why is battlefield 4 not being shown on the PS4, THE PLAYSTATION COMMUNITY IS THE ONE THAT SUPPORTS THIS FRANCHISE." It's simply ridiculous actually seeing fanboys face to face and having them tell you this spiel of how statistics prove the PlayStation community supports BF more than anyone else.
I'm kinda sad the expo finished having had quite a few laughs, but I'll certainly not miss the amount of idiots that I managed to encounter.
Games managed to play
-Killzone
-(saw knack wasn't really impressed).
-Batman Origins
-The Crew (not impressed with this at all)

-Assassin's Creed 4 (PC)
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I can see where you are coming from, but i was there too, and for the most part everyone was really friendly and just had a good time.
Granted it's ridiculous if people literally whined at you, but then again, you're running it on statistically the least popular platform right now and more people than not were there for the specific purpose of getting their hands on the PS4, if not just the PS4 pad on a PC emulator.
I do my best to own all platforms if i can afford to, but i have to admit i might be a little P.O'd too if i only wanted a playstation only to find my most anticipated title on a rival platform with a pad i wasn't accustomed to.
"Is this the main reason why the Industry is seen as childish can't be seen as important as some of the other entertainment industries?"
No. This kind of behaviour is not limited to gaming. It exists in all hobbies, though it takes on different forms in some. People don't view gaming as important and still see it as childish because of its roots and because of politicians seeking to make their name on anti-gaming laws.
I'm sure you've seen the football (soccer) riots in Europe, and they start over the smallest things.
Closer to home in North America, brawls are known to break out in little league sports games.
Fanboyism is everywhere, only gaming is being used as a scapegoat for it.
haha
"THE PLAYSTATION COMMUNITY IS THE ONE THAT SUPPORTS THIS FRANCHISE"
World is full of chicken iq idiots.
