Casual Gamers are destroying the industry

Zephyrnix takes a look at casual gamers and their effect on the current gaming generation. In order to do this, we need to take a look at the history of gaming and how we got to this point…

espesially call of duty, the camping gets worse with each new game.

i disagree, if you don't like casual games, don't play them.

were far from casual games but as soon as cod got as popular as it is now the more noobs equals more camping

I think it helping the industry. The wii sell beauce of casual gamers. The question is it helping the hard core gaming DEVELOPMENT? The end is about how much they can make in no time. Making a GOW take 3 years. Making a COD dose not take so long, cause they reuse the same codes and modify the maps. But only 5% of games are successfull. Developing a new game cost alot of $, I believe it cost way less to create a casual than a hard core.

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.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing40d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9240d ago

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
