ow1 earned 1 billion in it's first year, that's an average of 250m/quarter...nice try again. What about the rest of what I said? you know nothing about the game and it's playerbase obviously, you didn't even know it wasn't a p2p game yet you still say random nonsense. Shit on blizzard all you want, but don't shit on the playerbase, when a lot of them already quit playing and aren't statisfied with the game. Do you think they released it on steam because all the pla...
how should we take this seriously when you can't even buy the game? it's f2p you dumbass, nice try. A majority of the playerbase already stopped playing and ow2 never had any breaking revenue...... so you're wrong in every regard.
have you ever considered that a game like Zelda has way more mass appeal than a souls game for example? Before clicking on this article, I knew which game would most likely be nr1 and that so many people would complain about it. Because of that also way more non-gamers get to play the game, I'll use my uncle as an example. The man's almost 80, only owns nintendo consoles (even the old game and watch ones) and basically only plays Zelda. If I'd ask him to give botw a rating I'm...
Don't think it has much to do with that, their ip's have been slowly bleeding to death the last 5 years so it was bound to happen.
yes Sony 1st party studios make awesome games, just not rpg's. The best choise is ofc a studio that has never made an rpg, instead of say....Obsidian...who actually made a Kotor game
you forgot the #Destiny
cause Sony studios make rpgs.....oh wait, they don't
They are gonna use the profit to make more gaas games.....don't act that because it's sony they use all the gaas profits to please the single player crowd, they make them to get as much money as they can, nothing more nothing less. Don't come with this noble bs, they're a company, not a charity.
@obscure as if one of ms's own studios would know how to get the game out the door in a great way. Remember what happened when they did that with Duke Nukem Forever?
Destiny was supposed to be their mega gaas success, it's why they left MS (and for some reason sided with activision). This is just straight up bs, there's no way that bungie will ever make even close to anything that actibliz does. also a bit dumb of Ryan to say that Bungie, a single studio, will go head to head against a company made up of 20 studios, 15 highly regarded ips and even their own publishing branch, it's just not happening.
@frosty you're talking out of your ass. Lets say a company makes a net profit a year of 100 mil. They buy something for 1 bil and start to make a net profit of 130 mil a year, do you wanna say that it's not a profitable company anymore for the next 8 years and from one day to the next they are when they made back that 1bil? it's called investing and it has nothing to do with the net profit. You don't write it off as an expense. People are so desperate to paint a dumb narrative...
How would their profit margins be affected by an aquisition, assuming acti/bliz is profitable, I kind of assume relatively speaking acti is more profitable than ms, so their margins will only go up. profit means revenue compared to operating cost, not making massive aquisitions.
You're just using words randomly and are making 0 sense.
they are making a 2dhd version of DQ3 I think? or at least one of them, that's probably the closest you're gonna get anytime soon. I'm kinda hyped for it since I never played the series until 11 came out
oblivion horse armor started on 360 my friend.
@Blackblades not sure if you know what a UI is.....his whole point was that you look at the starting screen for 5 seconds and you look at a UI for basically the entire game.....
spoken like a true console gamer!
He was also the one that saved them from closing up shop with FF1, so yeah the man's done plenty of good things and also made some questionable decisions. If it wasn't for him FF wouldn't have given me hundreds of hours of joy when I was growing up
why not? Basically all current ARPG's are live service and they are doing great/good, this is not on live service being bad, it's on the Diablo team being incompetent.
You know that I wasn't talking about your compliments about Reggie. I don't get how you don't get tired of constantly shitting on other platforms, shills like you is honestly why I don't visit this site anymore.
@jin except he wasn't head of xbox then. You're trying too hard buddy, at least I got a good laugh out of it
