Nintendo canceled a live action Zelda adaptation after a leak.

So leaks do affect people.People lost their jobs.

Personal opinions aside, people have had games ruined by leakers.

The strike is coming.

It's a good question.

If you look at CEO pay and realize that CEOs compensation is equal to 200-300 times that of the median employee compensation (72k at Take Two - 120k at Electronic Arts), then you can see that those CEOs can survive (somehow) by being compensated by earning 2-3 times as much as the median employee.

That would save 199-299 jobs PER CEO. EA has 12 members of their Executive team. Cutting one of them via layoffs would save hundreds o...

I would love an update to GTA online. Something that allows you to take your character to someplace new, if you want.

I doubt the budget is as high as the rumors claim. Horizon FW budget was leaked at 220 million dollars. I would imagine given the same dev time and quality, GTA VI will be a similar amount.

The games industry is starting to engage in Hollywood Accounting and turning everything to gig work in order to maximize profits.

For comparison: take the latest Hollywood film claimed budget and compare it to the 15 million for the brand new Godzilla Minus One (which...

No. But I do remember when GTA was exclusive to Playstation. Xbox got a port 2 years later.

This is so cool. I can't wait to get my hands on this.

With the industry giants making record profits, layoffs are simply greed. You can't have profits without employees. It is interesting that the developers who treat their employees like humans didn't lay anyone off. As these conglomerates get bigger, it will become even more of a gig industry. Profits over people. And then they have the nerve to raise prices. And there isn't a single publisher that layed people off that didn't make an obsene profit this year.

Well, in update 2.1, they're finally releasing stuff that was promised in 2020 like a working metro.

"The solution might be to look towards the film industry in this case...a budget restriction...The Independent Spirit Awards the budget can't exceed $22.5 million."

Um, no. Hollywood Accounting is real. It has hit the games industry. I recently read that GTA VI has a supposed budget of 1-2 billion. That's a complete fabrication and laughable. Horizon FW budget was leaked at 220 million.

And just like the film industry we are seeing arti...

BF 2042 already has them to keep lobbies full and the bots leave when someone new joins. DICE announced this at launch because people were afraid they wouldn't ind 128 player games.

In the old days on N4G, trolls like obscure would only be allowed one comment per article.

So this makes helihell even worse? Why? The community keeps asking for better defense against helis and the answer is: buff helis and nerf anything that harms them. They already nerfed Sundance''s grenades.

Looks cool, but I have never heard of it. Perhaps the problem is marketing?

I am a veteran BF player too and, IIRC, DICE didn't understand why we wanted them to just remaster BFBC2.
