Honestly, I find it bizarre that is not a thing at the moment.
> $41.9 million to develop.
> $19.2 million for marketing.
> $5.1 million for the physical edition.
That is before Epic takes their 5% royalty fee.

Please, no.
The last thing VNs need is more mainstream people playing them. That is how we get those super dumb-down localizations, full of censorship.
1. Just put a decent battery on the controller. If Flydigi manage to do it with their Apex 3, Sony can with their devices as well.
2. That is a "you issue", stop having lettuce hands. /s
Honestly, I would dig a screen on a controller. I always liked the Dreamcast implementation of the VMUS, which could be simulated by something like this. The buttons lighting up could be cool for some accessibility-specific scenarios. Still, for general usage, I can't think of any potential uses that can't be achieved by ordinary buttons.
That said. If they are going to make a new controller, I would love them to invest in more repairability. Modular sticks, easier...
To be fair. Arkham City had a Wii U version as well, which also had performance issues. So this might just be an accurate port of that version. /s
In all seriousness. If people don't stop buying those collections and ports for the Switch, the publishers will not stop making them. Costs are probably minimal and the return is definitely enough to justify it.
The sticks are "vita-style" which makes them much easier to substitute. Just two screws and a ribbon cable. Now the question is if we are going to see any third-party manufacturer making those stick modules so they can be cheap like the PS Vita 2000 or if like the Vita 1000 people will be stuck paying $15 to $20 for a single original module.
The current official price for the Series S in Brazil is R$3,599. During the last Black Friday, many retailers like Amazon and a local one called Kabum sold the PS5 Disc for R$3,440. The latter reported that they sold the equivalent of the height of 10 Eiffel Tower of PS5 consoles on Black Friday which people are speculating is somewhere between 3k - 7k per tower or 30k to 70k PS5 sold by one single retailer during the sale period.
Meanwhile no news about sales of the Xbox ...
Hey, the rocket ship is built and all they need is a little more fuel! /s
But hey, they made a smartphone app that allows you to play their "exclusive" games. Look at that. /s
This a bizarre article, they went on to explain what the "Xbox tax" truly is to finalize saying that there is no "Xbox tax". You have to be extremely innocent not to understand that the "Game Awards" is the "Critics Awards" and that this is where the "tax" comes into play. It is no more than bias for a particular type of game, there are outliers when you look at the history of the nominees and even winners, but the vast majority of them fit in...
Ayaneo core market is now China, where the Steam Deck is not officially available.
They used to have a larger presence in the West, but with Asus, Valve and Lenovo on the case now. You have to be a very special kind of individual to go for a device from a small Chinese brand with barely any support instead of those juggernauts.
Sure.
Genshin Impact, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, Crossfire, Path of Exile, Honor of Kings, Free Fire, League Of Legends, Honkai: Star Rail, Overwatch 1. You know, games that are actually monsters of revenue in their respective categories.
But I'm sure you find a reason for those not counting. And only the ones that fit your narrative to do.
Nope, a solid GaaS kicks off strong and keeps improving through updates, all while the devs actually hear what the players are saying and 343 really dropped the ball on that launch.
I mean, the game is finally at a very good place gameplay-wise.
Shame they did not launch it in this state.
The issue with remaking Persona and Persona 2 is that they aren't what people now consider to be a persona game. So Atlus would need to either re-structure them from the ground up to better match what the series is now, which would definitely piss off the old guard. Or they would need to remake it into something that is still not what people now consider to be a Persona Title, which would at the very least confuse the public.
So I would prefer it if they did both. Rema...
I mean, the Game Awards IS a critic-based award. So it definitely has a chance, but I believe Zelda is still the critic's darling.
Yeah, I would say it's more like a cooler than a fridge and not even good at that. It looks cool and it's cheap, but it's just as bad as those other mini fridges that you can find on the web. If you want something that is not complete garbage, you have to go much larger, the ones with +40L tend to work much better.
I did hear from some people with smaller hands that it's too large and uncomfortable to hold. But never heard anyone say that they straight-up hate the controller.
Well, doing some napkin math: 25 million users (2022) x 60 USD yearly (cheapest GP core subscription) = 1.5B.
This doesn't account for regional price variation or the other more expensive plans (and we know thanks to the EU Regulators that at least 70% of accounts are Ultimate). But it gives an idea of the revenue that they are generating. However, for profit, you have to take into consideration marketing costs, development costs, infrastructure, etc.
