I've been thinking that all my life .

Ooh, multiplayer demo is available for Tempest Rising.

[General]

It is confirmed! This is the golden age of RTS!

[Chyros]

Why do you accept it from him when I've been going on about this for a year or so?

[General]

Because that is the only RTS game i am currently interested in even then, not greatly interested.

I responded to the guy on Twitter btw:


It's an interesting analysis, but I feel like your analysis is too zoomed-out, looking exclusively at AAA titles. I'm sure your analysis of why these aren't thriving is good, but I've got another one; most AAA simply suck nowadays. I turned to indies years ago and I'm not alone. I'm sure you've taken this into account with your analysis as well but indie games can't advertise or charge high prices like AAA games can and so they'll make up a small market segment even if they're qualitatively better. The truth is I think most AAA devs, or at the very least AAA publishers, don't care at all about the games they make, and it shows in the quality of the final product. Slide 7, which shows 2023 games you say should've saved the industry from decline, show several franchises that have been milked so dry, there is no love in them.

I will milk you dry in a minute

Fuck Twitter. I deleted my account today (not that I've used it for years). I guess it's Bluesky then!

[General]

I went without lots of things as a child, including Bluesky.

Must admit I was very close just now reading the replies to the tweet about trans suicide being up 336% on the day Trump got sworn in .

Aye, it is quite ridiculous how much the AAA games budget has increased overtime and that's without marketing involved as well.

That's another thing, in the presentation it complains about budgets rising but a lot of it is advertising which 1) is a blight on the earth and 2) shouldn't be that necessary for AAA titles to begin with.
