I think it’s hubris (my apologies no offense) to think that you would know more about how the gaming economics works than he does. He has metrics you would never see or ever report on. He has worked the top position for the last 10 years. And has been in Xbox for decades before when many other...

Right, so what was so evident? In what ways in your opinion did she reach the wrong conclusion? You say “may” and yet you said it was quite evident she was wrong without actually providing your own conclusions. So please state them so we know what we are talking about. So let me understand...

That’s still projecting though. You’re assuming she needs to have a degree or that she has no experience in it. She only needs to be connected to the people who make the call on which games get the green light and which games don’t. Spend enough with the people who are in the business of...

Nothing is forever right. As things change so do the market dynamics and how you must play in that field. Nintendo aims for a smaller market and dominates in that field insulating themselves from it. but even Nintendo is going to run into these challenges otherwise mobile gaming will surpass...

We can always look at one title and compare it to another. That's like comparing two people and saying one weighs more than the other because of genes even if you fed them the same amoutn of calories, perhaps it's gut bacteria. That may explain the difference between two people, but it wouldn't...

She has. Not may have worked. She has. And if you want to question her understanding of financials, I would like to see evidence that she doesn't understand financials? I work in sales and often meet with high level executives to go through the numbers each quarter. There's nothing there...

I think she's referring to actually fun games that just never get a sequel or flat out doesn't hit goals and then are dead. There's a large list of AAA titles, that fit that description. The entire RTS genre straight up bellied up, and those were all great games. XCOM titles are great...

Alanah covers what’s wrong with the industry and why this continues to happen. I have largely bit my tongue reading the responses here, largely waiting for the hate train to calm and waited for exactly this type of video to explain how the industry works versus how you guys thinks it works. Some...

Purchased!

Interesting. Truthfully after completing the first I didn’t have a strong inkling to play the sequel. Most of the sequels didn’t draw me in fully for the big 3 on PS. I appreciated the first in the series, just couldn’t get into wanting to go a second time around. I stopped in the first 3rd...

Is it that bad?

no rspc in game topics

No. PS5 is the largest platform based it gets the most attention. This is common knowledge in the industry. PS5 almost always ships with less issues than PC and Xbox. Why optimize for Xbox when the market is so much less? It’s taken a while to get Series consoles to performing where they...

There’s a whole slide deck on UE5 optimization and you can do a quick comparison between how series consoles and PS5 will approach the same problem differently despite having the same hardware. And that just comes down to an API difference. So I disagree fully with that statement. If what is...

It’s just coming down to platform priority and optimization.
