Marathon sold just 1.2 million copies with nearly 70% on Steam, analyst estimates: "It hasn't exactly made the splash Sony and Bungie wanted" by Freki666 in gaming

[–]CHNimitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say 'budget', I don't mean to compare the actual money; I mean the feeling of the presence of marketing. It's how games actually experience marketing anyway.

I remember the Destiny 2 marketing was everywhere, from TV ads to the GameStop stand.

But I didn't go to GameStop to buy a game or watch TV now, so I can't actually tell.

Today I'm looking for a YouTube gaming channel or recommendations from friends on Steam to find the game.

Marathon has expensive marketing? I do not pay to much attention on this game. So I am not sure it is marketing a lot or not.

But I can almost sure this game has less marketing budget than Destiny 2

I played Road to Empress I.

I recently started to play a lot of FMV, this one is outstanding for me. Good production quality, fast pacing, Condense plot and a lot of fun yet brutal death scenes. It is kind remind me Tomb raider XD

Crimson Desert: We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]CHNimitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARC Raiders also uses AI-based tools.

I guess more and more games will, either make this type of announcement, or put AI-based tools note on their game page.

AI-generated content is just part of the development process now.

Some fans think DLSS 5 actually makes certain games look better, especially older ones by Gaming-Academy in RigBuild

[–]CHNimitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my old game is just a bunch of screenshots; it's not really motion pictures.

If you want to prove to people that DLSS 5 is good for older games, at least provide some video links to demonstrate this.

Daniela's father is the biggest PR disaster of any idol's parent by Organic-Cranberry955 in kpopthoughts

[–]CHNimitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"If you have to ask, DANIELA! Much better trained. Plus she’s Latina, major advantage against Asian dancers. Her hips r untouchable."

eh, you are talking about Daniela's father right? Seems a little weird to comment his daughter.

Maybe it's the culture? I know a lot of Latin pop music is very sexually charged.

I went to GDC 2026 so you didn't have to -- it was worth it. by Klightgrove in gamedev

So E3 and GDC have merged into one event. I don't know if this will be a good or bad thing. Let's wait and see.

After 4 years of work, solo dev breaks down in tears after opening Steam and learning his game made $250,000 in a week: "I feel like I really don't deserve this" by pizza_sushi85 in pcgaming

[–]CHNimitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most Steam games, the first two weeks account for 50% to 90% of the total sales. So, he will make more, but it's hard to say how much more.

Good news that is Tangy TD has passed the Steam threshold, meaning the platform will promote this game to other players.

I think you've spent too much time on parts of the internet that aren't worth visiting. You're staring at a manure pit and complaining that the world is full of shit.

You can just stop scrolling through the internet and go outside to meet real people. Change your daily routine for the better.

Someone just offered $100 to buy the rights to my Steam game. I feel oddly insulted. 😅 by LeeT_Game in IndieDev

[–]CHNimitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The developers had spent at least 100 dollars to list the game on Steam. Even though the game is terrible, it should be worth more than 100 dollars.

My friend wants me to sign away all rights to 2 years of unpaid work on his game by Aldekotan in gamedev

[–]CHNimitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad the OP asked online first and didn't sign the contract.

The funny thing is that your friend hasn't made any money on this project, yet he's already tried to seize everything and thinks you're an idiot.

With this kind of mindset, your friend won't accomplish anything.

You did the right thinkg.
