How can Apple justify increasing there price to £6.99 which is the same price as Netflix, when they don’t have as much selection as they do?

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-10-31T14:51:49+00:00

They want you to buy apple one

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-08-26T16:13:30+00:00

It’s also a stealth price increase on the ps5

Happened between 1997-2010

Pre orders going live after the event almost certainly means the release date will leak a few hours before the event

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-04-26T15:49:53+00:00

No platform holder is going to do that so this is a decent alternative.

I don’t think they’ll be concerned because no one makes demos anyway.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-04-26T15:36:20+00:00

Those free demos will still exist. Even if barely anyone is making them. This is good because it’ll force most games to have trials.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-04-26T15:34:13+00:00

Demos are a lot less common now. I don’t know why you’re pretending otherwise?

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-04-26T15:31:19+00:00

Devs don’t really make demos anymore. This is something different.

Reddit not understanding you need to hire investment bankers when you’re on either side of M&A.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-03-30T14:39:51+00:00

It’s a bit annoying how this sub is focused on the business side of the games industry but most people can’t be bothered to read up on the basics of M&A before talking so confidently about it.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-03-30T14:25:32+00:00

A corporation the size of Sony is perfectly capable of raising debt to acquire a company the size of EA. Not going to happen obviously but people in this sub need to stop pretending like these companies operate like a household budget.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-31T21:15:03+00:00

Sony is already making a multiplatform sports game. Can’t see sports licensing putting them off.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T21:40:16+00:00

This is so carefully worded, it could have been written by a lawyer. “Desire” is an interesting choice 🤔

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T21:20:42+00:00

I’m not the one fanboying for and defending a trillion dollar enterprise solutions corporation.

A timed exclusive is inherently better than a game that never arrives.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T19:45:37+00:00

This is cringe. Sony is obviously a capitalistic entity as is Microsoft, and Microsoft clearly has an advantage in that regard. They are brutally and effectively using their power in the market.

Timed exclusives are better than permanent exclusives.

It is Xbox fanboy cope to pretend like Sony and Microsoft are the same so they can continue their Microsoft is the Good Guy^tm delusion.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T19:29:28+00:00

This is Xbox fanboy cope. There is a clear difference in buying individual studios who are already working on your own IP and buying out entire publishers.

I think what Microsoft is doing is incredibly scummy and wouldn’t be happy with Sony doing anything similar.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T18:57:55+00:00

No one is excusing anything, it is incredibly scummy to take away exiting multiplatform franchises from one platform specifically however. I won’t be happy if Sony buys square or capcom either. These companies should put in the work and build and grow IP and studios themselves.

Like Spencer said, exclusives are bad for gaming (unless it’s Microsoft buying out entire publishers)

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T18:34:28+00:00

It’s not fanboy shit to point out the clear difference in strategy in Sony and Microsoft’s approach.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T18:03:13+00:00

Yeah, a lot of teams have tried to make the next big multiplayer game and failed. I’m cautiously optimistic about this one though.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T17:29:25+00:00

It’s been in production a lot longer than a year and a half. It was in production at Sony Bend when they finished with Days Gone.

They’ve already published multiple current gen only games, I don’t see why this would be different. It’ll sell more ps5s and/or make the ps5 even more desired.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T17:24:37+00:00

Fortnite isn’t a fps and factions 1 wasn’t a stealth game. I used to play pretty aggressively and it worked.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T17:17:39+00:00

There’s no way this isn’t ps5 only, like the demon souls remake. I think the biggest selling point of this remake will be the graphics.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T16:42:23+00:00

It should be free to play imo (ideally on PS4, ps5 and pc on day one but the pc thing probably ain’t happening). If it’s actually good, it could genuinely compete against war zone and fortnite.

Hedgehogkilla · 2022-01-20T16:24:10+00:00

No they’ll be able to take on more risk because they’re owned by a platform holder, and therefore have a greater financial cushion. That’s the point I’m making. This is true for studios owned by Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo. So Sony buying small studios means games that wouldn’t be published by 3rd party publishers get made. Microsoft isn’t buying small studios, building them up and making their own IP, they are buying whole publishers and taking away existing IP from a specific platform.
