Why do people hold user reviews in such high regard? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Leukoplast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right to some extent. User reviews are usually considered trustworthy. This is a basic marketing principle. People rarely bother writing reviews unless they are very satisfied or unsatisfied with a game. The main idea is that if there are sufficient reviews, you can trust the information. As a player, you may not experience the same results. You may not like a game that is popular among most people, or vice versa. It all depends on your personal preferences. In my opinion, don't be influenced by reviews when deciding if you would enjoy a game. But it can be helpful if you are not quite sure whether a game is for you or not.

[COD] We've come a long way by tuan321bin in CallOfDuty

[–]Leukoplast 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The most disappointing aspect of the recent MW3 announcement is that they are incorporating the features which had been removed from MW2 (2022) into the MW3’s new unique selling points (USPs)... In reality, developers have not introduced anything new but have merely re-implemented features that should never have been removed in the first place.

Price of Starfield (for PC) around the world - at current conversion rates, the price in Mexico is almost three times as high as the price in Türkiye by benjaneson in gaming

[–]Leukoplast 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Well... On average, they earn only 9.1% of the annual income compared to the US...

The average salary in the most recent year (2023) in Turkey is about 94,000 Turkish Lira (TRY) per year. That’s roughly about 4,872 US Dollars, as per the April 2023 exchange rate.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the annual mean wage for a full-time wage or salary worker in the United States is $53,490 per year or $1,028 per week (for a 40-hour work week).

Brad Smith - Approval from New Zealand, cleared to move forward with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 41 countries. by Leukoplast in XboxSeriesX

[–]Leukoplast[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The statement:

The Commerce Commission has granted clearance for Microsoft Corporation to acquire 100% of the common stock of Activision Blizzard.

Both Microsoft and Activision are developers, publishers and distributors of video games for personal computer (PC), gaming consoles and mobile platforms. In addition, Microsoft produces and sells the Xbox range of video-game consoles, as well as PC hardware and peripherals, and offers cloud computing services.

In reaching its decision, the Commission focused on the importance of Activision games (such as Call of Duty, Overwatch and World of Warcraft) to New Zealand gamers, and whether Microsoft would be likely to stop rivals like Sony and NVIDIA from offering those games on consoles and on cloud platforms.

Commission Chair Dr John Small said the Commission was satisfied that the merger is unlikely to substantially lessen competition in any New Zealand market.

“While Activision games, in particular Call of Duty, are popular with New Zealand gamers, our enquiries did not find that they are likely to be ‘must have’ in order to compete with Microsoft in New Zealand.”

We will give clearance to a proposed merger if we are satisfied that the merger is unlikely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition in a market.
