Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 18h agoEA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
This should be a major story in video gaming right now and everyone, regardless of political affinity, should be against it. #Gaming #VideoGames

For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

My ex and I used to play horde mode for hours. So this bigger version is right up my alley. #GearsEDay

You'd think I'd learn to just not post about this stuff but I'm a glutton, apparently. Yes. But I would suggest a quiet quitting. Since Helix is a PC they could say it supports physical via an add-on drive. But PS physical SW outsells XBX in the US by a multiple now far higher than the IB gap.
Alanah Pearce@alanahpearce.bsky.social · 7d agoI think Xbox will also get rid of discs. They don’t care much about a ‘leg up’ on PlayStation and haven’t for years. Both companies are actually actively competing with other streaming services and social media - Netflix, YouTube, etc., as well as digital services like Roblox.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is certainly a fun title that hits all the right nostalgia feels, but it isn't the game that will make Master Chief the household name #XBOX hopes. #HaloCampaignEvolved #Halo #VideoGames #Gaming #Reviews invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/halo-campa...

Shout-out to the devs who put out demos to their games. You're the real heroes of gaming.
"transforming Game Pass into a bustling indie library could work to both rapidly shrink the costs of running the service, as well as retain more subscribers" IMO the primary reason Game Pass failed to hit its subscriber targets is because the mass market simply does not care to play lots of games.
Game Pass Was Supposed To Be the Netflix-Style All-You-Can-Play Subscription That Would Save Xbox – Instead, It’s Killing the Company
Game Pass was supposed to be the all-you-can-play subscription service that put Xbox on top after a disastrous generation. Instead, it's a failure that's threatening to ruin the company.

Random thought while working on a piece. Who are the five best Black ORIGINAL characters in video games? Not someone who was established in another IP and brought to games (IE: Blade), but this is a new character for a new IP. Any thoughts? #Gaming #VideoGames
How's the beta for Marvel Tokon going? I haven't heard much, but I also haven't been looking.

Anyways. So, I've already shared more than I should. And no matter what I do share, some will want to wring it more and demand more and more cuts of the data to beat the outcome they wish out of it. I think physical games going away is a very bad thing. Aside from that, I'm out of this convo.
The new #Wolverine story trailer has some interesting tidbits: - Looks like Sabertooth and Logan have a falling out - Potential hint to Charles Xavier starting the X-Men - Uncharted-like Set Pieces look good www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z42...

Gamers have long said they do not want ads in their games. But that will not stop video game companies from looking for a way to get them in as they chase the bottom line.

Eternal Skies TCG RPG@eternalskies.neocities.org · 2w ago"Indie games will save us as AAA shoot itself in the foot" the players say as they refuse to pay prices where indie game dev is viable for anyone that isn't a millionaire. Let's look at the economics of Silksong as an example.
On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.

"but you buy digital too" Yes, because I play a MASSIVE amount of indie games that don't get a physical release Wanting physical to stay doesn't mean I want digital to disappear. It's about CHOICE.
