nathan theres never been a better time for videogames
steam is hitting a new record of concurrent users like everyday

Nah behind the scenes industry bullshit mixed in with corporate politics f***ing over both devs and consumers too rampant

what are you talking about dawg

I guess you haven't been paying to the game industry

you talking about crunch? just tell me what your point is instead of being mysterious

Crunch culture, day 1 DLC, microtransactions, predatory loot boxes/gambling, the list goes on and on.

how is that leading to the second game industry crash tho

Things cannot continue the way they are going on right now.

i hate all the things you mentioned too, but thats no answer to my question lol
financially, the industry is doing better than ever, and this virus is only helping
it aint gonna crash

The industry is booming now, but these are fads that will go away, it's not a sustainable model

if this gets delayed again

How they supposed to finish it in quarantine tho?

IDK just get it done

I NEED THIS

S*** really was suppose to come out this Thursday, wow.

:( fr it makes me upset

We really torturing ourselves with reminiscing about the delays

Gaming this year got hit hard

They (CDPR) held a teleconference last week and said they’re very confidant in their current release date and have a series of plans in place to ensure its release (including releasing digitally only if need be, which makes sense for this title as opposed to something like The Last of Us 2 because obviously PC will be a major source of its sales).

The game itself is finished, right now they’re simply working on QA and tweaks which can all be handled remotely while at home.

In fact, the game is complete enough that they already submitted it to the ratings board last month.

fuuck this would have hit different in this quarantine

We got a Jay Electronica album before this

Crazy

Its 99% done now. Did they really need the extra 5 months

Quarantine could’ve been a classic tbh

Probably needed to do additional bug fixes and tweaks so they pushed the release to the next available quarter (AAA titles VERY rarely release in the June-August window).
