If there is no teaser for Diablo 4 next month at Blizzcon then they are in for a tough ride next year.

One of the people on the stream literally talked about how they dream of being like Disney, with a massive brand association and theme park.
Tencent is gunning for global entertainment power.
The way Activision proper has been weighing in on them recently, even if Diablo4, Warcraft2, Starcraft3, or RockandRollRacing2 are announced, Blizzard is going to be in for a hard year.
I don't disagree really. Disney already sucks, so it's not like we need another damn corporate interest vying for world domination (especially one that has distinct ties to a genocidal government) and cultural hegemonizing.
But from a purely analytical standpoint, it's really interesting to see them trying to leverage the weight of League's popularity in East Asia into become an even bigger entertainment giant. And it's really interesting to see them basically trying to smash the most popular game genre niche leaders at their own specialties.

It's so crazy that for the price of a single indie game called Indivisible, I can get all of these recent games instead:
I'm still so salty at 505 Games. I wish they stay away from RPGs in the future.
- Disco Elysium
- Grandia HD
- Pine
- Darksiders Genesis

That's why I think it sucks. Just another corporation trying to permeate popular culture.
Well, the thing is you can't simply make packages, you have to ask Valve to create one for you.
But I wouldn't get my hopes up, could be mistake.
Lots of people buying Disco Elysium in my Steam Activity. That's very nice to see!
Yup, very positive reviews too, so far (94%).
However, concurrent users peak is still pretty low today at 2.3K. Let's see how it goes in the coming days.
They did everything right, but the lack of review embargo might hurt this game. They should've sent the review copies 2 weeks in advance. That said, reviews are glowing so far, and Disco Elysium is the kind of game that will have long legs like Original Sin.
Same here. 505 Games indie division is weird. Bloodstained and Indivisible costs more than 505's Control on EGS.
There was a PR guy on Twitter who fixed Control pricing on EGS (in a regional pricing thread that I was a part of). I asked him again as to pricing of Bloodstained and he said there are other people who handle its pricing.
Adding to that, Darksiders' pricing is higher for us Indians. Not only bafflingly high, but high nonetheless.
yeah my steam activity has only been people buying Disco Elysium or posting funny screens lol
Disco Elysium will sell very little here as it only supports English.
Planescape is my GOTF.
I don’t have anywhere near 40 bucks.
Am annoyed

Oh disco, instead of being an escape to fulfill a fantasy, this is more of a nightmare haha, my char is someone I fear to be.
It's obviously not very likely but EA coming back to Steam would be a useful development. One of the most common arguments in launcher discussions is that "some major publishers like EA and Activision left Steam and didn't come back so it's clearly working out for them". The first company to leave Steam deciding to come back would instantly invalidate that line of thinking.
Since I will be busy with Disco Elysium from now on, I just posted my Steam review for Doraemon:
steamcommunity.com
Steam Community :: texhnolyze :: Review for DORAEMON STORY OF SEASONS
Harvest Moon Meets Doraemon and Friends The game is basically that, everything you loved about Harvest Moon is in here, combined with everyone's favorite Doraemon and friends. You don't need to know anything about Doraemon to enjoy this, but if you do, it'll vastly improve your enjoyment as you...
Y'all do know that ea sells their back catalog on gog too right?
Ea selling their back catalog on steam as well would be nice but itd be most interesting if ea decides to sell their current and future titles as well on there.
What i would much more appreciate is if ea lets you migrate ur origin library to steam.

I don't think EA is doing very well at the moment, feels like they've burned every bridge that they had, well maybe except with the Sims fans since that seems to be going strong, So starting to bring their backcatalogue to Steam makes sense. Like Dragon Age 2, that's not selling any copies on Origin, on Steam it would at least sell a little.
Even just releasing their back catalog would be a significant development. Considering that you can access all the older games for 4€ a month, bringing them over to Steam would be a clear indication that Origin isn't doing too hot.
Gog to play second fiddle to steam for years to come respectful salute
But yeah i get what you mean.
Isn't it rumored that some big publishers just get the 20% cut right away instead of having to hit $50 million in sales? I could see Valve making a deal like that with EA.
Of course it could just be EA putting old stuff on Steam, which would make a lot of sense.
Could also be nothing.

Hmm Riot really know their market, They even bother to make Wildrift website with my local language Selamat datang di Wild Rift!
Steam cut is based on milestones and when a pub reaches certain $ quantity then the cut it's as low as 80/20, yes. it wasn't 50M tho, it was 100M
Bought Disco Elysium, won't be able to play it till later tho, so, in the meantime I decided to play something more in line with Spooktober, Death Mark. It's pretty great so far, have this spooky urban legend feel to it. My only problem is navigation, it controls like a dungeon crawler (unsurprisingly, given the devs behind the game).
The YouTube algorithm is something else.
I still remember in 2009 when I was in middle school about the Xbox 720 and PS4 and the wii2
I use to think the Wii was "magical" (or something along those lines) when I read that it could play Wii, GameCube games and even N64 games (I never did end up buying a Wii)
So what comes out after Project Scarlett? PS5, and N/S Lite?
Will Stadia take off? Will EGS have closed down?
Will Tencent unite the launchers on PC?

Anyone remember that Nintendo On hoax? That shit got me so damn excited!XD
I'm positive that big publishers have been getting special deals for many years.
Now you're speaking my language! As a Russian-Japanese, I mean that semi-literally as well.
(I'll add you on Switch btw, and thanks for the recommendations!)
=============
I already switched (pun-intended) to getting Gun Gun Pixies for my Switch Vs. Steam... Steam version still isn't out. Pqube be dumb.
On the fence about Splatoon 2. Not really sure I wanna play it online which apparently is where the majority of the games meat is.

And I thought that game had failed since there wasn't much discussion about it (or I didn't check since I didn't like it too much compared to its inspirations).
Yet it's also sold half a million copies out of the blue by now. Neat.

I won The Surge 2 in a Resetera giveaway, only had time to play a few minutes but it seems like a pretty good DS clone.
Stein's Gate Elite is 60% off but money is very tight as usual which sucks. SG is one of my favorite things in any medium and I really want to check out LBP but it'll have to wait.

Devolver Boss Defends Steam Amid Epic Store And Exclusivity Controversy
The publisher of Hotline Miami calls for a "reset" of the conversation about Steam and Epic.
www.gamespot.com
The point about devs getting paid regularly and accurately is a good one. I bet many publishers game the numbers to avoid paying out.Devolver Boss Defends Steam Amid Epic Store And Exclusivity Controversy
The publisher of Hotline Miami calls for a "reset" of the conversation about Steam and Epic.
He says 'competition is good' a lot.
And also says that exclusivity has always been a thing in the gaming industry and then lists all the consoles that they have had exclusivity on, but it hasn't been for PC. that's the point isn't it. 3rd party exclusivity on PC isn't a thing and now it is and that's what some of us don't like.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes doesn't have any pre-order bonuses, just a pre-order discount, right?
Anyone played it? How is it?
I know it's a spin-off, with some limited/repetitive gameplay (to be honest, I loved No More Heroes 1 and 2, and my enjoyment was more from a story/presentation point of view, the actual gameplay was a bit "clunky", even on the main entries), but is the story, soundtrack, and overall presentation enjoyable enough for someone who liked the previous games?

The thing I always find weird is how they describe the bubble they (and we) live in as something natural. “I play games on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch”. Ok. But the VAST majority of people don’t, they buy a console and play on PlayStation OR on XBOX OR on Switch.
So stop acting like exclusivity is this natural thing that never affected who can or wants to play your product.

yeah, exactly ... i only have a PC (and a shitty one at that) ... i can't afford to buy ANY consoles ... so all console games (that aren't on PC) are automatically out of my reach
It's Suda51 so at the least I expect style over substance.
I forgot about Travis Strikes Again, damn. I already spent every reserves I had on Disco Elysium (which is obviously a better game). 
I'ma just leave this here because lashman can't be arsed to do it himself :V
