Oh shit, Monochrome Echoes -white- (the fantasy RPG from the people that made the Quester games) finally got an English localization for non-Kickstarter backers, so guess I am gonna play that now.

Apparently that number is wrong, it’s 1600 today and 1600 in the future. Still sucks for folks.

Glad Double Fine is breaking free and getting to keep their stuff, though.

Dumb fantasy shit over here but I gotta think these big money companies woulda seen way better returns by just giving money to dozens and dozens of tiny studios and let them do whatever the fuck they want by X date, you gotta get at least one more hollow knight or some shit by letting that happen. Just my thoughts!! I know it would never happen! I know selling 16million copies at $15/per isn’t enough! I know it’s all bullshit!! Just thinking is all, just thinking.

I know it’s slightly misquoted (though the actual quote doesn’t make much sense either), but the aspirational stated goal of “one billion Xbox players per day” is so insanely funny.

One eighth of the global population all playing Phantom Dust online. Hundreds of millions sweeping up time with Blinx. Azure servers spinning up to meet the Fusion Frenzy demand. Wow. I’m sure it’ll happen. Just keep gutting your legendary studio purchases and siloing the remaining studios into single franchise prisons and it’ll definitely happen.

You know it’s a fallen world cuz we have all this ironic appreciation of trash like Bubsy or Gex but so little sincere love of Blinx the Time Sweeper…disgusting

It’s the controlled demolition of AAA big budget gaming. Whatever video games look like five or ten years from now it won’t be like it was.
