So how much did they make?
- Comment on PlayStation Executive Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Founded 4 days ago:
I wonder if Microsoft’s shopping spree induced FOMO in Sony and they ended up buying shit. Sony already had the best studios but they chased live service for no reason.

- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 1 week ago:
Devil’s advocate: they created a new studio with all the lessons and right core employees who understand the space the best.
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 2 weeks ago:
It ain’t powerful enough for modern titles sadly. I’m trying to say that there’s a space where Valve made steam machine with niceties of SteamOS and power of say PS5 can really thrive.
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 2 weeks ago:
There’s some nuance.
- One of the bigger issues about PC gaming these days is the shader compilation stutter. Valve is able to precompile and upload these for SteamDeck, so a fixed hardware “console” from them will solve this problem too.
- SteamDeck is pretty weak but games are still sort of optimised for it. Same would be true for such a console, making devs focus on a target platform directly.
- Assembling PC yourself can have its own issues. You may not get all the ROPs, or a new Windows update may break your games, or you may occasionally update drivers to make a game more playable without black screens, or wouldn’t turn on with a controller when set up as a “console”. I’m not saying it isn’t doable, but there is an audience for consoles who would love whatever SteamDeck has done for handheld but in console form.

Steam can’t release a “console” soon enough.

“Fortunately we have a product for people who aren’t able to get some cash for our console, it’s called xCloud”

I would like to predict the future too but alas I’m quite bad at it
- Comment on Fable delayed to 2026 1 month ago:
Yeah you’re right. It is quite a lot, especially with this kind of an IP and expectations to deal with
- Comment on Fable delayed to 2026 1 month ago:
I would say Forza Motorsport reboot had its issues, Flight Simulator 2024 had issues with cloud infra and Red Fall had various bugs and T poses.
- Comment on Fable delayed to 2026 1 month ago:
Actually there are two studios within Playground Games, I’m sure there’s cross pollination but the other studio is still making Forza supposedly.

- Comment on AMD FSR 4 Upscaling Tested vs DLSS 3/4 - RDNA 4 Delivers! 2 months ago:
Pretty cool that AMD stuck the landing, rather exceeding the expectations by beating DLSS CNN. Sure transformer model is better but it is slightly more costly too, and this is effectively v1 of FSR with ML. This is especially great coming off of shimmering woes of PSSR.
Now the competitive edge moves from DLSS and RT to Multi Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I find the newer goal post to be less exciting for sub $500 GPUs as the added latency or lower base frame rate isn’t justified, so in a way AMD is genuinely a better choice this time around for the price range.
Let’s hope the $200-400 segment also sees such competition thanks to Intel.

- Comment on As Kingdom Come Deliverance II releases, what are your memories of the first title? 3 months ago:
For me it was going to Skalitz for the first time after the events of prologue. I had 3 bandits attack me right after leaving Rattay, finding out several towns on the way, finally reaching right as the weather turned very angry with thunders and rain, only to find the aftermath of the prologue.

- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews 5 months ago:
I think the issue was precisely that. They didn’t plan for the surge of users coming in on day one and whatever cloud hybrid system they have for this game got overwhelmed. We’ll get to know about the game’s actual quality a week from now I guess.

Maybe they fear switch 2 sales would plummet if emulation and PC handhelds stick around when they launch. I disagree coz the two attract different kinds of gamers, but they aren’t cool like that.

When iphones went from 400 to 999, I do remember people having an outrage, soon after samsung also raised their prices. It is that moment for console gamers right now.
