No lie, its worked well for them.

Release late in a console gen allowing them to scale it down for the relatively limited target specs, then sell new versions with less limited configurations for a decade.

No.

Commercial pirates or the people who initially leak a title might be targeted, consumers are not expected to pay significant damages.

Zelda style

Which Zelda?

Zelda has a few distinct styles!

If anything it would be abnormal if the newest generation isn't as profitable as previous generations.

Its a little more hit and miss than that.

If we take total software sales as a proxy for profitably:

• nes > snes > n64 > gamecube < wii > wii u < switch
• master system < megadrive > saturn > dreamcast
• ps1 < ps2 > ps3 < ps4
• xbox < 360 > one

This shows 8 consoles thare were less successful than their predecessor vs 6 that were more successful.

For the first four years the total spend per ps4 console is given as $580, for the ps5 this figure is $731.

This is equivalent to 3.4% growth year over year but if you allow for inflation it is significantly less impressive.

it's not settled that releasing as many micro plastics as possible is fine as long as it would happen eventually anyhow

Is anyone making that argument? My thoughts are that we should reduce plastics (both macro amd micro) entering the ecosystem.

As 22% ends up as litter and directly enters the ecosystem, and 49% is put in landfill (which may enter the ecosystem later) is seems using less plastic is the best solution to this problem.

Edit: I forgot the link:

I might be missing the point but does it matter if it breaks down into micro plastics over 3 years or 13?

If single use plastics are destined to become micro plastics does the time scale matter?

For some reason open critic is only listing PC under platforms but its also available on Switch and Xbox

Its missing Rage Wars :/

• Sim will no longer get stuck in the ground and continue to Swim Laps
• Dishes left in corners will no longer be ignored when cleaning up.
• Order For Table' interaction will no longer get stuck in the interaction queue after waiter delivers food to the table
• Skills will not randomly increase or change when leaving the lot or editing the household.

Never change Sims, never change.

Mid-gen PS5 and Xbox series are both expected in the next 12 months, the Switch successor is probably going to drop in a similar time frame.

Hardware sales will be suppressed for all console platforms.

With 12 years between entries its going to be impossible to please everyone and live up to the hype.

With 3/vc/sa they came out fast enough that they could set a new standard and iterate on that along with the rest of the industry.

After 12 years if they make a modern game it may not feel like GTA, but if they stick to their roots it risks feeling dated.

This?

The pending trademark, filed in the US, is titled "IDKFA" - a well-known cheat code used in the Doom series.

To be honest this name feels more appropriate for a new mode or competition or a convention or something.

Thanks, TIL.

I checked for an Ubi logo on the OP image and couldn't see one, they must really be taking a hands off approach.

These guys sell a physical tracker so there must be some interest in the concept.

The SP launched in July 2020 with the MP mode arriving in October that year.

What's with this name?

It looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Last time I played MM I needed to toggle between plugin settings when I switched between inventory items.

If this solves those kinds of problems then thats great news.

It looks like this was a Demolition Man situation where Newman's Own paid for the north american market and Nestle Crunch took the rest.
