URL says Gaza, Reuters changed the headline after it was posted.

Resident Evil 2 sold about 4.5 million copies on PS One, Resident Evil 2 Remake has sold around 12.5 million copies so far and climbing.

They’re making more money now than they ever did, even with games costing more to make. More customers is supposed to equal economy of scale, not fuck it lets charge out the ass so executives can make more money than they’ve ever made in history.

Down Periscope, clearly.

Glad they’ve said something, even if it’s just “we’ll see”. I was worried Tim had cleared this malicious compliance with Vestager when he met her.

No pressure sensitivity being the biggest missing feature. It’s fine to have options, but once the Lightning Pencil inevitably dies off, the only option for pressure will be to upgrade both your pencil and iPad to a higher end model that supports Pencil 2nd Gen; there’ll be no lower cost option for Artists just starting out.

That formula has to include charging what the market will bear. They can certainly increase the price and sell fewer copies, and maybe that’ll be more profitable for them in the end, but they certainly can’t jack up the price and assume all their current customers will stump up to grow their profits.

People’s income hasn’t increased all that much, the wealth gap in many countries has only grown. Games cost more when they were a niche product, and cost less when the audience and potential sales grew. Maybe they’d prefer their billion dollar industry went back to being more niche and only for the wealthy.

Ubisoft get the non-windows streaming rights to Activision games… so what happens with any Acti games that don’t have a PS5 or a Switch port? That means Microsoft maintain exclusivity on a title purely by not porting it to other consoles.

They’ll definitely port Call of Duty and likely any other multiplayer titles, but I can’t see them porting any single player games or new IPs they develop.

Private companies can have shareholders too, it's just that the shares can't be sold on a public stock exchange. Reddit has a board and private shareholders, I think Conde Nast (or it's parent company) is one, and so is Tencent.

Just FYI (and in case anyone runs out to buy an Elite Controller for the joysticks), the Elite doesn’t use Hall effect sticks, it’s no different to the standard controller other than tension adjustment.

Probably testing and prepping for that Q handheld thing. No way they make that for remote play only.

Seconded, it was my favourite feature (bar gif scrubbing).

Is that Ludo?

Something similar was announced years ago, when hybrids were just kicking off, but Google or Microsoft put a stop to it. Big brand too, like Asus or Acer but I can’t find it without the name.

Didn’t spot that at all, thanks for pointing it out. I can see them just developing with other platforms in mind then, unless that fee is large enough to cover all the porting costs involved.
