Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Oh yeah that was the beginning of mainstream micro transactions I thought we were speaking in terms of lootboxes. Prior to Oblivion I don't know how many people played or know of Gunbound but this game had microtransactions as early as 2003 -

not games, but movies... well, I guess there are games using licensed marvel IP too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp4gHdaTIzs -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
And? You mistake me for someone who's invested in this sphere. A friendly reminder we got documented proof Bobby Kotick came up with lootboxes while doing coke from a minor's tummy at the Epstein's Funny Farm. He's doing great btw. Apparently crab mentality is reminding folks the people they work for will literally leave… -

>If nothing else, start making your own titles? even if some Fairy Cousin would pay all the bills while I'm making my title, the fruit is not worth it. They wouldn't behave that way if that was viable. Mic's next step is to buy Steam so that they could just clear the shelf of the competition. Sure, you can sell your stuff… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I hate to break it to you but that isn't a new normal - it's just normal. The motivating factors have changed but the result is the same. This is an incredibly labor intensive industry that works on spec. You simply cannot afford to sustain a large, permanent base of employees if you don't have a constant revenue stream -…
