  They’re not known for big projects. Except Callisto Protocol which flopped so hard they will put their hands on whatever has more than 7 figures.

  I while I’m kind of happy for the people who can still have a jobs, I fully expect they become a shell from their former selves (cut jobs) and make freemium crap.

  Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.

  And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.

  I don’t remember quite well, but it sold well, but not well enough for a AAA franchise.

  Capcom is on a row giving fans what they want and making millions from it. Compare that to Square Enix.

  I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.

  I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Vision Pro is a flop⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Analysts said it would sell around 350,000 units, so that’s below expectations of what Apple expected by shipping 800,000 units.

  A flop would have been <100,000.

  Either way, I think that Apple expected this and they were preparing for an update on 2025 if things go really well, but it didn’t. Whatever units have in the oven, they will probably be used for a Vision Non-Pro.

  Even then, they will have it rough. Current VR headsets are cheap enough and good enough. It feels like the iPhone came 2 years after Android came to the market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Metroid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are few games that define a genre, transforming them into games for history books, and that’s Super Metroid. It refined the exploration-by-abilities genre we know now as “Metroidvania”, much like Dead Souls defined the “Souls” genre, and so forth.

  On the other hand, it also had it lows. Like that entry you don’t talk about that we hope someday is declared non-canon and all copies destroyed by spontaneous combustion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Dead Space’ Franchise Is Officially On Hold at Electronic Arts - Bloomberg⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.

  Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.

  I think Dead Space 2 remake is done. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).

  Like the compatible-with-anything pairdrop but as an app and paid?

  I haven’t seen anything that could replace it so far.
