Activision Blizzard writes: "We’ve been getting some questions whether our upcoming and recently launched games will be available via Game Pass."
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
The OS works, but it barely crawls along on the Nintendo Switch's older ARM chipset.
Yeaaa... no. It's cool to say that you got it running as a bragging right, but this is completely unusable. I like how he hits the screen while trying to type! X'D
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
“While we do not have plans to put Modern Warfare® III or Diablo IV into Game Pass this year, once the deal closes, we expect to start working with Xbox to bring our titles to more players around the world. And we anticipate that we would begin adding games into Game Pass sometime in the course of next year.”
We all pretty much knew this was the answer.
Good, Game Pass has been absolutely stacked since September and continues to be stacked all the way until the end of the year.
They should hold onto those games until they need to fill gaps next year.
Already bough Diablo IV and couldn´t care less about COD.
Hopefully as a part of Xbox Games Studios, we can have a more interesting and diverse line up of games from Activision/Blizzard outside of the GaaS realm.
Starcraft: Ghost? Make it happen, Phil
Well, they're gonna have to put them once the deal closes. Activision will no longer have a choice. Whatever freedom they have or had is good as gone once that deal is done.
Everybody knows xbox owners don't buy games Activision. Please refer to Starfield, those initial sales tapered off rather quickly. But then again why would they care, their execs getting golden parachutes.
