At Bethesda, we value media reviews.
We read them. We watch them. We try to learn from them when they offer critique. And we understand their value to our players.
Earlier this year we released DOOM. We sent review copies to arrive the day before launch, which led to speculation about the quality of the game. Since then DOOM has emerged as a critical and commercial hit, and is now one of the highest-rated shooters of the past few years.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Back when the Xbox 360 launched, Microsoft pushed the big budget game as a differentiator. Following all the recent layoffs, it’s clear this strategy has run its course.
The Microsoft shill take on the Microsoft causing the death of big budget gaming...
The whole driving force for growth in gaming both technologically, creatively and financially was all nonsense, and it was definitely not because Microsoft ran the industry into the ground with obviously bad decisions and creating an unprofitable business model that massively disrupted consumer spending habits. /s
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
This smells like shit, I can see other publishers following this route. I am looking at you Ubisoft and EA.
Freaking bullshit
Has there been any game that withheld reviews until after release that have turned out to be great?
Trying to hide the bugs right?
They should be sent out 2 weeks in advanced and be allowed to post the review after a week if they so wish. It means people who have pre ordered, especially expensive collectors editions, have the chance to cancel.
