A few days ago, I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) had the opportunity to do a Q and A interview with the game industry veteran and League for gamers founder Mark Kern (Starcraft, Wow, Diablo 2, Wow, Firefall). And in the interview (Robin Ek) I asked Kern about everything from censorship in the games industry, LFG (League for gamers), the current SJW mentality in the industry, his past to game journalism. And this is what Kern had to say to us.
Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.
Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player
It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.
NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.
Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
I have always liked Mark Kern :3
really good interview.
Very interesting read, I hope developers get the courage to resist the SJW and start fighting for creative freedom.
Great stuff, and Mark does know what's up. The way to fight these people, is simply to say no and create the game you want to. People will buy your game, and those throwing bomb threats at you, well, they were never going to buy your game anyways.
We have to shut them down now, otherwise it'll just get much worse.
