Come on now, they said you can have some at home. Now go and retreat into the tiny box that you pay half your salary on and enjoy your life peasant.

Yeah I understand they were all 6th gen. My point was just that it doesn’t really make sense to blame the Dreamcast failure on its timing. Dates also matter:
Late 98 was release in Japan
Late 99 was release worldwide
Early 2000 was PS2 in Japan
Late 2000 was PS2 worldwide
Early 2001 Dreamcast was killed
Late 2001/Early 2002 Gamecube and Xbox
The meme makes it look like the Dreamcast popped up late, but timing was not the reason for it’s demise at all. PlayStation dominating the market, as you mentioned, was probably the biggest one. People knew the PS2 was around the corner and the Dreamcast had barely been out in the EU by the time the PS2 was strutting it’s stuff on the Japanese market.
Yeah, I’m of the opinion the Saturn was the real problem. It was not a bad step forward compared to the Megadrive, but compared to the PS1 it was nowhere near as good.
Dreamcast was a great console. It was really ahead of it’s time with a bunch of things, the VMUs, the internet connectivity, the range of peripherals and keyboard/mouse integration. It was the first console I ever got relatively near release and never regretted it.
This is a really odd way of putting it seeing as the Dreamcast came out before the PS2 and was discontinued before the other 2 even came out.
But who is going to implement the AI policy? I thought they sacked everyone.
A remaster is in no way the same as the original. I understand you’re putting forward the business reason for it being delisted, and that is probably the true reason, but that doesn’t make it less scummy.
This article makes me wonder if it was becoming insanely expensive to produce. It always seemed like an expensive choice to sign Rod Humble to make his own studio from scratch in California. They are probably very glad to get that off the expenses.
Love me some Science Data. Much better than that Normie Data you get everywhere.
It doesn’t seem likely at the moment. It’s a whole mess and it doesn’t look like the outcome is going to benefit the original creators, the usurpers, or us fans.
I’m very surprised by the discourse in this thread. I understand that people were given lots of warning, but that doesn’t excuse that they just had their purchase recinded. Why not just allow download of an old version of Minecraft Java still?
I’d consider myself a Microsoft fanboy as I’ve had Xbox live for nearly 2 decades and Game Pass since it came into existence. Removing people’s purchases for any reason is a scummy move.
What a weird article. When I think of hybrid I immediately think that means hybrid working model (some days in office some from home).
Having studios in two different countries working together doesn’t feel like a remarkable feat in this day and age and worldwide collaboration is pretty much the norm in any sizable developer.
Whatever game they end up putting out, it’s going to be Disco Elysium in name only and I hope it doesn’t fool anyone into buying it.
Well he is pretty fancy. Born in a castle? And look at all those names!
As other comments have said, they aren’t even doing game streaming, just mobile games. You can already download mobile games through heir app on a phone with a subscription.
And Steam didn’t really fail, it excels at streaming games around a network. Xbox games can all be streamed with game pass and its pretty good.
Did you? It seems to me the above commenter summed up what has happened quite correctly.
I hate to break it to you, but sounding like “First Pucker Ice” does not sound fancy. I’m not sure it can get less fancy in fact.
I feel like I have to point out they aren’t banned in Europe, it’s only the Danes doing this.
Oh Scandinavian taste buds, never change.
From the thumbnail I thought it was a new Destiny expansion. Worth a watch though, could be an interesting co-op game.
Give that man $31 million dollars, he’s doling out free life pro tips with his global economy crashes.
