Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Any "industry" that doesn't sell a physical product and many who do.

A fair amount of the money still goes back to the studios. It's way more expensive than it used to be, both in time and money, to create what we consider a state-of-the-art video game. The goalposts for quality and realism have moved so far.

Well, I prefer say Commandos by Eidos to some super graphic expensive "triple A" game, but that's just me it feels like.

I too have tastes for well put together titles, but we don't make them enough money :)
