Valve: How going boss-free empowered the games-maker

... But you're right that it is often considered the cause of many of their problems: Valve's unusual corporate structure causes its problems, report suggests

Wow - Take Two shuttering this studio AND Roll7 (OlliOlli, Rollerdrome) just a month after they announced they're buying Gearbox for almost half a billion. Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement. What a shitshow.

Jumping into the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series from a random point would be incredibly confusing because of the storyline.

There are actually 3 good entry points (Yakuza 0, Yakuza 1/Kiwami, or Yakuza 7: Like A Dragon) but couldn't recommend starting outside one of that set.

True, but my point is that having to use third-party tools just to access games you bought without downloading a desktop client isn't as consumer-friendly as the way GOG offers offline installers directly for every game.

It's true that most (not all) old games on GOG now are also on Steam, but I do still find the GOG versions are often better configured, sometimes with custom or community patches preinstalled that Steam doesn't include.

But you do still need to install Steam to get the files at all. GOG lets you download installers from the website, and the desktop client is completely optional.

Not uncommon for players to want to retire before their contract is actually up, so they go onto the team's 'Reserve/Retired' list. It means they're effectively gone, but if they decide to unretire the team still holds their remaining contract rights.

It's always a year after release for EA Play, but I agree - it's felt like a long time for this one!

It's easier to rant about a boogeyman like SBI than to engage with any of the actual issues facing the industry, unfortunately
