Looked them up expecting much more fabulous power armor than I found

Cinematic was fun, but was not expecting a hero shooter from it. Was a bit deflated when they revealed it as "5 v 5 shooter"

I'm not pissed at this strategy like typical ones, however I absolutely hate having my collection of a series split across platforms and feel like this isn't the least common idea. Now, if they were to include the older game in with the new one in this strategy or have some sort of cross buy feature for older titles, but this will never happen.

I feel like Steam would make more than 12 billion pounds in the time it would take for a take over to finalize

The article says that they couldn't find subgroups to show trends, so seems to be pretty flat across the board

So far up his own ass he's back out the mouth and heading for a second entry

I don't see the methodology in here, so any influence I could guess is pure speculation. The mentioned lack of strategy games is a possible culprit. This would also prevent people from discovering an interest, as new eyes wouldn't be on the genre. I'm sure a lot of people discovered they like some RPGs via Baldur's Gate 3. One I might suggest exploring is that as gaming expanded in audience to different types of people, the new members would proportionately be less interested in deep strategy skewing the average interest as a whole. As a guess, a lot of people who have gotten into gaming via their phone are more interested in things that can be done while focusing on something else or something with a shorter run time than the typical strategy game.

It was more niche when you were 10 so if people were playing games they were probably playing similar games. Plus, the people you were meeting probably had a higher probability of the same interests at that age

Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content

I've heard that the original Switch was supposed to have magnetic joy-cons, the snap sound they using being the sound of the magnetic joycons attaching. However they couldn't get the magnets to not mess with the electronics at the Switch's form factor at the time

I feel like this game got announced crazy long ago as a push for Xbox to get more Japanese people on the Xbone. Crazy to see it coming out now
