Important fact why PC/console gamers should be concerned: ![]() Americans largely won’t pay to win a video game — but Chinese gamers will: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/30/pay-to-win-video-games-differences-between-us-and-chinese-gamers.html After a negative reaction to Command and Conquer Rivals: EA makes a defense of mobile gaming (it's not about the money right?) https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-06-25-people-make-the-mistake-of-saying-this-is-what-you-really-want We're going to come to a point where we need to respect mobile games as much as console games. I know that's difficult to see when you come to E3, but our mobile business is growing quite significantly, and we look at those teams with the same value and the same integrity as we look at our console teams. And we believe this is the best interpretation we can do of the brand right now." ![]() Dehumanization of the customer: https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-whales-of-microtransactions-and-the-elephant-in-the-room In game development, we often talk about “whales”.

Before Diablo Immortal we had 'dishonest harmony' now we have 'dishonest conflict'. This conflict/shitshow is not entirely fair for those caught in the crossfire. But the game industry brought this on themselves. Blizzcon Diablo "boo guy" was so disappointed he could barely speak: In: Other Games |

Relic's capabilityDid Phil Spencer go overboard with 'positive' PR? yeah probably. Relatively speaking, I think Phil is a positive influence. He have a passion for making video games and you can't easily fake that. Watch this: Losing this gen console war to Sony helped humble down Xbox/Microsoft. That said, I'll never trust big tech as power corrupts absolutely.

There are good devs and journos but man this game industry needs some serious house cleaning starting with mobile games cash grabs, false advertising and predatory business practices. The sad thing about social media/Youtube is that it's usual butthurt journos calling for more censorship because they can't handle any criticism.
