PC Gaming Era | March 2019 - The Ides of Smarch

I would not mind as long as we have the choice. Say, I want to play a new game which has just been released, yet my PC does not fulfil the requirements and I don't have the money (or the will) to upgrade it. I could pay $30 to play it for a month and then, I would be back to the games which my PC can run. Five years later, I want to play that game again, and now, I don't need Cloud Gaming, because I have upgraded my PC in the meantime. It would essentially be a way to play that new game right now in the best conditions, and postpone the costly upgrade of my PC by 6 months, maybe a year or more. I would like that option for Cyberpunk 2077.

Once Era whiffed on Wildlands I knew we were all insane
Guys, the vast majority of players aren't rational thinking customers who care about quality and mission variety. They see cool guns, mechlike suits, loot and the company behind it made Mass Effect! Sold!
That's the reason why I believe Epic's strategy will work. Because these people don't give a shit about features, as long as they get that cool new game.

"Launch sales almost as good as that one game we released 7 years ago" is hardly the resounding cry of success that some of you seem to be hearing. Anthem was the "big" game for February; it was always going to be at or near the top.
In terms of BioWare NPD trivia, I think it's more amusing that Inquisition, supposedly their best selling title over all, never even charted on NPD (though back then it was Top 10 by physical retail unit sales).

Not sure if someone already posted this but it's almost scary how important the Chinese market is going to be in the future.
Lol true.
Yeah, true. I'm in the Outward discord, and I've seen lots of people have already pre-ordered the game on Epic store. Crazy.
I believe a huge percentage of PUBG players are from China too, and there are many other games with similar success.
I'd say it's not only limited to gaming seeing how some sub-par movies end up making tons of money with promises of Director cuts to fix everything after.
Anthem sales still feel off the mark compared to expectations and there are more people watching Sims 4, Mass Effect 3 or Age of Empires 2 streams on twitch.
I guess it bodes decent for the people hoping it doesn't go the way of Andromeda, but I doubt EA are happy with how it's doing overall. It's a AAA, big studio online thing; it was always gonna chart.

Tim Sweeney's net worth (7 billion fucking dollars) compared to the average Epic employee (86k) and QA Tester (29k) salaries.
Far Cry: New Dawn is already being sold at a 50% discount on Ubisoft's store. It came out 15th February.
Who the fuck would buy a game at full price these days?

I...I kinda did it with The Division 2...in my defense I bought it for $50 at GMG
Judging from my friends list who've preordered Sekiro, quite a few folks pay full price.
Even cheaper on CDKeys. Unless you want to play a game right when it comes out, the smartest option is to wait for a reasonable discount.
I'll probably pick up New Dawn when it goes under £10, which at this rate is gonna happen in a few weeks.
Judging by word of mouth, Anthem should be 75% off already.
But at this rate, The Division 2 will reach 50% off faster than Anthem, which is fine by me.

Tbf Ubisoft games drop their prices rather quickly, and Activision's have, at most 50% a few years later.
I think it really is mostly about the specific game. New Dawn appears to have pretty much been a bomb, and it didn't have much pre-release discussioi
Games that are hits tend to hold better. Division 2 is also not really pushing a season pass in the way previous Ubi games have so I'm not sure if it'll be as aggressively priced as say, AC Odyssey.
Sekiro is selling well in preorders, doesn't have DLC to push it appears (so far) and is from Activision. I'd expect that to hold fairly well.

Someone should tweet this, tagging in game dev union accounts, and hashtagging with something catchy
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good news is that god exists.
Bad news is god doesn't like Metal Gear.
Still amazing news. 20$ for 8 castlevania games.
We get Master Chief and Castlevania collection on Steam in 2019...And Sekiro is releasing in 2 days wtf.
What a time to be alive.
Yeah, I'm not sure what strategy Ubisoft is pursuing, but they have huge discounts for a lot of stuff even after just a month.
People still buy the games full price, but they're already selling the ultimate edition of Odyssey for $40 (and you can knock that down to just above $30 if you have coins to trade). Especially with service-type games, I don't understand why people wouldn't just wait (Odyssey is a better game now than it was 6 months ago, and you can get it all for 25% of the original price).
Hmm i know they foxed win10 issues, but this stuttering is a major turn off
Gonna see what happens if i play the game using my intel hd card. If that eliminates stuttering i can keep playing using it :p
Here you go:
1. Sell full price new title to suckers
2. Drop the price to nothing, to try to create new suckers for next time
3. Copy paste the game and innovate a new title.
I just don't like that Ubisoft started doing Bethesda thing with Season Passes. They will drop prices of Gold Editions but they won't drop prices of Season Pass. That is why you can buy Odyssey Gold edition for almost the same price of Season Pass. Watch_Dogs 2 Gold Edition is cheaper than game+SP separately and SP is more expensive than game itself. And those are not only examples.
Pray also for his kidneys. You cant blame him for drinking in advance for the mandess to follow :v
My cynical guess is Kingdom Hearts 3 followed by claims that without funding from Epic it just wouldn't have been possible for one of the biggest games from Japan to ever get a PC release. Following this will be stats on the growth in number of Epic accounts over the last year, but no stats on how many of those accounts have bought anything. However, this audience will be pitched as amazing sales potential regardless. There will then be a conversation about achievement support coming by the end of the year. This tidbit will get more media praise than Steam's announcement of opening up their network for games to use did last week.
State of Unreal is today with Sweeney on stage so things could happen.
Oh yeah tomorrow's Mother's Day in some countries.
Today will be 'State of Unreal'
