Going to be a rich man when I keep seeing a game is dead. Got enough to buy a yacht with Halo Infinite.

Xbox under Microsoft worst company, am I right? But seriously, what’s going on over there?

Sea of Thieves is in live service continuance mode. I’d imagine the majority of the studio is on Everwild and prototyping the next game after that.

Sea of Thieves is 5 + years old.

Of course there is a time Rare will begin to free more devs to work on other games. But for now, SoT is far from being abandonned, just that Season 10 has been delayed due to ambition.

I prefer seeing Everwild sooner that Sea of Thieves still being the focus of the studio.

I’ll tell you one thing. Live service, you can’t miss a single minute before calling a game dead.

And Sea of Thieves is everything but dead.

Game will be fine.

Got this sneaking suspicion we’ll get the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters next week.

Probably not, but hey.

Not impossible to be honest, I think we will get some good stuff. I was thinking about the trademark for UNSEEN’s new game ( I always forget the name of the studio founder, she left Tango ) and I remember a rumour that she could have a partnership with Global Publishing for their game.

What if they announced her studio’s game during Xbox TGS ? They could also talk more about Kojima’s new game as well. Maybe a release date for BG3 as well.

bg3 doesn’t even have japanese subtitles, so i doubt they would show the game there.

Now Mihoyo games are saying only temp console exclusive. We know Genshin was supposed to be on Switch but it didn’t happen. Switch 2 ports? And, well, we know MS “regretted” missing on Mihoyo stuff.

Y’know, I work with LLMs (Large Language Model AI) all day and it got me thinking: Why has no one built a “Dungeon Master” chatbot yet? It would essentially be a text based adventure game but ever changing. Just make a D&D, Pathfinder, Star Wars etc. character and let the LLM do its thing.

Just learned about the Unity situation and wow. Do you guys think the will go back or they will go ahead without caring? Dont know who to believe neither much about the tool but I’ve seen some people saying Unity’s new policies could very well take down (with them?) a big part of the indie market.

I would also like to know what will companies like Mihoyo, Niantic, Sony, Microsoft…etc will do.

I would literally be willing to pay unity the $0.20 per unity game I’ve ever owned simply to be in the room when unity meet up with apple and Microsoft’s lawyers to try and get their money.

Doesn’t seem like they will stop, specially because part of their plan is to charge Microsoft and Sony for all downloads done through Game Pass and PS+.

I hope every game dies the same way Sea of Thieves does. Imagine all these Monkey Island collaborations in State of Decay, Forza or Halo :heart_eyes:

Look at their financials. Operating income is minus hundreds of millions of dollars every year and its getting worse. They will not change course, they need every cent. And this will kill Unity (even if they change course, trust is broken).

Its sad but RIP Unity.
