I agree but I never said that getting a payday up front for exclusivity was better.

No news is good news.

It’s almost cartainly worse, while SE might have been compensated for the lost sales on PC and Xbox, Final Fantasy has lost its brand power. Additionally, not putting your game on all platforms is a huge dampener on the discussion around the game, even if you own a PS5 the FOMO diminishes drastically since most of your friends can’t play the game anyway and don’t put pressure on you to play the game at the same time.

I agree that it’s worse especially since Square Enix signed that deal back in 2014/2015 which looked great at the time but not so much anymore. The only way a publisher should consider accepting an exclusivity deal is if the hardware manufacturer is funding the entire game from beginning to end.

Make sense. Shadow does carry a gun, so John Wick has become a hedgehog.

I wonder when xbox will announce the june showcase date? My guess is late April

Yeah normally is around then/early May

This is planned to release this year, right? And iirc it will have a semi TB combat system, not completely TB.

Was excited that there is going to be halo board game. After watching the demo, it looks boring.

Considering they had soo much go with, they just went with a dice chucking multiplayer match

If true, I really hope it does away with the repetitive mission (not the main ones) structure of 3.

Koei has just reduced their fiscal forecast for revenue and operating income. 28 percent less profit is pretty significant i would say. Thanks to Ronin releasing on a single platform, such a genius move!
