Theres a lot of context as to why they are doing this. It doesnt matter if its a small acquisition if/when
Virtual fitness apps and incidental ones (apps that just make you move) are highly concentrated markets
Meta/Quest2 had a 78% worldwide marketshare in 2021
They have bought countless VR companies in the last 3 years
Meta is also the owner of SaberBeat, a very popular and potential competitor for the VR fitness apps
Meta is the only one controlling the store where the apps are sold
Those apps are only sold in the app store owned by Meta
Quest 2 already included an app to count calories
META is like the blackest sheep among Big Tech regarding problems with laws, governments, competitionâŚetc. Followed by Amazon (MS would be a faaaaar distant last)so its kind of ânormalâ seeing regulators having problems with them.
So its just like @BRiT said (again, thanks to Idas from other era for the information!)
Thats a broad generelisation. In pokemon youre doing the same stuff in every game with thr same cliche plotline and structure. Im talking adventure with character focused development parties and some semblence of a story. By your logic most games are rpgs. Is god of war 2018 an rpg? Theres absolutely traditional jrpgs like dq ff and chrono trigger. Most ps1 era jrpgs were born from that. Pokemon was its own thing.
Everything on switch is popular. Sword and shield are some fo the worst switch games ive played
Played 100s of jrpgs in my time. Pokemon games are just different. I dont like lumping them in that genre. Monster collecting more like. Sub genre.
I just have an issue people calling pokemon king of jrpgs when its so distinctly different. The actual quality has gone down considerably.
I am biased. not starting this as a fact or anything. For me Xenoblade is this best franchise. And at what point is Xenoblade 2 considered average? Last time I checked those who donât like it do because or the more anime like humor and fan service and the game is rated 83 which is far from average. Otherwise XB2 has a amazing story with grat gameplay. (Only thing that stinks is the fact you need to get certain abilities by pure luck which can take 1-10 hours. Depending how lucky you are.
Game can be stressful for people that just want to enjoy the story.
they are. Xenoblade 1 and 2 are split universe that where created by a science test failure those universes where created while the earth and itâs universe got destroyed, one sciencetist who was responsible got stucked between both universes (earth and xeno 2) and created the blades
Itâs more complicated than this. But those are the basics: gamexplain made a great summary.
I just started DE this week, so Iâll play 3 sometime after. Hope they donât include difficulty options in the expansion pass. I hated it when that happened in 2âŚ
