Another side to this report, and that's from the industry inside perspective: if the average money spent on games per year is 325 USD in US and 125 USD in EU, and ~a half of that is being spent on MTX, then imagine how hard it is to sell your game if it's not a well-known or viral hit. With...

Hey @Shayan, welcome to the forum. Hope it'll become your home. Or, at least, your regular tavern to go to. Never heard about Exiled Kingdoms before, so thanks for sharing your video. Haven't watched it yet, though, but your preview and explanation make it sound interesting.

I agree, 100%. Before ESO, I never tried microtransactions as I mostly play single-player games. With ESO, I spent 1-2 years on ESO+ (subscription), plus occasional crown purchases (currency to buy in-game items, mostly cosmetics). I felt how that accumulated. And that was still relatively...

Newzoo launched a report on payment trends in EU and NA, it's a very interesting (and telling) one: Key Findings: NA is the top spending region globally: NA average: $324.9 per payer EU average: $125.4 per payer Motivations for spending differ by region: NA has a desire for expression: 34%...

No new game announcement yet, but NieR: Automata is currently on a historical low sale - 65% off on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/524220/?curator_clanid=4777282 @JustKneller FYI

Baldur's Gate 3 turned two, and Larian shared some of the in-game analytics, very interesting: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1086940/view/538860954058754131 As for what's next for Larian, here is what Swen said:

Skyblivion is hoping to launch this year. Imagine this!!! After 10 years of hard work, it's in the final stretch. A full remake of Oblivion in the Skyrim engine. I urge everyone to watch the trailer. Voice Narrating is by Ryan Cooper, whose voice sounds amazing and so fitting for Oblivion.

Yes, and the industry is very silent about it. I mean, players and bloggers are talking about it, but that's not enough. And you're right. If this continues, soon even games like FF14 and BG3 might be affected. This is Larian's head of publishing sharing the same thoughts/worries.

I'm on vacation, but I'm still keeping an eye on the industry, and it's just bonkers...

Eriksholm released on Steam this week, and currently sits on a 96% positive rating. I'm going to try the full game this weekend as I begin my vacation. Also, wanted to highlight another indie hit which I previously played during a Steam Next Fest (in 2023, I think). It released a 1.0 version...

Came across this article today: https://www.totallyhuman.io/blog/the-surprising-new-number-of-genai-games-on-steam "7,818 titles on Steam disclose GenAI usage. That’s 7% of the total Steam library (there are now around 114,126 titles)." "There’s now a bunch of games using generative stuff at...

I noticed my schedule doesn't allow me to spend many consecutive hours in immersive games these days, so I decided to come back to session-based games. Since I left ESO as well, I needed to find another game to provide me with that opportunity, where you can play for 1 hour plus or minus, and...

I think it's totally fine to play action games instead of BG3, depending on the mood. BG3 requires a lot of time to stay focused on your journey in it (and to feel more involved/immersed). I've been busy for the last month, and haven't played BG3 either, instead preferring...

Looking forward to your (updated) public demo. Hope Gamescom works out nicely for you, and you get a lot of new followers and wishlist numbers. Tagging @JustKneller - the game is isometric, so it should be something up your alley.

I'll try responding in more detail later (I've been busy, so even my BG3 run has been put on somewhat of a pause, hehe), but I can assure you: Death Stranding characters are amazingly well-done, and Mads Mikkelsen as Cliff there is among the best performances, not just in gaming. Mads is a...
