Πολύ cloud, ένα ψυγείο, μια παράξενη συνεργασία, αναβρασμός σε 343 Industries και Rare, κακός χαμός για τη νέα καθυστέρηση του Cyberpunk 2077, απορίες και σκέψεις για στατιστικά από Feminist Frequency. Επίσης Ubisoft και Assassin’s Creed. Διότι, προφανώς, κάποια θέματα δεν αποφεύγονται με τίποτα.

Η συζήτηση περί δημοσιογραφίας στο gaming συνεχίζεται, ενώ, όπως υποσχεθήκαμε την περασμένη φορά, παίρνει σειρά και το θέμα του τελευταίου κύμματος metoo που άγγιξε το gaming. Παίρνουμε μια γεύση για το πώς βοηθά τις πωλήσεις ενός μικρού τίτλου το Xbox Games Pass, ενώ μαθαίνουμε ότι έρχεται τηλεοπτικό Fallout και τηλεοπτικό My Friend Pedro.

Vertical Slice 76: 92% μικρότερο

00:00 / 1:27:06

Η βιομηχανία προσπαθεί να διαχειριστεί το βαρύ κλίμα που δημιούργησαν οι εξελίξεις στις ΗΠΑ, την ώρα που η Tencent χρεώνεται εξαγορά που δεν έκανε καν και η NetEase ανοίγει studio στην Ιαπωνία. Η Paradox Interactive αλλάζει σελίδα τη σχέση της με το συνδικαλισμό, η Ubisoft επιμένει ότι το νέο Trackmania δεν είναι συνδρομητικό, η Konami ξαναμπαίνει, ήρεμα ήρεμα, στο «παιχνίδι» και η SEGA κλείνει 60 χρόνια με κάτι… τρέλες. Η έρευνα State Of Play για την αμερικανική αγορά θέτει σε αμφισβήτηση παραδοσιακές αντιλήψεις για τους gamers.
