@thumbwarsluke It does suck, but the cream will always rise. I think we are STILL in a correction from the COVID boom.

@WolfgangMishima People have big feelings. And sometimes people over read a tweets.

@CultureCrave @GameSpot I just hope it’s not quantity over quality.

[Noln @noln87]

@TheGamingDad22 @FuuTop1 I’m pretty sure the original poster said the studio name and made no comment regarding the employees.

[Noln @noln87]

@K__Med Yeah it’s pretty dumb. But I’ve been seeing it a lot unfortunately.

[Noln @noln87]

@xMBGx I think most people who actually like Xbox are all that mad about the closures. At least from what I’ve seen.

[Noln @noln87]

@geis_shane @bum_lao She really is

@MeltingSnowBro I mean it still happens, my kids discovered roms at like in like 2022

[Noln @noln87]

@Horror_Hellfire Wasn’t there a post that went pretty viral recently about how it’s childish for men to still be playing video games?

[Noln @noln87]

The companies are not in denial, but generally blinded by whatever the new thing is. Always trend chasing.

[Grummz @Grummz]

If you continue to be in denial about what went wrong, you will never fix the problem.

Many people being like this right now.

[Noln @noln87]

@knigma87 Naw, people just be hatin. 😂

[Noln @noln87]

Genuinely so excited for this. Why are people hoping it isn’t open world. The original was definitely a guided open world game.

[Noln @noln87]

@Sam73616329 @kanon06 You’re right, but that woman does spend $100 on micro transactions in candy crush. Thats why they want the conversion.

[Noln @noln87]

@Sam73616329 @kanon06 They arnt “fake” you just have to frame the methodology and reasoning. Women mobile gamers spend more on average. The AAA studios are desperate to convert these potential customers. That starts with helping them identify as a gamer.

[Noln @noln87]

@Ravensall333 @HAmorata This is genuinely an embarrassing comment 😂

[Noln @noln87]

@spooonbender @kanon06 Oh I agree for the most part. My wife and daughter both game, especially my daughter. But there has been a real concentrated effort to court the casual female gamer, almost to the point of alienating the male audience. It just sucks.

[Noln @noln87]

@mrhardcoremode This is so dumb, like I agree with you mostly, aa or aaa gaming is like 80% male, and the studios attempt to court the women demographic has been bad. But there is no reason to be so mean about it. Even if some people are misrepresenting statistics.

[Noln @noln87]

@Swurv__ Gaming 🤷‍♂️ when it comes to aa, and aaa games, it’s primarily a male hobby, but my wife loves cozy games, and my daughter plays all the games.

[Noln @noln87]

@kanon06 If you are citing The ESA report, they defined an active gamer as anyone playing video games for at least one hour per week via console, PC/laptop, tablet, mobile, or VR. I’ve not found a single study that supports your statement.

[Noln @noln87]

@kanon06 I actually really looked into this. I’d love to see that study. Pls link me.
