The mobile version of Zenless Zone Zero has already earned more than $25 million.
According to AppMagic, almost half of its revenue comes from China, 25% from Japan, and only 8% from the United States.
If Zenless Zone Zero maintains its momentum, it will top $100 million in mobile revenue in a month. It will be noticeably better than Honkai: Star Rail, which earned $83 million in its first month on PC, iOS and Android.

I guess, that somewhere in HoYoverse's headquarters there is a contract for the sale of souls, otherwise how do they constantly do this?😱👀

I understand that this decision fits to a lot of online game and different MOBA. But for me it is really weird to imagine that I could get AAA project with per hour payment or something like that.
I'm ready to support devs as a player, but there is always a chance for a greed from different companies.
I hope that game industry will find a better way for both sides.

Joe Tung, a former Halo and Destiny producer, believes that the live service model is superior to the traditional "$60 boxed product model" for both developers and players. He argues that this model allows for more beneficial long-term decision-making.
Era of subs for access and battle passes is growing stronger?

FromSoftware mentioned that they are opened to the idea of ​​working with writers other than George R.R. Martin.
Are we waiting for Stephen King badass entrance?👻

Valve has suddenly stopped native macOS support for older titles like Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2. Apparently, the Game Porting Toolkit 2 does a job good enough so they could save resources here. I'm eager to see who will make the same move next!

Paradox declined their "Sims" with the name Life by You. I am sure that developers and the company should have an iron will to cancel the game, which has been in development since 2019.
Not all studios are ready to cancel their AA or AAA projects nowadays if the resulting quality is low.
I hope that this tough decision will improve their karma and that their next project will be an absolute banger.

Once upon a time, CAPCOM conducted a survey among its users regarding the franchises and heroes featured in the company's games.
Initially, I believed it was simply engaging with the audience for show, without drawing any meaningful conclusions. However, the company has now released the results, which reveal some very interesting findings, notably the significant presence of the series' watchman🧐
I am left wondering whether they will indeed revive old franchises, or if this is merely another marketing ploy.
All results of this survey you could check here: https://t.co/kDXiFSNaPH

The #SaveTF2 and #FixTF2 campaign is one of the biggest moments of community allying in my memory. And it's glorious!

The game came out 17 years ago, but we still love it and want to play it without suffering and bots ❤️

UK's new DMCC Bill aims to prevent big tech from favoring their own products on digital storefronts. This could put third-party app stores on a par with Google's and Apple's native ones.

For such a prominent company as Valve, $16b would be a tip, not a takeover offer. Microsoft is bigger, but Valve is inedible 🙊
