Say hello to the world of video game centralisation. It happened in the media and music industries decades ago and look how it turned out for them. No funding for decent rock music and no more politically neutral papers with actual investigate journalism.
These guys are a classic independent British game studio with a long history. If they were a bike they'd be triumph which has never been foreign owned. I hope nobody buys them and ruins them.
Americans outnumber Europeans on this site that's why their box art wins but imho the European box art is almost always better just like their SNES was ugly and our Pal SNES looked way better.
@Menardi I agree with almost everything you said but there will be no 100% digital future and streaming will fall flat on its face as a dead endeavour. At least 30% of the gaming market are physical only or strongly prefer physical and we're older (30+) so aren't going to change our minds. I never stopped buying vinyl so I'll never stop buying physical games either.
I'm glad it's getting preserved but there's no way people will get these before 2022 with this big an order. Limited run are notorious with their slow production times. This will be worse than River city girls.
@Guest88 the industry wants to get rid of local gaming and move 100% to the cloud though and if enough of us refuse it then they won't be able to do it.
Fair play to the bloke. I wonder how many other people have a similar story? Got screwed over by the Industry and couldn't take it anymore so quit or got fired. It's cool to finally achieve a dream even if it's years later.
2nd biggest country in the world and it's empty. There are 15 million more people just in England than there are in Canada. That's why we live in terrace houses and flats and they have a whole square mile to build on.
Your Canada facts today were bought to you by a Brummie who once shagged a Canadian girl.

Re: Switch Ranked Greatest Handheld Of All Time By UK Newspaper The Guardian

Re: Scott Pilgrim For Switch Becomes Limited Run's "Biggest" Physical Release Ever
I'm glad it's getting preserved but there's no way people will get these before 2022 with this big an order. Limited run are notorious with their slow production times. This will be worse than River city girls.

@Guest88 the industry wants to get rid of local gaming and move 100% to the cloud though and if enough of us refuse it then they won't be able to do it.
Re: IO Interactive Reconfirms Hitman 3 Will Launch On Switch Alongside Other Versions

Re: This New Game Boy Game Is 21 Years In The Making
Fair play to the bloke. I wonder how many other people have a similar story? Got screwed over by the Industry and couldn't take it anymore so quit or got fired.
It's cool to finally achieve a dream even if it's years later.
