Re: Netflix Shuts Down Oxenfree Developer Night School Studio

So glad not to be a Netflix subscriber right now. And if I were, I’d be cancelling my subscription this minute. I loved Oxenfree, it was pretty unique. This studio had something going for them. I hope they find a way to reform somehow, after everybody gets some serious severance package.

Re: "I Can't Afford To Give It Away For Free" - Silksong's Low Price Is Causing Devs To Re-Evaluate Their Own Games

Like @UltimateOtaku91 says, it's a very different matter to make a a game guaranteed to sell millions than one trying to find a minority audience. That minority , together, will have to pay for the full price of development. The same applies to lots of different "limited edition" products. It's tricky, but it is what it is. Production costs must be covered somehow (if you're lucky).

Re: Atari And Choice Provisions' New Take On 'Breakout' Gets March Release Date

Most of these remakes and resurrections seem to be full of flashy effects that make it nearly impossible to focus on the gameplay. At least judging by the trailers - I find that so off-putting I never really try the games myself. Are they really as bad as they make them look? Can the effects be disabled at least? I’d be up for some brick-breaking!!
