According to that site they made losses for 3 straight years but still managed to stay in business. There's a good chance they're still paying off debts as a result. I don't know enough about accounting to really talk about the rest of the figures, although I can see their share price is down...

And what about their OPEX and CAPEX numbers? The game could sell be selling big, but they could be losing money elsewhere. Maybe the publishers are taking a big cut. Maybe the CEO is in debt to some mob boss. There's too many variables to say for sure. But whatever. Welcome to capitalism...

Based on what evidence? Unless you're their accountant you can't say how well a company is doing. It's not like they'll be posting on Twitter about how broke they are and how the company is close to folding. That's not how you keep investors happy. Also, remember that software evolves. It's...

It depends what you class as "retro", really. I can't keep my old machines due to space limitations, so I only have a PS4 now. But I play a lot of games on PC that are a few years old. Does that count? :)

Wait... They're asking for money? For additional content? That was made by real people with bills to pay? The nerve of some people! I have nothing productive to add, I think Zhukov has it spot on. Besides, a "donation" gets you nothing in return beyond that warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Maybe it's because I'm closer in age to the developers than most of you guys, but I'm not that interested in a new 3D platformer. Yeah, I enjoyed Mario Galaxy a few years ago, but I doubt I'd buy one for PS4. There's plenty of those games on PC, 3DS and WiiU, so maybe you guys need a different...

I'm surprised, but I can kind of understand it. He has been getting sick of "the machine" and because Escapist is driven by advertising I expect there have been conflicts along the way. I reckon the Patreon thing is a bit of a gamble and I'm not sure he'll get the amount he's looking for. You...

Most of the time, those kind of discount and loyalty cards say in the T&Cs that they remain the property of the store. And since you're swapping one item they own for another, there's nothing wrong with it. It's a crappy thing to have to do, but them's the rules. So once again you can thank...

I don't disagree. I'm driven to deride Destiny as a disappointment due to decrepit mechanics*. * I haven't played it, so what do I know?

I don't subscribe to any of these theories definitively. Multiple universes is the easiest one to explain. You create an alternative where you didn't get your sandwich. Yawn, boring. Too easy. I don't think that's how it'd work if that was the case, although we'd never know because we'd...

I've only played D3 online a handful of times (because I found it totally pointless and frustrating), so for me having it always-online is pointless. Likewise, I had to suffer the launch problems with login servers falling over. Which as a single-player gamer isn't fair. I shouldn't have paid...

I actually really enjoyed GTA4, but then I hadn't played a GTA game since 3 (no I never played San Andreas, deal with it) so I wasn't expecting the list of endless unrealistic fun-but-ultimately-outside-the-realms-of-possibility stuff that a lot of people seemed to expect. Which I think is cool...

Am I the only one who thinks that the reason the vast majority of games have male leads is simply because the majority of writers are male and you write what you know? If that's the case then yes, it does also put forward an argument for getting in more female writers (I think Rihanna...

Looks like Kratos is making an appearance in picture 1. So it WILL be brutal.

I've always loved Family Guy and never understood why the internet as a whole seems to have this massive hate for it. I also think that in the same way It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia took a few episodes to pick up (for me), it gets funnier the more you watch it. There's some really...
