Don’t forget to leave a negative review if you do this.

And a few thousands more during December IIRC

better revenue shares for developers?
Money bonuses for exclusivity is great for developers?

It actually goes to publishers, so the only way devs see that extra cut is by self-publishing. So I guess for smaller indie devs it can be a good deal.

You might be onto something, I Believe Godus also launched on Android (and maybe iOS) simultaneously, so maybe they did develop the game with a mobile first approach.

Winning Game of the year is a great honor and I want to first thank everyone that voted for us and I want to congratulate all the other nominees. This has been an incredibly competitive year and you each would have deserved to win this award @CapcomUSA_ @remedygames @insomniacgames @NintendoAmerica

I want to thank @geoffkeighley and the people that organized the #gameawards for creating an award show so big that it gets mainstream attention. While 30 secs is a bit short , there’s nothing like the game awards and it’s an incredible achievement

I wore armor at the #gameawards because BG3 is a game that couldn’t exist without its our player community and I wanted to pay tribute to how important they’ve been for the development. You rock community BG3

Making a game like this only works if you have an incredible passionate and talented team and in that regard I am incredibly lucky with the @larianstudios – they are some of the finest and they did a truly amazing job

Over 2000 people are listed in the credits and since I can’t call out everyone, I want to focus on a group of people that don’t always get the credit they deserve

Team QA, team localisation, team customer support, team operations, team publishing, team play testers, and every other developer at Larian, BG3 wouldn’t exist without you and you all deserve to be very proud of this

I want to dedicate this award to the friends and family members we lost during development including Jim, our lead cinematic animator who passed away last month and personally to my father who passed away the week before we launched our early access campaign

You don’t get to make something like BG3 if you don’t have the support from the people around you. Personally, I really want to thank 5 special people, a crazy dog and a one-eyed cat for sticking with me

Big shout out also to our localization partners and @PitStopTweets who had to use every corner of their building to record and performance capture what was an insane number of lines

To our actors – you did great. I hope our paths will cross again in the future and your agents will remain their usual reasonable selves :)
I also want to thank @Wizards_DnD and specifically the DnD team for giving us carte blanche. I’m really sorry to hear so many of you were let go. It’s a sad thing to realize that of the people who were in the original meeting room, there’s almost nobody left. I hope you all end up well

There are many more partners I want to thank. We asked much of you all, but you delivered and without your efforts, BG3 would not be what it is

I want to end with a story of a conversation I had a long time ago with a publisher. He told me, luckily for them, games are driven by idealism. He meant it in an exploitative way but he was right

Games are a unique art form, as important as books, music or movies. Many developers, myself included, make games because they love seeing others engage with their creations in a way only games can offer

They don’t care that much about the money made beyond it being the fuel they need to create new and better games. It’s worth reminding everyone that fuel is but a means, not a goal. Whereto and how we journey are what matter and what we remember

Thank you.

That’s the oldest trick in the book: appealing to nostalgia to sell more copies. Bethesda did it again!

Exactly. If games were released in a polished state, I’m sure more people would buy them at full price.

Still how can you expect anyone to challenge the tip clubs if they’re never allowed to spend that kind of money.

I think this is enforced to avoid City/Chelsea situations in La Liga.

Probably the only Silent Hill game that might need a remake is the first one, since it’s so archaic technically.

That’s the thing, Devs usually don’t get a better cut, publishers do. So unless their publisher isn’t hoarding all the money (lmao) or they self-publish their games, Devs don’t even get to smell that extra cut.

Out of 394 games, I’ve only paid 53,50€ or more for 3 of them. What a cheap bastard LMAO

I’ve been reading a few of the negative reviews, and people often complain about the price too. They find the game too expensive for what it offers. High price + adding Denuvo last minute without warning + trying to force people to log into EOS = Sega shooting themselves on the foot stupidly, IMHO.

They put KOTOR 2 but they didn’t try Kreia??

Context

At least it’s stated in the game’s Steam page. Dead Space Remake has Denuvo since day 1 and there was no warning in their Steam page at all for a long time. Last time I checked they had added the warning, though.

This is more recent

And apparently squenix “said that they consider blockchain technology critical to their growth.” LOL

Sigh, I miss Squaresoft.

I think Ubisoft( who else lol) released one not long ago.
