Saros, 76M$ bütçeli ve yüksek puanlı bir oyun olmasına rağmen, ilk hafta satışlarında Returnal’i geride bıraktı. Düşüş, pazarlama stratejilerini yeniden değerlendirmenin bir işareti. Bu dönüş, sektörde stratejik yaklaşımları gözden geçirme ihtiyacını vurguluyor.

Information Control/Asymmetry - Controlling the attitudes and trends within the market. This is a major one I see all the time. Instead of allowing an environment of diverse views, they will try to control the opinions of the larger group.

This is a MAJOR issue. You cannot express any opinions that do not fall into very specific avenues. There is an army of people recruited that will outright ban or block any opinion not sanctioned.

The things I worry about when it comes to the "Board Game Industry" are the classic market destroying things Capitalists do.

While there is no "regulatory" body for board gaming (so no "rent-seekng" or "regulatory-capture"), the market is still open for manipulation through various techniques.

Monopolization - Not a factor, as long as new game publishers are still viable businesses (see rent-seeking, regulatory-capture)

#boardgames #Boardgaming #gamingindustry

I've been collecting and playing board games since the 1980's.

The market/consumers/industry has always shifted to where the money is.

Various people will always cry, "The industry is dead/dying!" False, the industry is moving toward the money.

The board gaming industry is based within capitalism. Someone is making money exploiting the cheapest labor, the cheapest materials, the cheapest printing, etc. (This is capitalism.)

SEGA admits that frequent 'definitive' re-releases like Persona 5 Royal may be hurting initial game sales as fans hesitate, waiting for expanded editions instead of buying at launch.

Is this strategy backfiring?

Ubisoft's earnings report was fashionably late, all thanks to an "accounting issue" tied to their Tencent deal. Guess someone missed a semicolon in the financial ledger!

Good news though: a cool €1.16B from Tencent is inbound, fueling Vantage Studios and big IPs like Assassin's Creed. Is financial reporting the ultimate boss fight in tech?

Battlefield 6 sold 7 million copies in 3 days. EA's accountants are probably swimming in gold coins Scrooge McDuck-style. But wait, there's a plot twist! EA's also going private in a $55B sale, which has their unionized staff worried about transparency and power. Is this the typical triple-A dev cycle, or something more?

I'm not against dropping millions of dollars on a game studio for their next game.

I'm against of doing so for something generic, something for a saturated market.

Execs are not gamers, that why the fail. They can't understand that #Fortnite, #Roblox, #COD, #Minecraft, #GTA, #LoL, #CSGO, won't be replaced for their next game. They already exist.

The failure is not doing something different. Look at #Repo and #Peak, ffs.
