Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games

Wall Street moneyfolk are not having a good time. They're openly weeping into their expensive suit sleeves and not even a thousand pictures of lines going up can reassure them. They're sad about Roblox . The everythingverse of user-made games generally aimed at kids has let them down by changing its algorithm to push less kids towards "games that emphasise short-term monetisation". Cue $9 billion being lopped off Roblox Corp's market cap valuation, because how could the game's makers allow such a travesty to happen? Read more

"I Don't Understand This Hate Towards Arcade Game Design" - Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Dev Comments Trigger Fresh Debate

"I can deal with disappointment. This feels more like a betrayal". Once upon a time, the place to experience cutting-edge games and mechanics was the arcade. Back when coin-ops were king, the hardware that drove these titles was more powerful than home systems, but they were also backed up by high skill ceilings – an understandable situation, given that the objective of operators was to pull in as much coinage as possible. The upshot of this difficulty was that dedicated players were able to learn the mechanics and eventually get so good they could 'one credit complete' many games – and, when playing arcade titles today, a big part of the appeal is flexing your skills in a challenging environment.

Capcom Isn't Fussed About A Potential All-Digital Future

"Approximately 90% of our unit sales are digital". The idea of a potential all-digital future is still very much doing the rounds at the moment, with Sony confirming that it will be ceasing the production of PS5 discs from January 2028 (and if you thought it might reverse course, think again ). One company that doesn't seem too fussed about such an eventuality is Capcom. During a Q&A session for its latest financial release, it was asked what kind of impact it anticipates from the shrinking physical media market. The answer? Basically no impact at all.

Review: The Pico GX Makes One Of Console Gaming's Most Infamous Flops Infinitely More Appealing

Amstrad GX4000, you are forgiven. The world of video gaming is littered with hardware flops, but few of them are quite as catastrophic as the Amstrad GX4000 . It's easy to see why this ill-fated 1990 console made sense from a business perspective; systems like the NES and Master System were gathering momentum in Europe at the time, while the Mega Drive, PC Engine and Neo Geo were proving that this console-based revolution was no mere flash in the pan. Nintendo was also about to release its Super Famicom in Japan, more proof that consoles were the next big thing in home entertainment. Read the full article on timeextension.com
