Why did ARC Raiders succeed and Highguard fail? Pachter Factor S11E06 with @michaelpachter.bsky.social is NOW FREE on YouTube! Both games are quality. How did the free game lose? Are live service games mostly just dumb luck?

Marathon:

Watching the build as Bungee's game gains some players but loses others for the massive microtransaction madness...

The 'initial' game is 40 dollars but to move on will cost more real money.

La historia de Nintendo desde sus inicios con cartas y naipes. Su transición hacia el entretenimiento familiar.
Y al final arcades y sus primeras consolas tipo pong.

Desde la fundación en Hawaii, los Arcades y su mejor momento de Mega Drive, la bicéfalia que enfrentba a las sedes américana y japonesa hasta la catástrofe de Dreamcast. Toma mucho partido por Sega America. Pero aún así es un gran libro lleno de datos.

The saddest part is when a game dies
Service Games-that name really encapsulates what goes on.
Aiming for the Team Shooter gap never sounds like fun
Playing them is not as fun these days because they aren't actually fun

Unreal Tournament is going to ring the bell again
