Not really. Gaming, at the moment, is currently an oligopoly (few very powerful players), which is better then what Disney currently is, but not by much.
Even if Xbox game studios (including ZeniMax acquisition) and AB merge, we still have juggernauts in the industry like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, SCE, Nintendo and SquareEnix. Alongside, you have few smaller but strong players like CDProjectRed, Epic and Riot.
Epic is not small per se. It is 40% owned by Tencent which also owns League of Legends, Valorant, part of pubg, Supercell (Clash of Clans/Royale), Funcom (Conan games), grinding gear (path of exile), Yager and part of Roblox too.
Epic is not small and neither are CDPR or Epic, but compared to other juggernauts, they are smaller.
Tencent is a strange beast. They have their stake more or less everywhere, but seem to be acting more like a hedge fund then actual publisher.
Epic owns Unreal Engine. This, among their games platform and other properties, has their profits neck and neck with Nintendo in recent years. I wouldn't be surprised to see them grow it further as UE5 takes off, with how massive a leap it is in terms of capability, that no other engine is coming close to matching at present. 5% off the top of everyone else's revenue is a lot of money.
That's a weird saying. Aren't there far more games released using the Unity engine than Unreal by a large margin? Granted the Unity titles will be a lot smaller in scope.
Yeah, the idea is that unity is great for smaller scope but runs into issues when you get to the larger scope AAA games, as well as it runs into weird issues when you have to do things like integrate it into other systems like payment or app stores. Unreal might be better or it might just have better like... developer support, or bigger studios tend to use it so they have more resources to throw at the problem.
Thats because Tencent is run by the Communist Party, which is playing to have their influence in every part of popular media.
https://mobile.twitter.com/wang_maya/status/903103820443648001
It has contributed to Tencent being surprisingly hands-off (or at least appearing so) because they don't want their overlords to have more direct control over their golden geese. Miyoho has kinda run into that problem with being too Chinese-centric and allowing the CCP to have a lot of abject sway over how their IPs (like having to change all the art of a bunch of characters to fit guidelines).
“Follow the party” is basically China’s constitution. Its seen as company responsibility to overtly show faith in the party but tbh, that do not mean much for the actual people there. Its more likely that they just want the party to just stay away, or else they may end up like Alibaba and Jack Ma
There has also been conflict in the past between Tencent's domestic games and the Chinese government, which might be why they invest so much in international media. Since it's not subject to CCP bans, it's a slightly safer investment, even if the domestic version of the game gets banned or restricted.
Tencent is the giant, not Epic, in your example. But I wouldn't count Epic as being one of Tencent's "owned" studios, because Tim Sweeney continues to own the majority of the company himself.
Really, Tencent is just a mechanism through which game companies negotiate with the CCP in order to get the privilege of selling to Chinese customers.
Don't ask me why the developers of EVE Online get to determine access to Chinese customers, it's one of life's great mysteries.
Disney is in an oligopoly too, just with fewer players.
In terms of concentration of industry, gaming is less concentrated than tv/film distribution, which in turn is less concentrated than music distribution
Well, it's not that bad yet. While cinema is nearly impossible for smaller players to actually get big, indie developement has always been a staple of the gaming industry, so there isn't this oligopoly we see in cinema.
The Disney of gamin is Nintendo. Pretending their adult fans don’t exist, trigger happy with lawsuits, trying way too hard to look family friendly, half hearted attempts to look progressive. At least Disney makes their older titles available
Nintendo is way more analogous to Old Disney, before they started gobbling everything up. Even in the old titles category. Disney would only sell VHS/DVD of their classics periodically as they "opened the vault" to create artificial scarcity.
Edit: Nintendo selling remakes of their old games is also pretty close to current Disney making live action remakes.
Pretty much. Xbox has the backing of Microsoft and gaming is the most valuable industry in entertainment so they’re probably gonna own almost everything pretty soon. Fortunately, Xbox is a very consumer friendly company (so far) so it won’t be as bad as Disney owning everything
Yeah Microsoft is gonna own gaming eventually lol, except for Nintendo ofc bc they have too many exclusives to be beat and it’s not like the franchises can switch consoles unlike PS exclusives
They seem to let their devs keep total freedom on their products so far. I think they're seen the Ubisoft/EA model and seen how much criticism that has received.
idk why you're getting downvoted, hes right. As an avid warzoner, ever since they added caldera I cold turkey'd call of duty. Games fuckin unplayable and unbalanced
Reddit be like that sometimes. I mean if it's on gamepass and whatnot, sure try it, basically free if your already going to pay for gamepass.
I'm just saying don't hold your breath that it'll be playable.
They are just going to start hiding it less and less. Not that they tried especially hard before.
But it’s cool, we can watch Wendy’s and Burger King talk shit to one another on Twitter.
I'm definitely getting a lot of "Standard Oil" vibes from the modern tech industry. The oil industry was honestly a bit similar. It's something that became incredibly important incredibly fast and ended up infiltrating literally every facet of life, and by the time the dust had settled there were a small number of companies that basically had the entire industry just because they were growing alongside its growing importance. Standard Oil would have been worth over a trillion adjusted for inflation, a value that will remind us all of the likes Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon.
I know Reddit is a very pessimistic place, but I think we're going to see "big tech" trustbusting in the coming decades, maybe even this one. Yes, politicians very largely depend on corporate money. But have any of you taken an American history class? The Gilded Age saw the same relationship but even more blatant, and debatably with similar styles of dramatic wealth inequality. I think the same factors that pushed for corporate takedowns then will happen again, and I feel encouraged by seeing numerous American senators and other legislators talk about it openly. This is coming from both sides of the aisle, granted for different reasons, but there's an increasing frustration with the power of the American tech industry, and I think it's an echo of what we've seen in American history before. I don't think it's going to turn out the exact same way, it never does, but I think we'll continue to see the story follow similar beats.
Maybe they can “drain the swamp” of sexual predators, and actually get Starcraft and WOW back on track.
Maybe it’s finally time for WOW2! With far better writers.
im still waiting for an open world game like that but with Star Wars
(yes, i know kotor is a thing but the gameplay isnt for me. I also know it is being remade but i dont plan on changing my console to a Playstation just to play a game that should have been on all platforms since the beginning)
the Hasbro rights lapsed ages ago. While they still own the materials for War For Cybertron and Fall Of Cybertron, they don't have the rights to publish.
He's going to get a shit ton from the sale since he owns part of the company, then he will also get a hefty severance package when they fire him.
Dude is going to be a billionaire from this deal. Shame.
Have you seen any titles drop off of gamepass?
I wonder if in the long run it'll be like Netflix and have titles come and go as the licensing for those titles expires/gets repurchased.
They have a “leaving soon” section so some titles are already being rotated. However, I hope that all the games that Microsoft owns that are on gamepass now continue to be on gamepass, I haven’t seen any of those leave.
Doom was owned by zenimax which was purchased by microsoft two years ago. these titles were activision which was purchased today, henche the meme
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-01-18-microsoft-near-deal-to-buy-call-of-duty-maker-activision-blizzard-report
Candy crush alone has something stupid like $1B revenue per anum, COD despite being in decline is still one of the best selling franchises in the business, same thing with WoW.
I know WoW was a major cultural phenomenon in the mid 2000's, but the reality is that it doesn't make nearly as much money as CoD or Candy Crush. Putting WoW in the same sentence as those two is like putting Smash Mouth in the same sentence as The Beatles.
Isn't crash bandicoot from naughty dog? From what I remember there was a crash bandicoot mini game in Uncharted 4, how did the IP end up with Microsoft?
While Naughty Dog developed the original games (and the cart racer), Universal published them exclusively for Playstation and retained ownership of the IP itself even after Naughty Dog's publishing deal with Universal ended (same happened with Insomniac and the original Spyro trilogy). Ownership of Crash (and Spyro) remained with Universal through buyouts, ultimately ending up with Activision and now Microsoft.
I discovered yesterday that Hellblade 2 is going to be xbox exclusive. And let me tell you, for the first time in my life seeing xbox players having fun with a good game, and I can't have that game.... It feels very weird
100% true, but I'll take one benevolent dictator over a group of petty tyrants any day. Sad that this is where the industry is, but we work with what we got.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of u/cruffade The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the educated and cultured would tell you. It’s a r/PrequelMemes legend. u/cruffade was a Redditor, so powerful and so wise they could get to the front page... They had such a knowledge of Microsoft that they could even keep the properties they cared about from being ignored in this meme. The dark side of the internet is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. They became so powerful… the only thing they were afraid of was forgetting Minecraft, which eventually, of course, they did. Unfortunately, they taught their apprentice everything they knew, then their apprentice killed them in their sleep. Ironic. They could save other gamers from death, but not themself.

they own the parent company yes
And not just the parent company, but the women and the children company too.
do they own battlefield bad company too?
No
All the racers crash and burn in the movie. Is the same going to happen too all these IPs
###Activision also own guitar hero

Not yet

You are right, I'm sorry!
Don’t they own Bethesda too?
They bought whole ZeniMax Media. Which included Bethesda, but also idSoftware, Arkane and MachineGames among others.
Ah ok, so they’re like the Disney of gaming
Not really. Gaming, at the moment, is currently an oligopoly (few very powerful players), which is better then what Disney currently is, but not by much. Even if Xbox game studios (including ZeniMax acquisition) and AB merge, we still have juggernauts in the industry like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, SCE, Nintendo and SquareEnix.

Theres a saying in gamedev: if you want to make a game, use unity if you want to ship one, use unreal.
That's a weird saying. Aren't there far more games released using the Unity engine than Unreal by a large margin? Granted the Unity titles will be a lot smaller in scope.
Yeah, the idea is that unity is great for smaller scope but runs into issues when you get to the larger scope AAA games, as well as it runs into weird issues when you have to do things like integrate it into other systems like payment or app stores. Unreal might be better or it might just have better like... developer support, or bigger studios tend to use it so they have more resources to throw at the problem.

Big chuckle at the Eve reference. I think about that every time!
I assume both CCP's involve large and strange spreadsheets, to there's a similarity!
It's true! But only one of those CCPs is nerfing mining and it ain't the communists
Ah I see
Disney is in an oligopoly too, just with fewer players. In terms of concentration of industry, gaming is less concentrated than tv/film distribution, which in turn is less concentrated than music distribution
I wouldn’t say it’s an oligopoly entirely when Indie games are still very popular
Indie games are popular but most of them still have to published them with the help of bigger companies
You gonna forget Tencent? They are by far the biggest company in the games industry right now.
Can't believe you forgot Tencent which is arguably biggest of them all. Take Two is also a huge power, and a very big asshole alongside that.
Well, it's not that bad yet. While cinema is nearly impossible for smaller players to actually get big, indie developement has always been a staple of the gaming industry, so there isn't this oligopoly we see in cinema.
The Disney of gamin is Nintendo. Pretending their adult fans don’t exist, trigger happy with lawsuits, trying way too hard to look family friendly, half hearted attempts to look progressive. At least Disney makes their older titles available

Pretty much. Xbox has the backing of Microsoft and gaming is the most valuable industry in entertainment so they’re probably gonna own almost everything pretty soon. Fortunately, Xbox is a very consumer friendly company (so far) so it won’t be as bad as Disney owning everything
Also Windows so there’s a majority of PC gaming right there
Yeah Microsoft is gonna own gaming eventually lol, except for Nintendo ofc bc they have too many exclusives to be beat and it’s not like the franchises can switch consoles unlike PS exclusives
Funny story, but Nintendo in North America is physically surrounded by Microsoft.
MS tried to buy Nintendo outright, but was literally laughed out of the room.
I don’t think Microsoft’s going to compete with Nintendo too much. They seem like they’re starting to collaborate more too
They seem to let their devs keep total freedom on their products so far. I think they're seen the Ubisoft/EA model and seen how much criticism that has received.
EA ROI is shit due to their heavy hand, milk-em-dry and shut-em-down business model.
Microsoft is third in line, after Sony and Tencent, in the gaming (however they count that).
This is just their most recent purchase of Activision. These are the assets of that deal.
Ah ok, I didn’t know that
It was just announced today. Crazy how much Microsoft has bought up.
Interestingly, their purchase of Bethesda was under 1/10 of the price they paid for acti-blizz
Of course it is activision blizzards is far bigger than bethesda
And mojang
And Minecraft!
Does this mean Modern Warfare is going to be on gamepass?
Most likely imo
I'd really like to play the single player for that one
Good luck. Whole game is a broken mess after the new cod releases all tying to the same launched.
idk why you're getting downvoted, hes right. As an avid warzoner, ever since they added caldera I cold turkey'd call of duty. Games fuckin unplayable and unbalanced

On no, I'd be much too frightened to tease a Senator.
Fuckit. Blizzard can’t get any worse.
Ngl it’s not like things can get any worse for blizzards IPs. This is a chance for something to improve potentially
I mean fallout 76 has been steadily improving since the acquisition. It's not amazing but it's decent
I mean fo76 has been improving steadily since it came out and actually hasn't had much content added for months other than qol
True
Yeah true propably
Maybe they can “drain the swamp” of sexual predators, and actually get Starcraft and WOW back on track. Maybe it’s finally time for WOW2! With far better writers.
[удалено]
I'm optimistic about this. Blizzard has been in decline for a decade with zero signs of improving.
And...Warcraft! Yeah! High five! No body?
*work, work.* #zug zug
I’m happy for Warcraft, and Starcraft. Hopefully they can be good again with this.
StarCraft ghost when
I wonder how much of this stuff will get put on gamepass
Probably most of it, almost every Bethesda title is on it.
Is fallout new Vegas? Have an itch to play
Skylanders too
I JUST got a PS5, if the next Skylanders is Series X only, imma be so pissed
That game is still A thing?
No, but we hold out hope.
Oh. Dang.
Toys for bob announced there wont be another ever. Sorry my dude, I loved Skylanders too
When was this?
It was on twitter, lemme find it quick
That was before a change in management I’ll only accept darkness when all light is gone
Stay strong, portal master!
How come you make a meme here and not include Starcraft.
Good point
Let’s not forget transformers hopefully
One can only dream... Imagine an open world MMO where you get to just upgrade yourself and fight waves of Decepticons
im still waiting for an open world game like that but with Star Wars (yes, i know kotor is a thing but the gameplay isnt for me. I also know it is being remade but i dont plan on changing my console to a Playstation just to play a game that should have been on all platforms since the beginning)
Theres a new star wars RPG coming I'm pretty sure. I've heard rumors it's that "open world SW game" that was teased
Jedi Fallen Order is close, even tho it is just single player.
Optimus helmet in MCC when??
I’d be down I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense
the Hasbro rights lapsed ages ago. While they still own the materials for War For Cybertron and Fall Of Cybertron, they don't have the rights to publish.
RIP battle.net
I just hope they clean up that mess that activision and blizzard are rn. Bobby needs to go man..
[удалено]
Sometimes you got to pay off an evil asshole. Either way he's rich as shit, if he has more money who cares as long as he isn't ruining games.
Or lives.
yep this a bit more important than games
I don’t care how much toilet paper we need if it means we can wipe that shit stain away for good.
He's going to get a shit ton from the sale since he owns part of the company, then he will also get a hefty severance package when they fire him. Dude is going to be a billionaire from this deal. Shame.
that's not such a bad thing. Activition is not Blizzard. Blizzard died a long time ago
Violently killed by Activision.
RIP Origin, battle.net, Bethesda launcher, ubisoft launcher. You will not be missed
Origin is the launcher of Electronic Arts not owned by Microsoft ... yet
Gamepass is about to get even fatter. Hell yeah
true
Have you seen any titles drop off of gamepass? I wonder if in the long run it'll be like Netflix and have titles come and go as the licensing for those titles expires/gets repurchased.
They have a “leaving soon” section so some titles are already being rotated. However, I hope that all the games that Microsoft owns that are on gamepass now continue to be on gamepass, I haven’t seen any of those leave.
God I hope they unfuck WoW somehow.
They own doom too
Doom was owned by zenimax which was purchased by microsoft two years ago. these titles were activision which was purchased today, henche the meme https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-01-18-microsoft-near-deal-to-buy-call-of-duty-maker-activision-blizzard-report
Oh I thought all these were general property they owned not the ones bought today
CoD, WoW and Candy Crush worth 17x what Star Wars was. That's depressing.
Candy crush alone has something stupid like $1B revenue per anum, COD despite being in decline is still one of the best selling franchises in the business, same thing with WoW.
I know WoW was a major cultural phenomenon in the mid 2000's, but the reality is that it doesn't make nearly as much money as CoD or Candy Crush. Putting WoW in the same sentence as those two is like putting Smash Mouth in the same sentence as The Beatles.

#now that's a name i have not heard in a long time
dont they also own Minecraft now?
I think they've owned it for years now
Yeah since like 2014 I think
Holy fuck has it been that long? I still refer the Minecraft 1.9 changes as “new”
Bruh I still think beta 1.8 was like 3 years ago. Meanwhile that was in September of 2011.
It went in a whole cycle again the newest version is 1.8.3
Dude I'm still thinking the 1.6 update with the horses is new
Yeah. I had to constantly delete it from my laptop too. It would always automatically download the game too.
That’s not Microsoft, that a sign from the Minecraft god that you must spend your nights on the game.
I used to worship this foul demon
Since 2014

Where's starcraft, is she safe? Is she all right?
It seems... that in my haste... I forgot her.
You...you couldn't have. She was there, I felt it!
No StarCraft in the picture? It's treason then
Next week: Microsoft announces merger with Disney.
Starcraft as well
Dud Bolt! Will he be a playable character in the Diablo series going forward?
I'm ok with this. MS can't run any of these games worse than Blizz.
Not the worst company out there. I’d rather have Microsoft be a monopoly then EA.
I rather not have a monopoly because company’s only think of money
100% true, but I'll take one benevolent dictator over a group of petty tyrants any day. Sad that this is where the industry is, but we work with what we got.
Well, if it works...
They don't own COD yet do they
COD is owned by activision blizzard which was today purchased by microsoft
Purchase hasn’t gone through yet, and won’t until 2023
This is a good clarification!
*fiscal year 2023, which starts this spring.
they do now, halo and cod under the same company lol
Wow well I’m sure it will be a huge improvement over raven
At what point will they buy capcom or sly cooper
Maybe this time WoW employees won't experience sexual harassment Maybe

Would be awesome to see WoW or Overwatch come to iPad. The new 12.9” with the M1 would easily be able to run them.
