Damn, I got ~300 and think it’s too much

Jumi , in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?

I’m excited for Manor Lord

iheartneopets , in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?

Lies of P: it comes out today, so we shall see. I’m looking for something to scratch the fromsoft itch until the elden ring dlc comes out. Idk how I’ll feel about playing a named character though; hopefully the storytelling will be strong enough to support that.

House flipper 2: I really enjoyed the first game, so I’m excited to see how they iterate on it going forward.

Scene Investigator: I loved their first game The Painscreek Killings (sadly never talked about when investigation games come up in gaming communities, definitely a gem), and the investigation genre is one of my favorites. It’s a genre that is still evolving in exciting ways, so I can’t wait to see how this game pushes it forward.

Shashingo: a learn-Japanese-vocab game played via taking in-game photos. I’m always looking for fun methods of beefing up my language learning, and Japanese is one of those languages that seems to mostly fall flat on language learning apps. So this one looks fun :)

What is Godot?

deaf_fish ,

It’s a free and open source game engine a bit like Unity. godotengine.org

I use it and I think it is quite nice.

tfw_no_toiletpaper , in Nice?

This is so horrible that I am tempted to use it as copypasta and actually sending it to people

I can only hope this continues

Is there any reason to install it via steam and not just via the official site?

Doods ,

Maybe auto updates?

leprasmurf ,

I don’t use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I’m coding.

  • edit: yeah, that update thing @MJBrune mentions too 😀
Russianranger , in Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business

Interesting to see Valve at 6.5 bn, I would have guessed they were higher given the extent of Steam as a distribution platform. But I guess that makes sense some other companies have a myriad of other digital and physical products, where Valve has only their small slice in both (Half Life, Counter Strike, L4D, Ricochet for digital, and Steam Deck, Index, some merchandise for physical)

ThePac ,

It probably is higher. Much higher.

My understanding is that, because they’re a private company, all we can do is vaguely guess

It’s interesting to me that Amazon isn’t on this list. AWS is massive, it’s the biggest cloud provider in the world and Luna still exists.

EnglishMobster ,

It appears to just count revenue from gaming streams, of which Amazon has very little.

JoshuaSlowpoke777 , in Microsoft estimated Valve’s revenue in 2021 at $6.5bn Interesting to see another view on the scale of Valve’s business

Why is Microsoft, of all groups, monitoring Valve’s profits? That seems kinda weird to me, as though it’s overstepping some sort of boundary.

SheeEttin ,

Xbox

zigmus64 ,

Myriad reasons. Guarantee Apple, Google, Sony, Tencent, and others on that list maintain a similar list.

folkrav ,

They’re both into gaming hardware and game distribution. Companies pretty much always watch what their competition is doing.

HidingCat ,

I didn't expect the Lemmy privacy mindset to go so far; competitor analysis is a thing in business, and when you aggregate such data you can also analyse industry trends and your business's position in it. I don't see why it's a boundary?

An interesting thing to note is how big mobile gaming is when compared to PC gaming.

Apple and Google are largely on here because of their 30% platform cut (this chart only tracks gaming revenue). Steam takes the same cut yet has less than half the revenue.

(Note that while Tencent and NetEase are largely mobile publishers, they are not exclusively mobile publishers - League of Legends is owned by Tencent.)

How is Sony’s profit that much bigger than Nintendo? Basically everyone and their grandmother has at least 1 switch + games. Genuinely curious.

@toybastard@lemmy.world avatar

Sony makes a lot more things than video games. Ever see the prices on one of their cameras?

hot_milky ,

This is just gaming revenue, otherwise Microsoft and Apple would clear.
