    The problem is you have to release good games or you damage the IP; WH 40K is in that boat, great games sit alongside poor ones and that tarnishes your reputation.

    "Embracer Group's latest financial report shows a positive outlook"

    After firing 7761 developers, closing 36 studios and cancelling 88 games in just 1 year.

    They still had operating loss. It's positive that they are in less bad shape than before, but they are still doing badly.

    Are those operating losses before or after paying their expensive good for nothing CEOs.

    Remake & bundle the PS2 hack and slash games and I'll buy it.

    Remake The Third Age JRPG and I will definitely buy it.

    This is my worry also. You make a great point about Warhammer they release so many games and most just seemed like garbage. I don't even look at them now. Maybe they have gotten better and Rogue Trader was certainly good but I wouldn't have even considered it if I didint like the the devs other games.

    With Lord of the rings the last two games they released were really bad gollum and the Mines of Moria were killed by reviews.

    THe problem with an IP like Lord of the RIngs is that people have expectations....Things have to be a certain way or people wont like it......Also I dont know how many single player games Lord of the RIngs has...It seems like alot and they all feel about the same....I know whenever Steam has a big sale there are usually 3-4 of them for 5 bucks or less.

    Right I dont know of to many good ones. The battle for middle earth was good but were any of the ea ones besides that good at all? Its not even that its the ip expectations the games just being games have not been good.

    How many will be mobile gaming? I mean we DO all have phones right?

    In 2023 1.34 billion smart phones were sold.

    In 2023 the world's population was a little over 8.09 billion.

    Which means, only 16.5% of the world's population a bought a smart phone last year.

    So, not everyone has phones.

    Let's hope the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMORPG doesn't suck from AGS.

    They dropped it before but started again working on it in 23 I think

    Leyou Technologies, the developer of the AGS LotR, got bought by Tencent while they were making LotR and AGS had to start from scratch because they couldn't use anything Leyou made.

    My comment was clearly a reference back to the Diablo Immortal announcement when Blizzard said precisely that.

    Yeah, the Blizzard guy sure was right.

    Any video game company not chasing the mobile market is stupid.

    16.5% of the entire world bought smart phones just last year.
