Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League flopped badly when it launched earlier this year, and it hasn’t shown any signs of turning things around. At the moment, SteamDB indicates that 161 people are currently playing the game on Steam, and while that isn’t the whole picture—Suicide Squad is also available on Xbox and PlayStation—it’s sure not a sign of good things happening.
The persistently near-subterranean player counts has led to worries that WB Games might do a Redfall and pull the plug on planned future updates—although hopefully without pulling the plug on the entire development studio in the process. From a business perspective, it’s not an unreasonable suggestion: Why put however much money a full year of content takes to create (presumably a lot) for the…
Read moreIn an interview with Aftermath, Yanis Varoufakis, former economist in residence at Valve, says that the company unintentionally prototyped the digital economic hellscape we’re currently forced to languish under. That hellscape is the subject of his book Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, published earlier this year, and it’s one he says he helped create.
As Varoufakis describes it, we no longer live under capitalism. Instead, he says we’re in the age of “technofeudalism,” a condition which emerged from and supplanted capitalism. The essential feature of this new era, according to the economist, are algorithmic fiefdoms that masquerade as marketplaces, extracting rent and dictating the terms of exchange while producing none of the goods themselves. Amazon is a p…
Read moreThese days Disney has its fingers in everything, but not so long ago the company was firmly in its old lane of animation powerhouse and theme park operator. With videogames in particular, Disney struggled to do much beyond licensing its characters, perhaps the biggest success being the collaboration with Square Enix that resulted in the Kingdom Hearts series.
In the mid-2000s something changed, and Disney decided to grasp the nettle and make its own big-budget game with its most iconic character: the House of Mouse had acquired Junction Point Studios, a dream team founded and headed up by Warren Spector, and Epic Mickey began.
The idea behind the game had been floating around Disney for a while (though it hinged on re-acquiring the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit), a…

Read moreThe World of Warcraft community discovered almost by accident recently that the lead creator of the game’s stories has quietly left Blizzard.
Warcraft narrative director Steve Danuser’s departure wasn’t announced, but rather discovered by fans who noticed an update to his LinkedIn page that sets the end of his Blizzard employment to last November, right around the time of the annual BlizzCon convention in Anaheim.
Danuser confirmed his exit to PC Gamer, telling me that he had “nothing particularly noteworthy” to say about his departure—although he did offer two reasons—and Blizzard also confirmed the news when reached for comment.
“World of Warcraft is made greater by the teamwork of the many stewards of Azeroth over its near 20-year history,” said a Blizza…
