subject: Pachter: it kills the industry of online games [print this page] is, aos you, yes you, the killing of aos in the gaming industry. That if one of the many millions of players who now play online games. Bastards.
After several years of strong growth, the game industry has hit some of the recent sales figures fell from year to year. Of course, there were aos global recession that has hit every industry, but it is apparently more than that when it comes to games.
According to Michael Pachter, is that online games aos is to blame.
According to MCV , he recently told investors:
We still believe that the biggest factor in the decrease in sales in the past 18 months is online multiplayer functionality, with 25 million people in many titles for hours. On the basis of statements made by Microsoft earlier this year, it seems that millions of people playing multiplayer online games for an average of 10 hours per week, is making a serious dent in the specified time to play other games. We believe that the popularity of multiplayer online games have caused a general decline in sales of packaged products and we expect this decline to continue, unless the publisher to change the model for multiplayer.
to already do . Many publishers are preparing to charge for online gaming in one form or another. Pachter continued:
You can of course take many forms, including doing nothing, adding premium services for a fee, or limit the amount of multiplayer content, which is available for free. While we expect that publishers will continue to offer free multiplayer content, which is similar to what the quality of today, we expect publishers to channel their efforts on improving the multiplayer, offering a premium subscription service, in hopes of driving more customers to increase service to pay. When publishers settle on a business model for making multiplayer online games, we expect investors to the sector once again, we can expect more multiples.
If you play online regularly to do many things. Since that opportunity for free, may end soon. And if you tend to buy used games, and not prepare for the new then screwed over twice. Because, clearly Aore spawn of Satan.
