    FFXIV, but this doesn’t mean much because it’s dependent on what genres you like.

    Most historically significant? Ultima 4, Wizardry 1, Pool of Radiance, Mario 1, Metroid 1, FF4, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Counterstrike, Starcraft, Diablo 1, WoW, Cave Story, World of Goo, Minecraft, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Zelda BotW



  • With recent big game releases, it’s become obvious that a game is either a resounding success, or complete shit. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground.

    You’re saying this from a player opinion perspective which is accurate, but it’s also interesting that companies act the same way. If a big game doesn’t make 10 zillion dollars now there’s a good chance the entire company gets shut down.






  • Think I know what happened here. Apple will reject updates if there’s anything broken or outdated in it. ie, support for a new screen aspect ratio, the dynamic island thing, new processor type, new version of Xcode, etc. Square can’t just fix one bug and ship it, they have to also check for and update anything that may have fallen a few years out of date. Sometimes you just recompile and click a few new checkboxes, sometimes it’s more work. If the app’s profits are winding down already, it could make more sense (to bean counters who don’t care about game preservation) to retire the app entirely.
