If you could invest ten million US dollars in one gaming studio, which would you choose?

If Todd would quit bethesda and make his own game company, I'd invest millions into his game.

...

Todd is being held back by the incompetence of his subordinates. He's the best man in the industry. The fabled savior of the games industry, if you will.

P.s: I never stop shilling this game. It's just too cute. I want a sequel, NOW.

My video game development studio which as of yet is unnamed. I make game. Any choice besides "fund yourself" is stupid.
The industry is sick. The goddamn chinks, gooks and nips shit out their "products" on a daily basis and most western developers copy what they think was successful in the past, mix in the latest marketing and present it as if it were gourmet. We all know it's far from masterwork status. The cure to the sickness of the industry is independent developers, individuals or small groups bent on making new kinds of games. Not bound by the Chinese, by stockholders or anyone else - these people with the freedom to fail and the room to succeed.
JUST LIKE MAKE GAME [yourself]!

Call me when sum will be in billions.

Studio HD MR
One of the brothers who founded it a literal Chad

They would piss it all away you know.

Sega of japan.
But I would insist on separating or outright closing NA and EU departments.

Rareware; but only if I can take over. If not, SNK and/or treasure, and then Hudson Soft.

Also this

Maxis.
Oh, wait…

A shell company that would allow me to launder 9 of that 10 million into untraceable, liquid assets.
The "studio's" only release would be a text adventure that caters to the under class, which my group has been grooming for consumption of my new media.
Any additional profits would be funneled into quasi-legal activities and the development of future laundering fronts.

SNK, SpikeChunsoft, Devolver Digital, Illusion, Croteam, THQNordic, Redshift, Petroglyph, Crate Entertainmment, Eugen Systems, Stardock or Taleworlds
Either that or one of the countless VNs circles/companies I like

Sega only if I could have a spot on the board of directors and actually have enough influence for them not to fuck up when they're on the right path.

I'd give it all to Yoko Taro.

You think 10M is enough to convince sega to start releasing DRM free pc games again?

That's how you tell everyone you don't know anything about Sega's history.

I can understand the American branch but the European branch actually has third party devs under their wing, actual good ones too.

Roughly how long is this game, I was thinking about grabbing it off GOG on the sale.

That whoreshit sickens me every time I see it. genuine depression is not "I has a sad" or "I hate me, plz tell me I'm wrong" bullshit, more like "fuck eating ice cream, fuck driving to the beach, fuck playing video games, fuck everything, I want to sleep forever". I almost got my wish last night. Died in my sleep (heart issue), but it restarted. There's always tonight.

>Implying half the nip cocksuckers even know Sega Sammy was founded by a White jewish men in Hawaii
Thats a laugh

Remove american and european segas altogether.

For the last 10 years they were doing the opposite of their previous history.
But if you like denuvo in your 2D sonic then sure go ahead, support western segas.

Hang yourself? I mean you don't want to live, so why waster air?

To be fair, a lot of people are unfamiliar with clinical depression and conceptually the suppression of your mood is an extremely hard concept to grasp

I'd try and get all the original talent from Looking Glass studios and make a proper Thief game.

Without Western Sega branches we wouldn't even have the games in English or even a PC port for that matter.
Shit, we wouldn't even have Mania in the first place.

Its the Nips pushing the 3D Sonic garbage, it was the Western branches that pushed for Mania in the first place.

It doesn't help that medical doctors aren't allowed to really tell therapists they shouldn't call traumatic misery, depression.

But this time they'll have a budget that isn't a few moths and dust clouds coming out of an empty wallet

30% are working at Otherside, 30% are working at Arkane, 30% are working at Eidos and 10% are working at Valve.
Good luck with that

That's a good thing.
They were releasing PC games on disks for quite a while. I think they still do, since most of their PC games aren't on steam in japan and are sold on disks the old way.
It would be fan game like it started as, the only thing that changed is sega logo in it, and maybe some budget that went into tying it in with Forces.
They push it for gaijins, nobody in japan gives a fuck about sonic for decades now.

i'd invest it into my brand new start-up company, gibmedat game.

No wonder you're such a faggot.

Team Cherry, Falcom, Spike Chunsoft, Platinum games, or Atlus (eh on the Atlus but they're still worth investing in imo). They're all small enough to where 10 million dollaridoos would actually have an impact and they're companies I respect.
Sega is a bit too big and they haven't fully won my trust yet with that bullshit denuvo fuckery.

It's doable.
I'm talking as if I have 10 million ;_;

...

So you would waste my investment like a retard then

Supergiant.

...

Did I just get baited

Judging by your ID yeah you did.

Either this guy or Platinum. I'd be hesitant to give it to Taro, though, since I feel like SquareEnix would get their hands on it somehow.

Not really, I'm not learning Katakana anytime soon.
No they don't, they haven't done that since the Dreamcast died aside from Sonic and their European propreties
Sure, but we still don't know how this will go in the future, Mania did well and Forces did not.
We haven't seen something like ever since Valve actually gave a fuck about their community, we could be seeing an actual budget and an engine from scratch, this shit literally dictated the future of Sonic, and its looking decent considering how badly Forces did.
More 2D is a good thing, more 2D platforming games from non indie companies is a good thing.
True, doesn't stop the fact that they keep pushing fucking garbage no different from other kike tier AAA companies.

Arika so they can make a PC port of Fighting EX Layer

For what its worth I hope you feel better and make it through this user.

I want to know whos the publisher already

It's probably gonna be Arc System Works. The game was revealed on stage with ASW, they have a long ass history of publishing other dev's fighters and they just opened up their own western branch.

Fuck I sure hope so
I just want to see Capcom raped on the fightan end.

ManeSix DevTeam
Im not even a furry/brony, I just like the 2D animation and cute animals

Level-5 doesn't need my money, but if it means more comfy games for the foreseeable future, then they get all the money. If we're talking financial investments, Nintendo is doing damned well right now. Jumping in on that money train now, especially with this hypothetical money, means the dividends are going to be quite nice for a very long time.

Taleworlds, would surely speed up the release of bannerlord anyways. Would like to see other games come from them too.

I'd probably split most of it for some company that deserves it, maybe Devolver if that gives AA games a boost by convincing some indie developers to get out of their comfort zones.
The rest would just be voting with my wallet. (NanaOn-Sha, and some other small obscure PS1/PS2 era japanese devs)

None, they all suck and should be abolished. You would need a new studio

I'd send it to Yoko so he could make more games without SE.

i'd just hire the original members of the doom team to make another one. depending on how much money was left over once they got it all ready to roll i'd probably also hire slayer, megadeth etc to write a couple songs for it

Not very ethical to give them money tbh

Ubisoft, Bethesda or some other cancerous AAA dev. Preferably one that's about to release a big game. The goal of investment is to make money after all.

Now if you'd asked who would I give 10 million dollars to it'd probably be Croteam, RWS or someone like that.

Not my money? Ron Gilbert's. Dude deserves it.

My money? None, fuck video games, buy a house or something and rent it.

Vanillaware. I'm curious what they'd do with ten times the budget DC had.

Why would you make a new doom game, they just made one recently. It has a decent multiplayer but more importantly the arcade mode should keep you busy for years to come. I see no reason to make a new one. If you must just get them to make DLC.

This is the kind of shit that ruined the gaming industry. Doom was a breath of fresh air but it won't be when they are making a new doom game every fucking year.

no, my sweet summer child. i'm not talking bethesda presents: nudoom feat. only 12 enemies on screen at once, i'm talking the original team, making a great new shooter the way they used to do

This is bait.

It's pretty short. I'm sure you could 100% it in less than 20 hours.

ggez

Is that enough to buy Maxis from EA, get the old team together, and have them make a faithful successor to SimCity4?

Because if so, that's what I do. If not, I'll invest it all into perfecting the art of dragon dildos.

The SEGA of japan stopped caring about sonic a long time ago, fuck they stopped caring about MAKING games a long time ago, now they just find small dev groups and offer them 10% of the earnings in return for publishing it.

Why would you support someone who hates you?

My Home Ltd.

Ha nobody emailed the devs asking why the fuck there's such a question in what is essentially a game for kids.

Gotta indoctrinate them when they're young

But do they have any statement about it? Why do we always post this image instead of trying to get their attention about it?

Larian, then I'd tell them to make a Divinity 3 and don't skimp out on Playable Orcs

This is also a good choice

After Nier:A being what it is god no. Maybe if I got to hear what he was planning but otherwise you'd be better off just putting the money to porn.

Todd is a visionary.

I can't think of a single one that would actually have a use for 10 million. I guess I'd try to reform Bullfrog.

The ten million and then some.

this is the only correct answer

It would probably be enough for a couple more Star citizen ships.

thats not even enough to cover half the marketing budget

Invest in my own studio and make my dream game come true.

You play as a fallen angel who with time regrets going against God and siding with Lucifer.
Watching your fellow Demons commit atrocities against humanity you decide you had enough and attempt to get away from all of it, to try and redeem yourself though you are well aware that your actions could never be forgiven. God's judgment was ultimate and nothing you do will ever make up for the sins you committed.

You slowly start helping the locals to fight against the demons by teaching them how to build holy weapons and rituals and try to fight the weaker demons off by yourself. Through battle you become stronger and with every Demon or evil creature you kill, you consume their souls. This makes you a lot stronger but at the same time eats away at what's left of your soul.

At the final stages of the game Lucifer and other ex-Archangels are about to wipe out all of humanity and earn enough power to once again confront the Heavens. You are alone against them all. In the meantime Byzantium (which you helped with creating an army specialized in fighting Demons and other Hellish creatures), has concentrated an army of 70,000 men to fight against Islamic forces. In the game's universe Islam was a religion made by Lucifer with the only purpose to trick humans
A huge battle takes place as humans fight against each other and you confront Lucifer and his subjects.
In the very end, after you have miraculously saved both Humanity and the Heavens, you are lying on the ground slowly dying as the Demonic powers you had consumed from all this time are eating you from within.
Then, as you beg for God to forgive you for your sins, the Heavens open and the five Archangels show up. Their light is blinding and their voices are hypnotizing. With every last power left in your wretched body you get up and kneel like a loyal Knight as you can't dare to look them in the eyes without shame. Archangel Michael walks up to you and places the blade of his sword on your shoulder.
"Get up, face me" he says and so you do. God has forgiven you. You are to be the 6th highest ranked Archangel guarding God's forsaken throne.

Your struggle was rewarded.

sounds like shit tbh

Oh ok

tldr nobody cares

Sounds like some twist-take on Dante's Inferno. Idea is cool, but wheres the GAMEPLAY? What genre? What mechanics? TELL ME.

And then you kill God right?

Not gonna lie, I'd play this for the story.
Could go either way towards the end, either you're consumed by hubris and Lucifer embraces you as he expires telling you that now you too know how he felt. Or a good ending where you're confronted with an unironically merciful God that rewards you for your penance and shows you that you were his chosen servant from the beginning and you were unknowingly being his instrument to save the unsaved.

Way to try to turn it into a carbon copy of every other game alluding to christian mythology ever made.

I'd give it to Sam Hyde for his weird video game projects.
I'd love to see what he would do with a massive pile of money.

Can I just give it to charity instead? I don't like any of these niggers enough to give them 10 million dollarydoos.

He'll blow your cash on weed and thai boipuccis.

Action adventure / hack & slash
Not sure, it's still mostly just an idea. Would probably be an autistic mix of Souls and Devil May Cry.

Good idea, will write it up just in case this thing ever gets to become a game or book.

>(((charity)))

I just want Dragon's Dogma 2. God I want it so badly. I would kidnap the team that made it from Crapcom and give them the money. Imagine, a bigger world, more enemies, more classes, more awkward pawn/NPC dialogues, more cringeworthy romantic options, maybe a more flexible leveling system and more options in climbing combat. Damn that would be so awesome.

Like giving money to a drug addict. You'll speed up his way down. Sam needs a boss, someone who keeps him in line.

Same.Capcom is adverse to make money with actual work and only with fucking DLC bullshit

Do you really want to see what Capcom can shit out after the disaster that is MHW? I'd almost pay them money to just fuck off and stop ruining the few good things they haven't ruined yet.

There's already a game with the same mechanics and largely similar vision you unoriginal hack.

I've met the guy.
He's a smoker alright, but I don't think he's a pothead. He doesn't like drugs.

Did you cuddle with him?

I trust Itsuno,they should just give him money and time and he will whip out another good game.

No, it was at a standup show he did inside some guy's house.
Great show, it was really surreal being in somebody's living room watching Sam throw Sieg Heils in the corner.

DD is not that old. Most of the team probably still works there.

Not similar at all actually you dumb fucking nigger.
My vision is superior

I have to admit that I'm not too big on religious-themed media. Either it comes off as extremely preachy, cheesy or just dumb, especially if the media expects you to know the "backstory" so to say. SMT: Lucifer's call was pretty cool though, it felt more natural because you got swept up in this struggle between heaven and hell, without any heavy-handed rhethoric or explanation on either side.

If you want to make a game that focuses on story and morality, then maybe an RPG would be better? The games pacing wouldn't suffer as much, and you wouldn't need to hamfist anything.
On that note, I don't recall any hack-and-slash games where the story wasn't extremely shallow, DMC is allowed this because it focuses on "rule-of-cool." Don't let the gameplay come in the way of a good story and vice-versa.

I want to see an alternate, cliched ending where God doesn't forgive you and you need to fight him

Not gonna lie, I'd play a dark souls like game where I fight shit like Daniel's four beasts, The Tarasque or Abaddon and his army of Locusts

I wouldn't. I'd invest it in a stock index fund with a weighted bond component, because that's the only prudent way to invest unless you're made of money.

Like, five or six I guess.

All we ever get is broken shit while japs keeps all the good games to themselves anyways.

They gave up on PSO2 and they won't even bother with Dragon's Dogma Online either. I hate the western branches because their existence alone just gives false hope for nothing.

Just buy out some dead IPs you like and then sell them to good devs.

Haven't seen much footage yet, what's wrong with it?

I'd hire assassins to take out everyone at EA and ubisoft and improve the gaming industry.

You're a small guy.

Give Vanillaware 1.5M, put the rest in crypto (probably put 6M into BTC/ETH, gamble on shitcoins with the rest). 10M is far too high a budget for a game to reliably be good, too many moving parts at that point.

Suda51

You should pitch it to Sony, I'm sure they would pick it up.

3u

Its not on the outdated engine like the Pokefag autists who bought it were used to, despite modern releases who also use the outdated engin also being as mediocre as they say MHW is

...

Already exists

...

Why even game?

It might happen one day
We're getting a LWA game, so thats a start for it to happen.

Who cares what your vision is like? Dante's Inferno is a game and yours is not.

Otherwise I would agree, but both are already masters at over-the-top action. Trigger does more outlandish stuff that is more closer to comedy, while Platinum is balls-out crazy with it's roots in half-way believable stories with the occasional joke or two. You can't have too much of a good thing, you know? It would be like those albums with all your favorite musicians collaborating; everyone wants to shine but there's only room for a few songs.

Inferno Cop game when?

>Have to travel between small pieces of RNG based land for supplies
I'm not even a theist

I'd give it to kojima but he had to agree that any cutscene on every game he makes has to be under 6 minutes long and the player character can't be standing still or walking while listening to plot for more than 1 minute.

He'd just make a game with exactly 6 minute long cutscenes at every checkpoint where the character wouldn't be listening to any plot, but rather explain the plot to the other characters.

This is the only smart post on this thread.

...

Petroglyph under condition they hire all the ex-Westwood people that are still alive.

Alternatively, jut pay Will Wright to create new Maxis.

No, you have to make a game to avoid jail. So spend 10 million making a game that should have only cost 1 million to make, while paying yourself an exorbitant salary, then declare the company bankrupt. You don't get the whole 9 million as a lump sum, but you throw it around like bribes to ensure you get money thrown back at you.

sage

My own, and unlike the fag earlier in the thread I'll actually use the money to make games. And with that much money I'd probably get a popular but underloved and cheap license like Shadowrun (mind you I have plenty of my own game ideas, but getting in a game from an already existing genre would likely help get my companies name out there better).

...

I wouldn't invest that sort of money in a video game company: that sector is too volatile and unpredictable and the rewards you get too little reward for so much risk. I would invest it, instead, in real estate, precious metals, lumber, tobacco and alcohol and the dividends I make off of those investments can be used to fund my own game studio that I don't have to care if it makes a profit or not from the sale of video games.

Team Shanghai Alice ;^)

I don't follow this guys stuff, but that sounds like the summation of his work from what I've seen.

I'd probably give it to Streum On and hope beyond hope Deathwing was a fluke.

some porn game

But Deathwing is good if you managed expectations

Just for that, I'm going to reinstall it and give it a second chance!

I expected a myriad of tech issues at launch since this is fucking Streum On and the mapper is autistic for better or for worse.

The game is a decent 40K L4D clone with some nice gimmicks, especially now that it doesn't chug like shit and has additional content that doesn't make it look so barren.

Also, wait for the Enhanced edition, its the culmination of the console ports with a fuckhuge content update.
Should come out this month, it was at leat advertised as so.

I'd probably invest it into Platinum Games, because I am a pleb and it would be fun to watch how free money would ruin and affect the studio.

Blocked

Streum On is a good dev but a bit inexperienced. Remember that they started off essentially as just modders and they only have made 2 games before Deathwing. Deathwing was a good game but probably rushed.

It sounds prett cool.
I could imagine it playing out similar to Blood Will Tell. Except for Demons who have your bodyparts you hunt hellls Superior Devils and with each kill you get their souls and upgrades. Choosing certain upgrades would diminish your soul quicker and lead to the bad end while harmless ones and weaker upgrades would lead to a harder game but good ending.

Hows that sound?

I don't think 10 million is enough to find and gather all of the 3 good programmers and 2 artists in the world

Even if you're just shitposting, there's probably some truth to this. Although I'm pretty sure the higher-ups are the even bigger problem.

There are plenty still out there but they tend to be fairly conservative types and jumped ship during the industry's consolidation in San Francisco and Vancouver. Most of them are IT sector now but there are a few of them hiding behind indie projects here and there.

Whats there besides E.Y.E?
Unless you're counting their Half Life TC as a full release

He is, unless he means their unreleased homebrew board game.

Honestly if Bethesda could find some nutjob pagan or shaman to write the next story I'd probably be far more tolerant of Todd's "IT JUST WERKS" bullshit. TES has always been weak in the gameplay department but the older ones managed to make up for it in other ways that kept things interesting, which fell off more the longer the company was in Zenimax's hands.

Jesus Christ, for ten mil, I could hire a writer, four programmers, two artfags, a composer and an office maid, and just put together something on our own. helps that, while certainly not a specialist in any area, i'm competent enough in all of them
And still we'd have nine million left over after equipment and wages, because I'm not a Sanfran cuck trying to run a fifty man indie team, paying everyone $30 an hour to make a walking simulator.

Pic Related.

Vanilla Ware

EA.
Then pull it out once they've grown another 20% in 5 years time.

I am surprised that I couldn't find Zachtronics in this thread. I think with a proper schedule these guys could produce some amazing games.

Bethshit has more issues than just writing

...

Fuck off, neo/v/ newfag

Global report.

Headcannon

Yeah, I meant their Half Life mod. Syndicate: Black Ops.

What the fuck is this? Did someone make this unironically?

Cuckchan console wars
Yes

Aye
Have you played it?
Been meaning to give it a try but always fall into other game and forget to.

No, but apparently it's pretty similar to EYE.

Of course, but I'd say that a lot of it flows downhill from the shit job at worldbuilding that modern Beth has done. Their inability to make a setting robust enough to frame interesting quests within it is one of the biggest reasons for the series' decline. It's why despite Morrowind having the same basic fetchquest/killquest structure and just as many issues with its gameplay as its sequels, its still the better game of the last three.

Jesus fuck

fake news

They've had sound webms for awhile.
It's above the file limit, though. Unless they've raised it beyond 4MB.

It was probably a youtube upload.

Your point stands, but Morrowinds UI, combat, world and gameplay design is completely different to its successors though.

Feel free to say hi

webmshare

Give the money to platinum for a Kill La Kill game.

Kill la Kill story without ayy lmao, I'd pay 10 mil for that.

Banpresto

I'd sink it into Bitkike and sell at a marginal profit for a massive guaranteed return. But if I were to assume that I'd be stupid enough to invest in video game studios instead of more sensible things like stock in energy companies or medical companies, I'd probably put it in Valve just because they basically shit out cash from retarded normalfags.

Dynamix

My own. Pay off the rest of my tuition for that computer science degree as well as the tuition of the few talented coders I've met on campus. Come together as a studio and make video games.

...

Short version: It's easy as fuck, makes Hunters much more mobile while leaving the monsters at the same pace as before if not slower, dumbs down the Armor system, removes the need to learn about monster behavior or weaknesses, allows you to run while using items or shooting guns, and just overall is more of a generic Western game than an actual video game.

Holy warrior starts killing Demons until the power of Satan makes him eviil and then larps as Vlad the Impaler.

Doesn't sound like what my idea is like at all.

Hello Games

Actually search up who wons who

I know Bamco owns them, I want them to be rich enough to escape the clutches of Bamco.

If all you cared about was money?

Blizzard. They are in the best position of any game studio. Massive game sales, merchandise, residual income from cash shop items that cost nothing, subscriptions from WoW and also, they're right at the forefront of pro gaming as a spectator sport.

You may not want to acknowledge them but they are there like a looming behemoth…

lol

What's that music?

alternatively

He said he'll make porn too, as long as he's paid.

The newfag is you~

Rockstar.

My own.
Then I'd immediately close the studio and keep the money.
Seriously, why the fuck would I give somebody else 10 million bucks, unless I already had over a billion lying around?

In case you meant "if you had Bill Gates money, who would you toss your $10,000,000 pocket change to", I'd give it to the La-Mulana devs in installments. 1 Million for each game they create of the same difficulty, scope and quality as La-Mulana. They don't all have to be the same setting, or cookie-cutters of each other, they just have to be as good as that fucking masterpiece.
I hope to fuck La-Mulana 2 doesn't suck.

I'd give it to American McGee

first, avoid EA.

...

No surprise here.
The higher ups just want a cock sucker like Todd to be the face of the franchise.

Oregon Trail 2?

...

Checked.
Also the pic. What kind of a spoiled person thinks that 8 hours to sleep is too little??? I mean shit, I have no idea when I've last slept over 6 hours a night, it's been years. Fucking lazy spoiled fucks.

My own and then just take the money

It's not that 8 hours is too few, it's that the character won't get any sleep in that time.

Whichever one makes it easiest for me to embezzle ten million dollars.
Why would I make video games with that kind of money when I can live comfortably for a few decades?

I'd buy the Katamari series from Bandai with probably 20% of it, then make the best Katamari game ever.

you're gonna make it user-san, it's not worth it

What studio would you guys buy back from some entity like EA if you had the money?

I would make my own.
It seems as a lot better choice.
Maybe I would be able to make moddable TBS, which doesn't suck.

*I meant TRPG.

If "Inexperienced" means that they haven't taken the long dick of the AAA kike studios, then count me fucking in.

omg westwood. I want a proper C&C ending.

Keep the millions to myself.

Vanillaware

I would hire a team of enforcers who would force the lazy turkroaches to finish the butterlord

I would buy a nuke and detonate it at Mark's house.

do you have more food pics user

if only those damed nips would port their games to pc

Also this

One for each Game Over

Why bother?

Pandemic

IIRC that's an edit my dudes. Can anyone who played the game confirm it's there?

id give it to kojima so that he can convince some game company to put out whatthefuckever game he wants, then, instead of doing anything involving creating a game, well just hire kurt russell to do motioncap as an excuse for me, kojima, and kurt russell to hang out and talk about conspiracies, action movies, the government, and general societal decline

I'd split it between maybe 11 or 12 different projects. That kind of money is an all-corrupting force on game design.

Well, see, I wouldn't blow it on any software/media developers, whose results are for starters very likely to be of very limited significance, and then beyond that are at risk of running into the ground. So I'd invest it hardware side, into gaming systems. A platform tends to be so much more than a game, no?

So, I'd invest it into the people making the 86duinno. I'd get them to integrate a Direct3d 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.0 / miniGL and/or ISA or vesa compatible video card, if not voodoo compatibility(perhaps partially implemented with the possibility to be supplemented by software) with at least VGA and S-video.

I'd probably also get them to branch off into making a more normal RISC based fruitberry pi with desktop OpenGL(which I believe would mean a freescale i.MX6 or i.MX8 SOC) with component video out and probably also VGA, and whatever other interesting extras would be possible and cost efficient.

Mischief Makers 2

I'd recommend you go play their first game, GR3, if you haven't. I hold a candle for La-Mulana 2 since the original is my favorite game, but mostly I hope in the future they'll move on to other styles of game. As much as they've nailed the archaeological exploration adventure I think they have a much firmer grasp on the evolution of classic games in general. Based on things they've said in the past I think they might try to make a Metal Gear-styled top down stealth game at some point.

I'd burn it

…oh yeah, and I'd prod them to expand into VIA nano based boards. Or even something based on the older C7 or C3 chips, if that was what available and a good deal.

And with driver development, that seems like it would be the biggest hurdle / cost.

And to make up to a DTX versions, with expansion slots.

But then, I'd only be expecting one extra product, either VIA or ARM/MIPS based, whichever turned out to have better prospects, I wouldn't want them streched too thin.

For what, emulator boxes?

Bring back Maxis and make sims 5.
make it be the ultimate autism micro managing life simulator with kinky world.

My bedroom production company

hi sir can i buy a bedroom? i would like one window and one restroom with bath tub.
