Article states that around mid 2009, Blizzard's claim of 11.5 million users is technically correct, but if each user is proportionally corrected to being equal in amount paid, the equivalent would be 6.5 million US/Western European subscribers. #video #games #blizzard #world #warcraft #of #statistics #disingenuous #gamers #numbers #pub

_So in 2013, revenue of $316 million, profits of $129 million, and $130 million paid to a separate company created by Notch, licensing the IP_ "Mojang more than doubled its profits in 2013, earning around $130 million in total. According to data given to The Wall Street Journal, the Minecraft developer increased its profits from SEK325 million to SEK816 million ($129 million) in 2013. Revenues were also on the rise, up 38 per cent from 2012 to hit SEK2.07 billion ($316 million). Overall, 38 per cent of the company's total revenue came from sales of the PC version of Minecraft. Console sales accounted for 30 per cent, and around 25 per cent came from the game's mobile version. The fact that Mojang's earnings are still rising on the basis of a five-year-old game is testament to its lasting appeal." #ballers #games #money #revenue #statistics #tech #pub

"Ys Net is raising funds for Shenmue 3 on Kickstarter! Yu Suzuki presents the long awaited third installment in the Shenmue series."

Favorite casual-ish single player game of all time. And one of the only ones I'd still be able to play. Final Fantasy games take too many hours and you have to do way too much battling for the story. Who has 40-60 hours when the story or exploring of areas or actual cool action stuff account for at most 20% of it all (8-12 hours vs 32-48 hours of the lame grinding of repetiive fighting).

Probably could play a game like Metal Gear Solid 2 again though. That was pretty awesome. The plot is no where near as interesting, immersive, or part of the game, but the game also only takes 10-15 hours. And like 75% of the actual gameplay is actually entertaining and challenging fun. #favorites #kickstarters #games #pub
