Punished_Blinx 02/27/24 5:13:22 PM #20:	Right after the disappointing financial results so they can show better margins next quarter. Gross! It's going to be a rough decade ahead for gaming. Everything in the gaming industry peaked in 2021 and not many companies have an answer to show growth to investors. So less risks, less games and higher prices are going to be the solution for most. tremain07 posted... Meanwhile over at Nintendo..... Meanwhile at Nintendo they're trying to kill emulators for good. They sued Yuzu this same day. Nintendo are overall a bit different because I don't believe they went on a hiring and acquisition spree like most as they're generally more conservative. But they're also in a better spot than most right now with a new generation teasing everyone to grow spending. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:979078342] in Sony lays ...
