    CAGcast #637: Iron Man Down

    When you all brought up why Nintendo has these 1 cent sales, I recall reading an article explaining that.  https://kotaku.com/developers-cash-in-by-selling-their-switch-games-for-pe-1838184195 Basically because the Nintendo store is bad at sorting and advertising things, developers put games...

    CAGcast #586: Say My Name!

    For everyone here, the issue with these working conditions is on management and executives, and it is that profit driven decision making that results in the working conditions. And that all of it is preventable. But as long as it's hand waved away with "profit" nothing will change. Which is why...

    CAGcast #584: SEO Tips and Tricks

    So I'm going to take issue with Shipwreck's executives matter take. They made their decisions at the cost of people actually making the games. They have no reason to have let the work conditions to reach such a stress point. I've read Jason's article and caught his recap on Kotaku's podcast, and...

    CAGcast #579: Build the Fence!

    Regarding Activision, is also how they are fired, which is unceremoniously at the drop of a hat. Everyone knew something was coming since December, but no details were available until the call. There are better ways to fire people that Activision didn't do. Which is why we need a union.

    CAGcast #367: Head Games

    Also note in Warframe periodically hands out discounts for the Platinum for daily logins. They come in 25%, 50%, and 75% off. With the discounts the prices for their goods sound much more reasonable. I got 1000 plat for 12 bucks on my last 75% discount, which has been enough for me to buy bits...

    So having to respond Yes, the 900k numbers of cameras sold was because their marketers underestimated the demand because their estimates were based on the games made for the camera and their previous sale history.

    CAGcast #333: So Long and Thanks for all the Fish, Phil

    If there ever was a game that sold consoles, I can only look to Monster Hunter and how it kept the PSP afloat that entire time. I did buy my 3DS for MH3U, though currently hanging on to it for ACNL. I feel Smash Brothers can push Wii U sales once its sure that its not brawl.  Also I'm a bit put...

    CAGcast #287: Stand and Deliver

    1. Romance of the Three Kingdom's is a Chinese story. Nobunaga was Japanese. 2. Kinect needs a way to register closed hands so you can "grab" things instead of having to snap to it.

    CAGcast #270: Man Down

    Well between the Kickstarter announcement and now I've read at least 4 different articles articulating this position, the biggest one being "developers don't make money off sales."
