For those of us that hate reading fluff, here are the highlights of what’s going on in the industry.
- The big news of the week: Valve is joining the hardware battle. What does this really mean? Valve may create a new controller for PC games. I’m happy they’re not making another console.
- Sony loves European gamers more. It’s true. European Vita owners: 100 PS One games available. US: 10ish.
- Guild Wars 2 was released on the 28th of August. The day after my bday! We’ll have some insights from a level 20 player this Friday on Episode 49 of the GWW Podcast.
- We’re shrinking! Or finding other interests. According to market research firm Gamer Segmentation 2012: The New Faces of Gamers, the number of American gamers has receded by 5% since 2011. Digital and mobile gaming segments have grown.
I’m out.
