I just thought about it. Shouldn't the same reason we believe applies to Grounded as a candidate to become multiplatform apply also to State of Decay 2?

Plus, wouldn't State of Decay have a higher incentive to expand its audience?
Wouldn't it bring even more visibility to the Xbox ecosystem considering the State of Decay 3 is not too far off?

I think they are moreso talking about the gaming industry overall, not specific games or specific publishers. So far each year gaming revenue has increased, especially from 2016-2021 where the growth was so fast we had analysts projecting huge growth for the next several years, one projected a growth to $321b by 2026, another to $358b in 2026 and $583b by 2030. 

However this past year was rough for gaming, hardware targets were missed, software and revenue targets were missed for quite a few publishers, most publishers reported either losses or flat revenue, only a few with tepid single digit growth I believe. Publishers are projecting slow growth or flat 2024's as well. The explosive growth that was predicted back in 2021 isn't happening. Word around the industry is that the publishers are basically going into turtle mode to weather the storm, they are trimming the fat via layoffs, they aren't greenlighting new IP nearly as much as usual and are instead sticking with safe sequels, neither publishers nor venture capitalists want to invest in new studio start-ups.

The analysts were hoping that some things like the Switch 2 launch would be able to get the industry jump started again, but now it's looking like Switch 2 has been delayed into Q1 or Q2 2025.

On the one hand, it does make sense for those reasons.

On the other hand, it is slightly different because Sea of Thieves/Grounded seemingly have no sequel in sight, they will continue to receive content updates to support the title, while State of Decay 2 may be something that Undead Labs wants to eventually stop supporting with State of Decay 3 round the corner.

Starting RoboNoble now.

Roboquest? I was thinking about playing that.

Heard that one was a pretty decent game, lemme know if it's any good I might pick it up myself at some point.

On xbox?

Robocop

So you wouldn't like it.

PC is garbage. Get that bitch on Piss 5, playboy.
