Any gamers here?

Yeah it's sad to see but this kind of freemium model is easy money for Blizzard, especially since they have established IPs like Diablo. The game already earned a revenue of US$24 million just two weeks after launch.

Unfortunately this model will probably become even more common in the industry because it's really easy money, like you said. I guess the gamers who are against this model are in the minority. Sigh.

Anyone remembers Metal Slug? It got remixed as a strategy game and it's...definitely different. Previews have been good so far but don't expect it to be the same game as what we remember from the arcades.

Hmm at first I was skeptical because I remember there have been a few Metal Slug games in more recent years that were quite poorly made and obvious attempts at making a quick buck, but this actually looks decent. At least they bothered to create brand new pixel art for the game so that's a good sign.

You're right. They released some mobile Metal Slug game a while ago and it had 3D graphics...obviously a lazy cash grab.

Wah nostalgic. I used to like watching others play the old metal slug games because the graphics were so interesting but also because it was a waste of money if I played it myself. :x

Weird. I think some copyright just got enforced recently. 
Here's the original link but it doesn't work for me now either.

But this alternate version is more or less the same.
