Given the scale of financial information generated every three months by dozens of game companies, we’ve been considering a simpler way of presentation.
Welcome to the third of our quarterly summary of game company financials.
Now expanded to include six key Japanese games companies, alongside the previously ranked western games companies (and Nintendo), the graphic for each region ranks each company in terms of its market capitalization.
You can then simply read along a row to see if a company beat (or not) its previous revenue and profit figures on a year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter basis.
NOTE: We’re not detailing the actual sales and income figures, just the short and long-term trends. A…
Newsbrief: Magic Leap’s Magic Leap One MR headset, due out at some point this year, will be exclusively distributed by AT&T in the United States.
While the headset itself doesn't have a solid release date quite yet, this distribution deal is a notable step closer to the MR headset's eventual release to developers and, later, to the general public.
The distribution plan is also part of a larger strategic relationship between the two companies that will see Magic Leap receive an investment from AT&T, though neither company detailed the exact size of that sum.
“We’ve joined with AT&T because we believe in a combined vision of expanding high-speed networks, edge computi…
Oculus has suspended Gear VR support for Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone "until further notice." Come from Soccer 13 pools and matches
The decision was taken after Samsung began to recall and exchange Note 7 handsets following widespread reports of batteries combusting at will.
As shown on Reddit, anyone trying to download the Gear VR app on a Note 7 is being told all support has been removed.
"Customer safety is Oculus' top priority. Oculus is removing all support for all Note 7 devices on the Oculus platform," reads the statement.
"Until further notice, Note 7 d…
Activision, the gaming giant behind Call of Duty, has announced a new studio based in Europe–Elsewhere Entertainment–that is creating an “all-new franchise.” This will be a “narrative-based IP,” but the company did not confirm any further details on the project.
GameSpot understands this will not be a new Call of Duty project and that the team has been working quietly on the game for some time. Activision investing in a non-sequel or franchise extension is a big move, as the company has in recent years tripled down on Call of Duty.
Elsewhere Entertainment, based in Warsaw, Poland, is Activision’s second studio in Poland, joining the Infinity Ward team in Krakow. Resources from Activision’s US teams are working with Elsewhere.
Activision is known best for its mega-fr…

Multiple Disney Villainous board games are on sale for super cheap in Target’s Deal Days sale, a new early Black Friday promotion running until December 16. The sale includes numerous popular board games for huge discounts, so you’ll definitely want to check out the full list, but the one caught our attention was Star Wars Villainous, Ravensburger’s popular strategy game that places players in the shoes of iconic characters from the dark side of the Force. Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side is available for only $15.
Star Wars Villainous sells for $30-$40, though it carries an MSRP of $50. Star Wars Villainous is only available from resellers at Amazon, so we’d be surprised if Target’s deal remains in stock for the duration of the sale. Check out the bes…
The Casting of Frank Stone is an odd name for a horror game. It almost implies we ought to know who Frank Stone is, or why his “casting” (whatever that means in this context) is notable. But after playing the game’s prologue, I still feel out of the loop. Supermassive, famous for cinematic horror games such as Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures Anthology, has been handed the reins to Behaviour Interactive’s Dead By Daylight (DBD) franchise for a cinematic spin-off that plays much like its other popular games.
That’s an exciting prospect in itself. Supermassive’s playable horror movies routinely make for terrific party games. But my prevailing impression after an hour with the game is that DBD fans will get more out of this than those who come in with…
