New GOG owner reckons it doesn’t have to beat Steam outright, just do a few things better: “If there’s a version of the game that’s clearly better on GOG, and it has the promise that it will run forever… people will come”

Michał Kiciński, co-founder of CD Projekt and owner of GOG, is adopting a nuanced strategy for digital game distribution, avoiding direct competition with Steam. GOG's managing director, Maciej Gołębiewski, emphasizes leveraging their strengths, while Kiciński believes in the quality of GOG's offerings and user loyalty. He envisions that as gamers recognize GOG's curated selection, they will naturally choose the platform. Additionally, recent reports indicate that games using generative AI, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Stellaris, have generated significant revenue. Kiciński focuses on building a community around quality content and user experience for GOG's future.

The multiplayer experience of Black Ops 7 is regarded as one of the best since Black Ops 4, despite criticisms of its content and similarities to previous titles.

Revenge of the Savage Planet director isn’t happy with the sequel’s revenue, despite it bringing in millions of players on Xbox Game Pass: ‘If you give stuff for free, what you’ve done is told people not to pay for it’

Revenge of the Savage Planet, released in May, received a Very Positive rating on Steam and an 81% review score, but has not achieved significant financial success despite over a million players. Creative director Alex Hutchinson expressed concerns that the influx of players through Game Pass has negatively impacted revenue, as the attach rate for the expansion pack among Game Pass users is low compared to those who purchased the game outright. He noted that players conditioned to expect free content are less likely to pay for additional content. Hutchinson described the current gaming landscape as a "race to the bottom," exacerbated by subscription services and discounts. While some industry voices, like Mike Rose, see benefits in visibility and sales from Game Pass, others, including former Xbox VP Pete Hines, agree that high adoption rates may reduce retail revenue. Microsoft acknowledged a significant revenue loss related to including Black Ops 6 in Game Pass, which contributed to a price increase for the service.
