    As a gamer since early 90s I decided to look through my played games list of at least 256 games, avg year of the game release is 2005, oldest I’ve played is from 1981 and newest is 2023. By the decades:

    • 80s - 10 games (actually more but I did not record them all)
    • 90s - 51 games
    • 2000s - 113 games
    • 2010s - 72 games
    • 2020s - 10 games

    About play time… I play mostly pre2020 stuff, mostly minecraft (lol) and playing all the good classic stuff I’ve missed since 3d era, finished Thief 1/2 recently. I actually trying to find something new I like since I bought decent gpu, but it is hard… I don’t care about Fortnite/Overwatch/CS2 (CS 1.x + bots/Source ftw)/AnyGameWithLargeSword. Meme about buying $ XXX gpu just to play Terraria is real.

    Electronic Arts has announced the closure of Ridgeline Games, the studio working on a new single-player Battlefield campaign.

    As reported by IGN, the project is reportedly set to continue with “some” employees from Ridgeline set to join Ripple Effect – another Battlefield studio working on a different experience within the franchise.

    This is according to an internal note seen by IGN, which suggested Criterion producer Danny Isaac and studio head of creative Darren White will take over the project following the departure of Ridgeline’s former head and founder Marcus Lehto yesterday.

    GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to EA for further clarification.

    The news followed mass layoffs at EA, which will see 5% of its workforce cut as part of its restructuring plan which involves closing offices and sunsetting some of its live service games.

    EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a note to staff that the company is planning to “move away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry.”
