Video games and industry news with emphasis on meta discussion. In practice this is a chronicle of death of western game development and societal descent into technofeudalist dystopia.
It is permissible to praise Valve, Steam and Gabe Newell here on the condition that you explicitly state that you still don't like them. This can be a disclaimer in your post or comment but I encourage doing so in your user flair for convenience. Failing to do so will result in a ban. This rule will be enforced with an iron fist.

Am I the only one freaked out by this? Like.. it's a single player game, how tf do you know how old I am when I play FF7R?
The fuck is a Circana? This must be one of those "ope you play the game you accept we extract all your data uwu". Even then tho you kinda have to collect a shit ton of data (more than a game has any right to) to be able to guess (or even know) the users age.
Also also, who cares? This data kinda makes sense. When you experience FF7 as a kid, really enjoy it, then come back to the remake because nostalgia, chances are, you're gonna be in the grandpa age bracket.
Circana is a market reaserch company previously known as NPD Group. With the power of surveys and statistics it’s not necessary to surveil entire gamer population to get reasonably accurate data on consumer demographics.
