#12 MINUTES ON ELM STREET UPDATE#
On top of unique cosmetics and kill animations, the recent Next Era of Horror update introduced a number of features such as seasonal leaderboards, a dedicated in-game chat system, and even a relic system which shakes up the core gameplay. The mobile version already stands out from other platforms in a number of ways. Whereas other games have seen success with more complex gameplay mechanics, Dead by Daylight’s simplicity means that a variety of killers can slip easily into the game world and this has seen some of the biggest names in horror - from Stranger Things’ Demogorgon to A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger - join the game’s growing roster.

We'll only have to wait until next month's EU descision to discover whether this really is the death knell or just a stumbling block. But hey, stranger things have happened in the gaming market. Many people point out how comical it is that cloud gaming of all things may scupper the acquisition, if not in terms of money then significance. Right now the main emotions expressed seem to be frustration from proponents of the deal and amusement from opponents. Perhaps they were taken in by the marketing-speak of “play any game, anywhere, any time” as it set off alarm bells? The issues of the platform's many limitations, small user base and ongoing tortuous route to mainstream adoption seems to have passed them by. I feel there may be an issue of misunderstanding (or less game-literate 'experts') in the CMA. And when King has been stressed as the biggest part of this deal and rakes in so much cash, you’d think it’d be like shooting fish in a barrel if the CMA did want a real reason to halt the deal. However, Activision Blizzard is not exactly the big thing in cloud gaming. And if it gets more people to play, then games will be all the better for it. Personally I like being able to play my games without having to worry about an internet connection, but I can see the appeal. Well this is certainly a turn-up for the books isn’t it? Cloud gaming is one of those things that I’ve come around to the more familiar I get with it.

While it would be great to see them reevaluate the terms of their fee, the likelihood is we’ll see some kind of appeal and the lawsuit will continue to be dragged out. At the end of the day this is Apple though. If developers are able to have their games on the app store but then direct those players to a third-party webpage to take in-game payments, the 30% bite that Apple takes gets dodged.Īdding this alternative payment method therefore seems a no brainer and would go a long way for many developers to ensure that they are reaping the real rewards of their product. Now it turns out that this was a violation of California’s anti-steering laws and as such the ONE case they lost could turn out to the most critical. Developers have previously attempted to direct players to third party sources to take payments instead which was met with a swift block from Apple. Game developers, particularly indie devs often find the world of the Apple app store difficult given the 30% cut that the platform takes. Winning nine out of ten claims is an absolute result for Apple right? Well there's a downside. Apple emerges victorious in antitrust appeal against Epic Games
