Atari may have been instrumental in the genesis of arcade and home video gaming, but by the time the 1990s rolled around, its glory days were arguably long behind it. The video crash of 1983 had effectively killed the ’old’ Atari, with parent company Warner Communications offloading the consumer electronics and home computer divisions to former Commodore boss Jack Tramiel in 1984 – an event which led to the birth of the new ‘Atari Corporation’.

Histoire de la Jaguar, et donc forcément d’Atari, avec des témoignages exclusifs liés au développement de la console et des jeux développés sur cette plateforme.

The metaverse is often associated with speculative newness, but the core experiences engaging 100M’s of active users today are about games with music experiences and movie crossovers. Sony’s business is tantalizingly central to it all.

“The metaverse is at the same time a social space and live network space where games, music, movies and anime intersect,” Chief Executive Kenichiro Yoshida said at a strategy briefing on Wednesday, pointing to the use of free-to-play battle royale title Fortnite from Epic Games as an online social space.

Sometimes Preserving Video Game History Requires Partnering With the Enemy

In his tweet revealing the news, Cifaldi, who dedicated much of his life to preserving video game history where companies themselves often fail, seemed excited to finally share some of the rare video game history he was able to document by cooperating with Wata. But the response he got was not entirely enthusiastic. Some people responded with surprise and anger that he would work with Wata, which has been accused of making video game history harder to share with the public and contributing to a speculative investment bubble.

Ubisoft shuts down online services for over 90 older titles

Ubisoft has switched off the online services for over 90 titles, including multiple entries in the Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Might & Magic, and Just Dance franchises.

The vast majority of the games affected are older releases for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Wii U, although there are some that remain available on PC.

Ubisoft explained the online multiplayer services for all of the affected titles have now been shut down, but that all offline features remain available.

[…]

“Unlockable content (ULC) such as maps and skins will also be disabled, meaning that you will no longer be able to unlock them. On PC, ULC will no longer be available even if it has been redeemed previously. On console, the ULC will continue to be available unless you reset your saved game files.”

Avec la fermeture de la partie « en ligne » se pose le problème de la préservation et de l’archivage des jeux vidéo.

Sony suspends all PlayStation sales in Russia over Ukraine war

Sony has stopped selling its PlayStation consoles and software in Russia, becoming the latest major brand to withdraw from the country over the Ukraine war.

Sony’s decision is one of the video game industry’s most significant moves yet. Experts say the company has the biggest presence in Russia out of any console maker.

“PlayStation has the largest installed base, so if a company on the console side has a particularly hard choice from a purely financial angle, it’s Sony,” said Lewis Ward, head of gaming at research firm IDC.

ÉDITO : Quand la fièvre spéculative s’empare du jeu vidéo… – Le Mag de MO5.COM

Ce qui a changé par rapport aux précédents records, c’est que l’agence de notation WataGames lui a décerné un 9.8A++, a priori la note maximale qu’un exemplaire de ce jeu pourrait décrocher, mais cela reste étonnant quand un 9.4A+ faisait presque quarante fois moins en début d’année. Et dans la mesure où Heritage Auctions récupère 20% de la transaction – le jeu a en réalité été adjugé à 1,3 millions – plus 5% de la somme touchée par le vendeur, on peut effectivement se demander s’il n’y a pas anguille sous roche… Car si la maison de vente aux enchères assure faire toutes les vérifications nécessaires, l’acheteur demeure en général anonyme à moins de se manifester publiquement. Les arnaques ne sont hélas pas nouvelles dans le jeu vidéo, avec des faux prototypes et kits de développement par exemple, mais c’est bien sûr à tout autre chose que l’on a affaire ici, bien plus subtile et plus légale en apparence.

Sur l’étonnante envolée des prix de jeux vidéo anciens, avec une relation consanguine, voire collusion, entre organisateurs des enchères et les évaluateurs des jeux, dont les acheteurs anonymes sont tantôt associés à des fonds d’investissements, tantôt les vendeurs, désireux de faire gonfler artificiellement les prix.

De manière connexe, on peut s’intéresser à la concentration constatée dans le marché de l’art en général :
