Saudi Arabia is not buying EA for video games. He is buying cultural influence in hundreds of millions of homes

by

An Arab sovereign background has just closed the greatest leverage purchase operation in history: 55,000 million dollars per electronic arts. Paying a 25% premium (in the normal fork), apparently without haggling (definitely abnormal). Closing the operation in record time. And nobody lifts an eyebrow. Because it is supposed to be “only video games.” But they are not “only video games”: It is the FC 26 Entering every week in the living room of 150 million homes, especially for its younger members. Is THE SIMS Teaching what a family, a career, an aspirational life is. Is Madden Nfl and Battlefield occupying Sunday afternoons and the nights during the Week of Medio Planet. Saudi Arabia has not bought a study but a more powerful cultural distribution channel than any television networkquieter than any advertising campaign, more effective than any Hollywood study. Let’s think about the concrete: In EA Sports FC, every year it is decided which goals to include, what flags appear in the stadiums, what social messages are integrated into the game, what role is granted to women’s football, what attire the fans carry. In the PREMs, it is defined what kind of relationships are possible and which are not, what professional careers are glamorized and which ones lose value, what constitutes “success” in simulated life. In Battlefield, it is chosen what historical conflicts represent, how it is portrayed to the Middle East, what factions are “the good”. These are not technical details. They are editorial decisions that mold the worldview of millions of players They spend hundreds of hours a year in these worlds. And when a company stops quoting in the stock market, those decisions are no longer publicly justified: There are no shareholders asking why certain flags of certain markets were eliminated. Do not explain why references to alcohol, to the game, to sex or certain lifestyles disappear in subsequent updates. There are no analysts questioning why certain conflicts are represented in a certain way. There are no quarterly reports that explain narrative changes. Only gradual, imperceptible adjustments, which normalize certain visions of the world. The Saudi fund has not gone for studies indie experimental or for niche games with political messages. Has gone for the more franchises mainstreamsafe and massive on the planet. The least questionable possible. He Soft Power more invisible that exists: entertainment so normalized that nobody wonders who is behind. He simply plays. And then there is the detail that goes unnoticed: they pay 25% premium on the closing price without blinking. They close in a few months when operations thus usually lengthened years. A traditional investment fund would have dribble each percentage point. I would have asked for more DUE Diligence. He would have negotiated to the last dollar. The Saudi PIF pays the premium and accelerates the closure. Because When your goal is not to maximize the return of the invested but maximize strategic influence, speed matters more than the price. Close before someone realizes what you are really buying. Microsoft has been consolidating the purchase of Blizzard Activision for two years. This goes quickly. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son -in -law, is in this operation, according to the Financial Timesand not by chance. Its background, Affinity Partners, He received 2,000 million from the Saudi Pif after leaving the White House. Now returns the favor: its presence converts a foreign purchase into an operation “led by Americans”, which reduces the scrutiny of the Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS). While he appears as a consortium architect, the White House will see partners and not threats. It can be replicated that this is only economic diversification, petrodollars looking for return in entertainment. If so, why not buy Netflix, Disney or Spotify? Why specifically the sector where you can shake what millions of teenagers do for thousands of hours a year without appearing propaganda? The amazing thing is not that this happens. Soccer has accustomed us to Saudi laundering. The hallucinating thing is that almost nobody questions it. The best way to exercise power and influence is that it simply seems fun. LOOT Boxes And seasonal passes while nobody wonders who decides what to normalize in those worlds. And when you take out a stock market company (what will happen with EA), you eliminate the quarterly transparency obligation, you no longer have to account for western scrutiny shareholders and you can make subtle adjustments that no one will detect until it is too late. Nothing scandalous. Only small changes in narratives, representations, progression systems that, multiplied by 500 million players for years, move entire cultural needles. That is the perfect conquest. In Xataka | This game has been scheduled by only one person, and there is already talk of him as one of the great Shooters of the year Outstanding image | Xataka

In the E3 of 1995, PlayStation only needed two seconds to destroy Sega. And changed video games forever

by

On September 29, 1995, many Spanish buyers were made with a new console, the first of a company known for its camcorders, Walkman, Discman and TVs. 30 years ago, Sony launched the PlayStation In Europe, but before arriving he had already left a victim on the way: Sega with his Saturn. And everything was forged for two seconds in the First E3 in history With one of the oldest trolls of video games: that of “299”. From an audio chip to the PlayStation. Before reaching that point, we go with some context. Sony was not a video game company. In fact, within the Japanese giant, few believed they painted something in that segment. However, there was Ken Kutaragi, PlayStation’s “father”. He was watching his daughter play family, Our neswhen Kutaragi realized the potential of video games. He raised it, but Sony went on the subject. A few years later, Nintendo needed an audio chip for the Supernesand there was Kutaragi, secretly working on the design of the SPC700 which contributed so much to the history of video games and the audio of the Nintendo console. He did not end up fired from Milagro, since his bosses enraged when they found out. But well, little by little they were entering and Kutaragi had to be a heavy championship because he got Sony and Nintendo to collaborate in the development of the CD super nes, or the Nintendo PlayStation that today is a museum piece. Nintendo’s betrayal. The problem? Nintendo did not see with good eyes that a company like Sony won power in the world of video games and, just when the great association was going to make the world known, Nintendo hit a flying: he associated with Philips and gave them five of their franchises to do what they wanted. It was Nintendo’s biggest error. Not only Philips shattered ‘Mario’ and, above all, ‘Zelda’ With tremendously bad games for CD-Ibut it enraged Sony in an unimaginable way. If they were not fully convinced, they were now clear that they should humiliate Nintendo. They got to work and, from that betrayal, the PlayStation was born. Now we had to present it well, and the First E3 in historythat of 1995, was the ideal scenario. … at “299”. Nintendo went with the failure of Virtual Boy under the arm and with rumors of Nintendo 64 (Which had a few years of development), but there was another company that did new: Sega. The other Japanese video game giant would be a stone on the Sony road if things did not do well, and within “doing things well” comes to put an attractive price. It was the first console, I had to work. In fact, both were the ones that had to win the most and lose at the fair because they had already launched in Japan, but the price they would mark for the United States would be key. Sega crossed the puddle with his Saturn and announced that it would cost $ 399 (also 399 pounds in the United Kingdom and 79,990 pesetas in Spain). Sony needed a blow of effect, and that was when this moment happened: THE GREATER TROLLE OF THE VIDEOGUES. What you just saw is well known, but no less shocking 30 years later. After a long speech on the history of the company and about the benefits of both the machine and the CD, a new format at that time, Steve Race, president of Sony América took the stage and, of course, you will imagine that someone like that would rise to give another long monologue. But not. “Two Nine Nine”. 299. And got off the stage. Those two seconds, followed by applause and cheers, were enough for PlayStation to “win” that first E3. Already My partner Rafa Márquez commented in Vidaxtra: The best possible mixture between a troll and a masterful marketing. It was 100 dollars cheaper than Sega Saturn, had the favor of many developers, was a good CD player and there were not only Japanese games, but others very focused on the western public. In addition, it was the fact that everyone was going to highlight, the one who wanted the press and the players. The tip. It was a master play, but although the story has given a good weight when it came to make Sega stumbled, the truth is that Sega itself had made many merits to end as it ended. To start, Saturn was a face, but also very complicated. The 2D games and Arcade conversions were great, but to squeeze the machine you had to develop for the two processors it had. Besides, The launch in stores was disastrous when produced by surprise. It was a complication because the tools are not as simple and accessible as today, but on the other side you had a playstation for which it was much easier to develop, in addition to giving some other advantage in Royalties. And with Saturn, but above all with DreamcastSega lived an internal civil war between the divisions of the United States and Japan. That is, the “299” was a push that accelerated the fall of the company, but that Sega did not need anyone to stagger. History. In the end, the market put each in its place. For less than ten million Sega Saturn, Sony placed more than 100 million of that first playstation. Only ‘Gran Tourism‘He sold more than Saturn herself and, although Nintendo was better with the almost 33 million Nintendo 64 sold, she was late and with cartridges, losing the favor of companies such as Square Enix and many other developers who saw that the CD was a more favorable format. That “speech” of Race is medium history, but also of marketing and one of my favorite moments in these video game presentations. As a curiosity, as we are condemned to repeat history, in 2014 something similar happened with results, again, favorable for Sony. Microsoft announced that its Xbox One It would cost … Read more

Video games have fired their number of users, and come from an unsuspected place: television series

by

The video game adaptations have long left behind the “impossible” sambenito. Criticism and public successes such as recent television series’The Last of Us‘ either ‘Fallout‘They have proven that the episodic format fits especially well with the long plot developments of the games and with their very wide characters. But there is more: a recent study shows that not only those series are successful because they attract the players. The flow also works in reverse. More spectators. According to A recent study by Ampere Analysisscreen adaptations drive the growth of the number of players by 140% on average. Among these adaptations, the average increase achieved by television series is up to 203%, much higher than films (48%). Among the former we can find such outstanding series as’Arcane‘,’ The Last of Us ‘,’The Witcher‘,’ Fallout ‘,’ Knuckles’, ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners‘,’ Conserje Pokémon ‘or’ Halo ‘. Among the movies, ‘A Minecraft movie‘,’Sonic The Hedgehog‘,’Super Mario Bros. the film‘,’Uncharted‘,’ Mortal Kombat ‘or’ Detective Pikachu ‘. To the bunker. For example, the premiere of the “Fallout” series in Prime Video in April 2024 caused a 490% increase in monthly active users (UAM) playing the franchise: 80% of the 14 million active players were new. In contrast, additional content launches for ‘Fallout 76’ previously achieved only 17% increase in UAM. It is a phenomenon that had already been detected since the same premiere of the series, when the 2015 Búnkeres construction and management game ‘Fallout Shelter’ received an unusual impulse Almost a decade after birth, going from giving benefits of about $ 20,000 a day to enter $ 80,000 a day, thus increasing their benefits by 232%. The last ones will be the first. There is a more particular case, because it adapts a narrative game, closed, without online and that had been acclaimed by criticism and public a few years before, calling the attention of non -hardcore public, that is, that the middle fan had more than known. ‘The Last of Us “experienced a 150% rise in its players base: an absolutely spectacular figure if we take into account that the series does not” complement “or expands what is seen in the games, but tells it again. Without a doubt, it is a different phenomenon from that of ‘Fallout’: the excellent invoice of HBO production, much more mainstream That the prime video, it caught the attention of non-players. To compare: the relaunch of “The Last of Us Part II” for PS5 only made the monthly players in 70%. And in cinemas, ‘Minecraft’. This is one of the greatest recent box office successes, and here there has been a clear feedback: the commented Tumults in cinemas They are due to the preteen enthusiasm of the ‘Minecraft’ players, but the current was also in the reverse direction: the premiere in April 2025 produced a growth of 30% of users of the game. Of all of them, 54% of the new players were people who had abandoned the games previously, that is, the film reactivated their interest in the game. Some reasons. They are diverse (although we like to continue putting in the same sack to ‘Arcane’ already ‘Street Fighter’, these are adaptations for generations of completely different spectators), but the Massive television accessibility. This allows those who do not play videogames to know their emblematic stories without having to overcome the “input barrier” that sometimes lifts the technology, already later encouraged to enter them on their own. In any case, it seems that we are living a golden era for this type of series and films: fidelity to the originals achieved with films such as ‘Super Mario Bros.’ or ‘Sonic’ was unthinkable a few years ago. The change in the interests of the public causes these products to cease to be niche, or rather, that they no longer have the need to soften the elements of the original video game to become massive products. Viodeojuegos are already an entertainment mainstream and its adaptations catapult that audience.

A patch updates the debate on difficult games

by

The high difficulty of ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong‘One of the issues that to those of the players has once again put in the arena: The very high difficulty. Is it necessary? Should titles such as SOULIKE or this same ‘Silksong’ your demands to be more accessible, or if it is a design decision, the right thing is that they remain as its creators have decided? In any case, Team Cherry has heard the complaints of the players and will be predicted to the desperate difficulty of its successful Metroidvania. Difficult that you spend. Many players, even experienced adventurers who were already tanned from the original and quite demanding ‘Hollow Knight’ have noticed that ‘Silksong‘proposes a considerably higher challenge: from fighting (already overcome the first Boss final It is a challenge that has given to speak) to the platform mechanics, through more lethal enemies, a more complex combat system and, above all, a structure that does not forgive failures and that can force the painful player to repeat paths that he has already traveled. But why. It is no longer that enemies do more damage with their blows or have more resistance to the player’s envies. It is rather that ‘Silksong’ demands to be very cautious since the same start of the game, where they are already on the advanced mechanical table of the genre Metroidvaniaand above all, that there is a combat design that hinders things. As Polygon saidfor example, the protagonist hits down diagonally, which makes it more difficult to control her blows in this direction. It is not a matter of skill: we have to relear mechanics that we take for grasses in the genre. Team Cherry recognizes it. However, the creators of the game recognize that The game could be more balancedespecially at the first levels. Therefore Team Cherry announces that will launch an update of the game that will arrive in the mid -week and that will adjust the difficulty of the start. Of course, the game is not going to become a walk, something that would make him lose his personality, but the Australians pretend that no one despairs in those first measures. The players will see the rewards of rosaries and reduced the damage inflicted by some enemies. Difficulty and damage to the Moorwing and Sister Splinter (a key enemy, since it provides the ability to jump bouncing on the wall, essential to advance) will also be moderated. PC users already have the patch available in Steam and GOG. If you like to suffer. Do not worry if you have masochistic trends: Silksong includes a secret mode, ‘Steel of steel‘, which is played to the highest level of difficulty and with permanent death. This mode is unlocked at the end of the game, but the wasp community has discovered a combination of buttons (legendary and easy to guess, everything must be said) that allows you to activate it from the beginning, offering an extreme challenge for the most skilled. Neither patch nor parcha. The eternal debate. He debate about high difficulty in video games It is recurring: on the one hand, there are those who defend the unique difficulty that the creator sets so that the game is a challenge, looking for the satisfaction that generates overcoming difficult obstacles. On the other hand, there are accessibility apologettes that demand adjustable modes for all audiences to enjoy the game, regardless of their level of skill. This debate also involves how difficulty peaks affect the experience: some players consider them a bad design that frustrates, while others look for these peaks as treasures that create memorable challenges. In Xataka | This game dared to go on sale the same day as ‘Silksong’. All he got was attracting 12 players in his debut

Nvidia world leadership in chips for AI is brutal. In GPU for games directly has fulminated the competition

by

Nvidia dominates the global chips market for artificial intelligence (AI) with a fee that during the last three years has oscillated between 80 and 94%, according to Fourweekmba. Your leadership is supported by A very competitive hardware and a software ecosystem in which CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) It has an essential role. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs. Most of the artificial intelligence projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA. AND Moore Threads and Cambricon Technologies They have muse and neuware respectively. Even so, the competitors of Nvidia will cost them a lot to break the leadership of Cuda. Nvidia has distributed 94% of GPUs for market games During the second quarter of 2025, 11.6 million graphics cards for PC and 21.7 million processors for desktop computers have been distributed throughout the planet, according to the US consultant Jon Pedie Research. By themselves these figures do not tell us just anything, but they acquire the relevance they deserve if we consider that they indicate that the distribution of graphics cards has grown by 27% and that of CPUs 21.6% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Distributed units allow us to train a very precise idea about market behavior It is important that we do not overlook that these figures quantify the distributed units, and not the units sold. However, there is a direct correlation between them, so the distributed units allow us to form a very precise idea About market behavior. Anyway there is a fact that is even more shocking than all we have collected so far in this article: NVIDIA has distributed no less than 94% of GPUs for market games during the second quarter of 2025, again according to Jon Pedie Research. AMD has been forced to settle for 6% of the distributed units, and Intel does not even appear in the report of this consultant because its presence is anecdotal. So are things in the graphic hardware market for PC. One more note to conclude: the rebound of distributed units of graphics and processors for PC during the second quarter of 2025 against the first responds in all likelihood to the need for stores and users to supply before Tariffs approved by the US government They entered into force.

Seeing a graphics card for more than 10 years in the store in your neighborhood makes all your way. And nothing has to do with video games

by

You walk through your trustworthy store, see the showcase and you find yourself with Graphics cards For more than 10 years on the shelves. It is usually very common, especially in not -so -known stores and with a very limited stock. Although we can ask ourselves from first who buys hardware of these characteristics in 2025, the truth is that they can be more useful than we believe, especially in very specific cases that have nothing to do with video games. A cheap solution for specific cases. Through A publication From Reddit, a user wondered if it was strange to see graphics cards as old as the ones he shared in a photo. The truth is that despite the veteran of these components, they respond to specific needs within the work world, such as Connect multiple monitors to the lowest possible cost. Many companies need double or triple display configurations for office work, so instead of investing in a new computer, they end up adopting one of these graphics cards. For example, one GT 730launched to the market in 2014, and which can offer up to four HDMI outings, can cost a small fraction of what would be worth a modern graph, and solve the problem of connecting several monitors on computers in which the integrated graphic is fair or that simply does not have the necessary HDMI ports. Beyond gaming. Modern motherboards rarely include more than two or three video ports, and in somewhat more outdated equipment only two are allowed to use simultaneously. When an office needs to connect, for example, six screens to the same team, the cheapest solution is to add one of these old cards. The integrated processor GPU may end up being more powerful, but for cases where a good number of screens need to be connected, a dedicated graph of these characteristics would be the cheapest solution. Image: Backpack Studio (UNSPLASH) Emergency cases. As I pointed A Reddit user in your response, these graphics cards can also function as diagnostic tools for computer technicians. Given the failure of a graphics card for everyday use, having a replacement allows you to quickly determine if the problem lies in the graphics card or on the motherboard. In addition, they are still the perfect solution for very old teams that need to be updated: an old computer with VGA output It could connect to several modern monitors through HDMI outings when opting for one of these graphics cards. The compatibility factor. As suggests This other Reddit user, some specialized systems require operating modes that modern integrated GPUs no longer support. NAS servers o Equipment with SAS cards that only work in Legacy mode find in these outdated graphics cards the only way to maintain compatibility with specific hardware. A market in extinction. It is clear that the popularity of processors with increasingly powerful integrated graphics is gradually reducing the demand for dedicated graphics cards for use of office and other specific cases. AMD Ryzen with built -in GPU and the most recent Intel offer enough performance for multiple screens without additional hardware. However, in a panorama in which there are still millions of outdated equipment for business use, these types of graphics cards can take anyone out of a squeeze for a modest price.
