Pachter Factor Questions!
Added 2021-08-15 22:19:40 +0000 UTCWe're ready to shoot the next round of Pachter Factor! The long, dry Summer is about to come to an end and the big games are on the way. It's a perfect time for another round of the Pach!
We do have one caveat, however. No more questions about Game Pass! At this point, he's covered the service from just about every angle. Some recent big topics to consider include Steam Deck, EA Play Live and the Dead Space remake, the Activision/Blizzard scandal, Horizon: Forbidden West being delayed, Switch sales finally slipping, and so much more. If you need a memory-jogger here are the big headlines from the last 30 days.
As always, ask questions that are relevant now, but also some that will be interesting a few weeks from now. Simply post your questions in the comments below and thanks! Without you Pachter Factor is nothing!

Hello Pach! There have been two "TV networks" that are currently trying to make a push into gaming again. VENN's fate is a little murky right now, but G4TV is also planning a return. Do you think that these networks will be able to make any financial impact on the gaming industry, or has this type of content shifted to a purely online model?

2021-08-16 05:14:57 +0000 UTCHi Pach, is there a reason why Microsoft/Xbox hasn't developed their own game engine to build their own games on as well as license out like Epic's Unreal Engine or Unity? Do you think they will do that now that they have id Software and id Tech? Doesn't it make sense since it fits their model of wanting subscription services?

2021-08-16 01:04:38 +0000 UTCDo you think Allen Brack, Alex Afrasiabi or Jesse Meschuk of Activision/Blizzard will be able to find employment after the state’s harassment lawsuit?
