Why developers create huge expansions over standalone games, and other questions | Podcast

For our latest podcast, we did something a little different: a live Q&A show recorded as part of the official Devcom 2024 Twitch stream.

Chris Dring and James Batchelor joined Altered Gene's Des Gayle, who answered questions sent in by Gaming Industry.biz Readers before the show. Topics covered in this episode included:

  • Why do developers create huge expansions instead of standalone games?
  • Can Nintendo keep the momentum going with Switch 2?
  • How many simultaneous users does a multiplayer game need to survive?
  • Will Grand Theft Auto 6 convert last-gen console owners to upgrade?
