People don't even show up for 2 hours, how they are going to come for gaming or overnight meet.

Because a well planned meetup in advance, with proper equipment, team and resources have in past been very successful.

We have done this around 4-5 times before aswell, its not like its the first time I am suggesting this.

And this formula works pretty darn well all around the world.

What I think is that even if 10 guys are confirmed to come, arrangement can be done for gaming meetup. But here you can see that thread was made mid of march, around 10-12 people were interested out of which 9 showed up. And this meetup was after 10 months of Ramdan'15 meetup.

I hope we can make a overnight PG meetup successful.

the difference is simple. Taking initiative and ownership of this platform.
on PakGamers, everyone is completely equal, if you take some responsibility, manage this thing, resources can be provided and accumulated. The last time we used to do it, we would call eachother and say okey we need this this and this, who can bring what and what can we do about it

Ownership of an idea and being non-lazy will yield so much success..nothing else will

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
