The perks and perils of licensed games, and games journalism's ongoing struggle | Microcast

The latest episode of The GamesIndustry.biz Microcast is now available to download, offering you a quick dive into the biggest news of the past week.

This week, we use Devolver's unveiling of Big Fan Games - a new publishing label dedicated to indies working on licensed and other established IP - as a jumping off point to discuss the market for video game adaptations. Ranging wildly in scope and quality, there have been examples over the years that licensed games don't always print money in the way publishers might hope - we discuss the many reasons behind this, and the potential for indies who get the chance to work on major IP.

Other headlines we discuss is Epic Games' latest lawsuit against Google, the closure of Play Magazine, the death of HoloLens, and Palworld coming to mobile. Finally, in 'What Do The Numbers Mean?', Chris looks at the early performance of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer is "helping on Avowed," but he's "more interested in doing original IP" when he directs his next game
Obsidian's Avowed might be a big, AAA, first-person RPG, but it also serves as a follow-up to the studio's own Pillars of Eternity – a pair of isometric RPGs that served as a Kickstarted throwback to the likes of the original Baldur's Gate games. Josh Sawyer, director of the original Pillars games and other Obsidian classics like Fallout: New Vegas, has a hand in assisting with Avowed, but it sounds like he's more interested in new IP for the next big game he takes the lead on.
