I used to wonder the same…..makes sense

Because for better or worse going to a movie is still going out. Staying in to play videogames is an anti-nice weather activity. Not that anyone is trying to push gamers outdoors, just that generally people spend more time out in the summer months so (I imagine) developers don’t look at those months as lucrative

Exactly!!!!

I totally agree. Summer is a good time for blockbusters at the movies, why couldn’t the same be true w/ games? I think we’re a bit beyond the “go outside” stigma attached to games when many people binge watch whole seasons of shows for hours straight. TLOU was a great example of a game that came out during the Summer and pretty much had all conversation to itself, and Arkham Knight should continue that trend this summer. I think it’s just a matter of time before more companies start realizing the advantages in releasing titles in the summer. Shows like E3 make people thirsty for games, there need to be more new titles available to quench that. Gaming has been geared towards accommodating to children (games during the holidays as christmas gifts, no games in the summer when kids are outside playing) for a bit too long. The market has grown both in numbers & age and its high time publishers take advantage of that.
