The 2000s

2000 to 2009. 46 games in the catalog.

Open worlds, cinematic direction and an always-⁠on network connection become the norm. Games split off toward different audiences: some demand a powerful computer and hundreds of hours, others live in the browser, on a console for the whole family or in the first phone with a touchscreen. By the end of the decade digital stores appear, and a small team can once again release a game without a publisher.
