Iron Lore went backrupt (and I suspect the same for Free Radical and Factor 5) because they are too small to do multiple projects and because games requires a large development team now, just the short period of time between going Gold and sales revenue from the game coming in (a couple to few months) is enough to bankrupt them. It has nothing to do with the game's quality or even sales. Game development has become too expensive. |
I think the real problem is that Western developers spend to much money on graphics because they think graphic whores in the majority when they are actually the minority. If they spend less money on graphics and just make a game even if the graphics aren't groundbreaking, this would happen less often. Also, this is bad because small developers tend to have more creative control over games than big publishers. This means that we will get a ton of FPSs and most of them will suck.
