| irstupid said: you are making the falasy in sunk costs argument again companies have to realize at points that it don't matter how much money they may have spent to date doing something, if its not working you move on. If these companies spent 2-3 years learning and so on (pathetic imo) but the returns on the games are not coming back positive, then you quit. you do not keep LOSING money. whether this means not making games period or trying a new system is another story. but sunk costs are just that they are costs gone, never going to get them back. you need to worry about present. is what your doing now going to and/or making you money NOW or SOON. if not, you abandon ship. |
Well they lie to themselves that it's "highly profitable" (the exact words by someone at EA).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
