| Slimebeast said: This is what I hate with big publishers. They think big with everything. If it's not big they won't bother. They refuse to scale down the costs and adjust to the natural popularity of a game. Yeah, Dead Space is pretty much a dead franchise for me now. The E3 demo looked atrocoius. I wonder what the developers think when the publisher forces them to make their love child accessible and mainstream. Look at Activision who is almost only investing in Call of Duty and Blizzard games and refuse to invest in medium sized games (except for Prototype, but that will most likely soon be dropped). |
Unfortunantly Activision is the best model to make mad profit. So bigger publishers like EA and Ubisoft seem to want to follow the same pattern to profit. It is smart if you get a hit, but it is likely to push a lot of consumers away with less choices. Too bad as EA, Ubisoft and Activision-Blizzrad really could make a lot of smaller franchises making profit. Just not as much as having a few megatons. Damning creativity to a few. Unfortunate indeed.
