well, it is correct that more money for developers means obviously more money to invest in games and an easier way to take more risks with games which could be a hit or a flop. if that is the only way for developers to stay alive is something i don't believe because they just will release asscreed and cod 25 to stay alive.
but the reason why developers don't take many risk anymore is because most oif them are already in the red and every flop could be their end. we just have to look at the financial data of companies like ea, ubisoft, take 2, they make a loss even with their big sellers. take 2 made a loss last year with games like borderlands 2. i believe ubisoft made a loss, ea makes often a loss... the only publishers which are really healthy right now are activision and maybe 2-3 others.
if developers have more money (if that would be the case is another question but they think so), they can increase the quality of their portfolio. i always wonder what gamers think why publishers want that. because for more money right? didn't gamers realize all the problems the gaming companies had the last years? do they think it will be easier next gen with probably even higher development costs?
