They need to expand to survive, they need to evolve into a bigger team or they will simply die/get crushed by the competition, is it that hard for you people to understand and are you narrow minded? You can do so much with the engine that you create yet you will do and create so little just because you are small... They need expand them self or they will just die on the market... You can not stay in just one state... Some companies evolve and expand too much and they need to evolve further and reduce them self to survive... Its all about balancing... Look at Nintendo, they were a small company and now they are huge international world wide company managing a lot of resources and they balanced it well... It is good for bussiness to expand, if you don't then you will have less time and less products that meet the standards of the industry and gamers, playing too safe or too risky will only get you killed in the end. Balance is the most important part and that is where Nintendo exceeds compared to Sony that is a shadow of former self. |
Nintendo are much smaller in comparison to their competitors though so that comparison actually backs what Me and Z101 are saying, one of the reasons many studios at the beginning of the HD era wen under is because they tried to expand too pre-emptively and ended up going bust because their business plan wasn't geared at sustaining the expansion. Evolution is not just expanding it can also be restructuring, a company can already have all the resources they need but only need a different approach or mode of working.
