SE is such a bad managed company. They don't understand the market.


Maybe they do.. the game market is too crowded to sustain all these AAA games from different developers.. I think they are going mobile to become a houshold name on the platform with a bright future ahead with the upcoming generation of people who are playing their first games on tablets and mobiles.. and to be fair Deus Ex the Fall is a pretty good game.. not for its platform but as a game..

It's awful late and go to mobile at this point. And these established franchises, they have no advantage on mobile (unless they are perhaps a huge, very mainstream game series, I don't know). A traditional hardcore franchise risks more to weaken and bloat its brand than strengthen it by going to mobile. I can't take the dev seriously when they put it on mobile. I'm a huge Assassin's Creed fan but Ubisoft putting their stuff on mobile, I can't take them as seriously anymore. I start to distrust them more and more.

What is Deus Ex The Fall? A mobile modern Deus Ex? (also, it's not so much about quality. It's more about perception. I bet many can actually do quality on mobile, but the mobile market is all together a different beast with different measures for success.).

But yes, it's hard for SE to gain a niche in the hardcore AAA HD market on console too, evedently (Tomb Raider and Deus Ex Rev as proof... great reviews but relatively poor sales).

Maybe SE West is destined to go the way of THQ. Sometimes you just can't do anything about it.
