| Nem said: Why does it have to be all-in or all-out? Why cant there be ahappy medium just like it used to onthe ps1 and ps2 eras? |
AAA Ps1 and Ps2 titles tended to cost 1 to 2 million or less. Today's triple AAA titles cost 20 million and up and actually the price of games is lower because of inflation. As well games in general don't sell more that much more than they did during that era. They cost 20 times more to make but games don't sell 20 times more than they used to, almost all games will not crack the 5 million mark. Inflation wise games should be $70-80 to be fair to developers. Developers are getting gipped by this model, we win by paying less but at the expense of the game makers.
Today's triple AAA model is financial sucide except for like 3 or 4 publishers who have to do annual sequels with re-used assets. (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc.)
