But the toxic AAA business model is great games that fail to make profit because the budgets are far too high. So clearly Crytek isn't a victim of this because you have to make great games to start with. Going bankrupt because you make mediocre product with a AAA budget is what you expect in any industry. But where they failed is in adoption of their game engine, and it seems because they set the price too high. So if anything they were guilty of trying to force game budgets up to unsustainable levels. |
Bringing it on themselves doesn't excuse the business model. If you smoke and give yourself lung cancer, the cause of death is still lung cancer even if you brought it on yourself.
