| Chazore said: AAA gaming profits are still made on PC over the years, not amounting to a piddling drop in the bucket like you're making it out to be, especially when you consider long tail sales vs a cut fof with each gen. Since you've put a specific focus on AAA, I assume you aren't going to challenge the mobile area of the industry. |
I never said, or implied, it was a piddling drop in the bucket. I said it was the smallest market for most AAA publishers. For example, picking the title you keep showcasing in this thread- when 70% of your sales now come from consoles, then that is the area you double down on as a business.
Consoles are keeping the AAA industry afloat right now, and allow for many titles to reach PC at such a high level of fidelity, as it stands.

Clearly talking about mobile gaming here, right?
Just re-alinging the focus. Not moving the goalposts.
