| GribbleGrunger said: I said it a long time ago about how Pubg will have a negative affect on the gaming industry because lots of developers will jump on the bandwagon. And here we are with people already getting sick of battle royal modes getting forced into beloved franchises. The bubble will eventually burst when developers suddenly realise time can't be divided infinitely . |
Say what.
My dude, the industry has been bandwagoning get rich quick ideas for decades now. Have you not noticed over the past few decades of certain genres "exploding" all over the place and then receding while another genre explodes?.
We've had the platformers, the puzzle, Point & Click, RTS, TBS, FPS, 3rd person, Moba, MMO, TDM, FFA, and even Halo's game modes have been emulated before.
BR just so happens to be the latest money making trend, which is why we're seeing so many devs in both the indie and AAA space latching on, because that game mode makes money so fast and so much over so little time, it's the perfect get rich quick scheme currently going within the gaming industry.
Blaming one game, when we've had others before it just seems daft, especially when you look at how popular PuB and FN are. Even before that, ARMA's Day Z mod was quite popular way before PuB even existed.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
