| NoirSon said: Game development takes years in most cases. 90 to 95 percent of the big triple A publishers were guessing the Switch would fail or be a middling success before it blew the doors off the industry last year. It is difficult to change major development that quickly and impossible if the budget isn't be offered. Most Western development is already on locked out at this point save a few so until the next Switch successor it pretty much will only get middle of the road UBI Soft and some Bethesda stuff as their 'major ' software. |
Developing a game does take years. But, adding a new platform to a development cycle doesn't add years to development time. In fact, often time you can just add people to your team to do it, which means it adds nothing to to the development time. It's not nearly as rigid as you're letting it on to be.
