| Darwinianevolution said: Is it just me, or are we having a "biggest disappointment ever" game release every single year now? No Man's Sky, Battlefront II, Fallout 76, Anthem, Cyberpunk 2077... You'd think companies would've been more careful with how they handle hype after each crash, but they are instead pushing it harder and harder. Though to be fair, at some point you have to admit it's a shared problem: if people didn't preorder as much and fell for the manufactured hype this cases would be much damaging for the companies pulling them off, scaring them away from doing this. Also, has there been a succesful lawsuit of false advertisement against any of this big releases? |
Why would it change? CP2077 is still the biggest release of last year. As long as people keep buying the hype and don't really care how it ends up, the industry will keep on selling hype instead of finished games. Star Citizen is showing the way how you never even have to release a game to keep raking in the dough. Hype as a service is the new model HAAS :)
The lawsuit against KZ: Shadowfall was settled out of court, sort of successful I guess.
