They are too damn greedy to care.... their mentality is if it takes 25 failours to make 1 win, as long as that win, is big enough, its worth it.
However as a consumer, it feels bad man. Watching all these studios waste time, makeing this trash, that just ends up in a dumpster bin.... (at loss)
instead of focusing on smaller abut almost always profitable single player games (esp. when they are good at makeing them).
Its like its just acceptable to play the lottery, as a game company, and trying to case that win.
What happend to just makeing good games? these single player games that maybe only make 2-3 times the investment in returns..... but arn't nearly as risky.
But nope, that just doesnt work, who wants to spend $200m and only make back 400-600m or so.
Why not just make those? its leadership greed... its the only logical way of thinking of it.
They all dream of makeing one of those 200m GaaS type games, that is actually a mega hit, and then ends up doing maybe 20 times the returns.
Even if it takes them 20 tries to make one of those, or more.

There’s a reason games like Anthem, Marvel’s Avengers, Evolve, Babylon’s Fall, Fallout 76 and Suicide Squad: KtJL aren’t pulling in Fortnite numbers (not even close, lol): single-player IPs don’t work as live-services. Hell, it’s not even pulling in the peak numbers of Marvel’s Avengers which also flopped or the old Arkham games:
It flopped so bad, people actually went back and started playing the good Arkhamverse games. Hell, more people are playing Arkham Asylum, a 15-year-old-game right now than are playing KtJL, a game which just came out, that’s just sad. |
There are 704 people playing Suicide Squad - Kill the justic league atm.... on a saturaday.
While there are about 3,800 people currently playing Arkham Knight.
And about 1,000 people playing Arkham Asylum (that 15+ year old game, you mentioned).
