curl-6 said: Thing is, games really don't need to cost so much to make in the first place. Instead of bleeding customers dry with shitty practises, publishers need to get their excessive spending under control. There's no reason why a $70 single player game without predatory monetization can't be profitable. If devs still can't profit at that price, then frankly it's a skill issue. |
And I staunchly think developers should cut the fluff before going after graphics. I'm playing zero dawn and it has a ton of irrelevant collectibles. The side quests in FF7 Remake are boring and irrelevant. Developers need to stop trying to make every game 40+ hours. RE remakes sold just fine at 10 to 20 hours.
As for Hogwarts, the game grossed over a billion and cost 150 million.... I have no idea what WB is complaining about.
And of course drop exclusives. Support PC day 1.
