There are too many breakout indie hits developed by one person or a small team that prove this isn't true across the industry.
AAA development may be that way because there are higher expectations, just like blockbuster movies invest heavily in special effects and A-list celebs. But at the end of the day gamers just want to be entertained.
I was thinking the same thing!
That would be amazing. I grew up in the 80s/90s. I remember all the hype about the ozone and we as a society were able to change course and solve the problem.
Another thing we need to do as a society is recognize and praise the efforts that are being done to encourage those that are doing it and hopefully encourage more to follow in their steps.
They should modify the saying "The only things that are guaranteed are death and taxes" to add "and older generations saying their music was the best"
I feel the same way. I'm appreciating genres I normally would have scoffed at when I was younger.
Some people enjoy the history behind the record. This video is for them. If you don't, then it's not a video targeted to you.
This whole thread is the strangest dick measuring contest.
I'm right there with you. Hopefully mobile for 2 is better suited for phones, makes it easier to find the time. The first one is designed for tablets and makes reading and playing cards difficult.
That fucker can go back to his own country!
Which I think bolsters the argument for anti-doomerism (yes, I'm making that a word now).
I'm waiting on the PC version and a decent steam sale. Patient gamer for life!
Exactly! I especially like your point about T2. I don't think it's wrong to put a lot of money behind a AAA game, but there needs to always be a balance weighted toward the creative/entertainment value (whether it's innovative game mechanics or story driven).
Once that balance shifts to the business side by focusing on recouping the investment is when a project is at risk for not being received well.
I think all gamers are ok with studios making a profit on their games, but don't try to fleece us.
