u/Drudgework 20h ago

Yes, please disregard that the company could stop all sales and still be fully funded for the next fifty years.

The gaming industry alone, in terms of gross revenue is bigger than the rest of digital entertainment industry combined (including all the movies and streaming services of the world), don’t worry, they will never stop making games.

I'd take that as a win

What happened to the days when bad price/concept game have bad sales, so they actually think twice before deciding on what to make (actually thinking about what their customers want)

I wish people would understand that’s the opposite of how it works.

If they make a subpar and overpriced game then DONT BUY IT.

u/ProBadDecisionMaker 21h ago

In all fairness SOMEONE does need to buy the games if you want them to make more games. Unless you think multi-billion dollar companies can/will keep spending millions for nothing.

I wish they would stop, just give up and leave the market

Then smaller studios and indie developers would have much more of the spot light

Or they could at least maybe sponser people who actually want to make good games, and not just rack in another pay check

As if there wasn't enough garbage on the shelves.

Who cares if you have to look a bit to find good games

Rather that than the current overpriced slob the monopol game companies are printing out

(Some is good, but again, most is not)

It does bring my heart joy that games like Balatro are wining awards and stuff, means the big boys are lossing their grip on the industry

Balatro is trash

GOTY doesn’t think so

u/Acceptable_Appeal464 12h ago

Looking at the GOTY list and the 5 of the past 10 fail to even make a footnote in gaming history. But let my opinions be decided by paid judges....

2/10 bait, bland

u/Acceptable_Appeal464 17h ago

Indi is trash compared to everything else. We would rather pay more for great games than getting nothing for 20$

u/ODST_Elijah 16h ago

Hollow Knight is Indie, have you ever played that? I'm pretty sure that Halo started out that way too. Both games are great.

u/emil836k Lurker 8h ago

Minecraft was an indie game you know, and tell me, did Minecraft become better or worse after becoming Microsoft property?

u/Acceptable_Appeal464 25m ago

Wow. Just keep on bringing up trash dont you?

In all fairness SOMEONE does need to buy the games if you want them to make more games.

In fairness the multi-billion dollar company need to chase money and sales. They often release some real stinkers that have fans asking why millions more people didn't pick up a copy at full price and not enjoy themselves.

u/Over_Intention8059 15h ago

Hell they won't even let me play most of their old games. I've never understood why they don't have the entire NES/SNES library on their virtual console.

I mean, you’re literally describing the concept of profit incentive in capitalism, aka voting with your wallet. If Zelda didn’t make Nintendo an assload of money, they wouldn’t make Zelda games. You think they do this shit for the love of gamers?
