And how many of those were AAA, because in that realm the production slots are very limited.

"If your favourite AAA SP producer suddenly switches to GAAS just go play some indie instead of wanting that change of direction to fail...."
It's like some of you absolutely don't understand how the capitalistic feedback loop works.
What if I want Sony to release single player games on PC again? What failure should I root for then? Their single player games on console?
, I'm just arguing libertarian-ishly for what other people should be allowed to do. Oh, and anything that pisses offgame journalists is good, too.. I'm 0-1 as a hater.
That was Bend, not Sony
I think it was a mix of the 2, i doubt garvin made that secret finale if he didnt wanted to work on dg2.
Wrong, I do care about them in wanting them to fail. Games I don't care about do not make me feel one way or another and what happens to them is of no consequence to me.
Make it a GaaS Gacha Roguelike and you'll see a live Danjin meltdown of epic proportions that will look like this
100% this. Its like this for everything now. It's exhaustive.
The obvious correction to that statement would yes that would be true, if the opposing party presented the opposition with factual statements. Alot of times it's blantant manipulation or straight up lying to support their beliefs. How many times do you read shit here that people pawn off as facts which is straight up bullshit.
The issue is opportunity cost.
No we didnt, there are plenty of quirky good games coming out all the time.
like I said to the other guy same but that doesn't mean I cannot bitch about it
You're getting the fucking game genius.
if that were the case Intergalactic would be almost out and not another year and a half to two years away

From Sony?
Another way to look at it, is that, if one of these GaaS games they are pushing for is actually successful (money pot), they wouldn't be pushing for more GaaS games as that would risk cannibalizing the first successful one sales wise, and would become competition to it (EPIC hasn't tried to make another Fortnite for example). So, asking for the GaaS games to fail might actually be doing the opposite
because I think they understand this, which is why they funded more than one GaaS like game, and continue to do so. And this successful GaaS game could fund those "single-player" games (as they are expensive to make, which I think they have shared). since it is all a business after all.
Probably the failure of PC's, then you can happily switch to the best place to play without concern.What if I want Sony to release single player games on PC again? What failure should I root for then? Their single player games on console?
That's just envy tho
Yawn, anything more interesting than that brain-dead take?
I still need to play Baten Kaitos so I won't throw those into the fire yet lol.
Nothing is more brain-dead than dedicating a thread to praying for corporate bankruptcies because a video game hurt your feelings
Moronic reply that completely misses the point of the OP, but is that surprising coming from you?
This is not exactly what I mean. As many people pointed out, the OP is more about opportunity costs and treating game development as a zero-sum game. If it's a game in a genre you don't care about (not necessarily hate), then wanting the game to fail would do nothing because the dev would just pivot into doing a different game in a similar genre. I'm indifferent towards genres I don't like such as puzzle games or life simulators. I don't want them to fail one way or another. I was very specific with the context by highlighting that I want games to fail when their existence come at the expense of something I enjoy. That's why I used the Sony GAAS games as an example. Sony says they want to trim down dev costs but turn around and blow hundreds of millions on GAAS trash that could have easily been reinvested elsewhere. If a series I love completely changes the formula into something I dislike, why would I want it to keep heading in that direction?
Came here to post this.
the thread.
Fair enough, I overstated your position. You didn't say you wanted bankruptcy, you said you wanted the game to fail commercially so studios change direction. That's still rooting for failure, just not in the extreme way I framed it
When did I ever pretend that this was a galaxy brain take or even a remotely insightful post? I start the OP with "why do journos and industry people pretend not to understand" because it's freakin' obvious why a bunch of angry gamers are rallying against something they hate. This was in response to a few threads I've seen about industry people claiming they don't get why gamers root against a game.
