Great thread. That'll teach you to try and discuss games on the Codex, Morgoth. Let that be a lesson to you.
Clearly Morgoth has good taste in gaming...

No one cares what your buttbuddy Schreier thinks. Post someone that matters or have your own opinion about it.

Remember fellow humans, big titties are for pedos. So sayeth the jew that definitely isn't projecting at all.

Of course the video game industry is in crisis with Jason Schreier, it has been in crisis for as long as he has been a journo, thread title doesn't say anything new.

The artist for the game, George Kamitami, took notice of this post and then drew three bara dwarves and typed out a paragraph to mock Jason.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Ye ye, covid and investors blah blah blah. Live service issues, wow. No actual issues with shitty stories, weak art, weak gameplay, no innovation.

Video game industry had been in crisis for a long time, but AAA developers can blame only themselves.

Too much cost to make a game for too little sales figures.
Their 100 bucks slop just doesn't sell as it should and it is unsustainable apart from Blackrock DEI investments and those with ideological interest in promoting this kind of slop.

Then maybe they make a good fucking game? BG3 is woke as fuck but was a success. Apex is woke as fuck but mechanically is very good.

This is not even ideology, when they build characters which only defining trait is their gender...

Lots of games by AAA looks like asset flips of their previous games. Remember when Ubishit made Far Cry Primal and map was same as Far Cry 4?

COVID boosted some sales because people were staying in home more, but COVID ended, but greed remains.

Maybe, I dunno... REDUCE THE FUCKING BUDGETS?
The most expensive movie ever was Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and that only took 379$ millions. CONCORD was more expensive, the Spiderman games ate 300 millions on the license alone, it's completely out of control.
Cut the bloat out, while simple on paper, will never be done for the most retarded of reasons.
It is a hit-driven industry. Few % of games that become mainstream hits pay the bills.

Cutting the costs is counter-productive unless you are targetting niche with low competition - like hardcore realistic strategy or simulation with zero mainstream appeal.

Jason Schreier has absolutely no grounds to criticize the tastes of others when his wife looks like this:

Looks like something someone came up with trying to make the most freaky characters during generation.

Spiderman games ate 300 millions on the license alone
Not sure about that, as Sony owns the Spiderman license.

Sony only owns the Spiderman license for movies they have to pay Disney for games/comics/etc. Sony even had to pay Disney a part of the profit when they sold a PS5/PS4 bundle of the console and the Spiderman games.

Knowing Schreier he’s probably lurking in the thread, dudes always been obsessed with google alerts. Pretty sure he knew about the sexual assaults at blizzard for years but was silent since the community still liked blizzard.
