These are false equivalences. There's a difference between comparing NES to SNES and companies ballooning their budgets because they assume every new game needs to push it. Games can be better without just being bigger/more expensive.
But how can I enjoy game if there isn't a colossal open world filled to the absolute brim with nothing to explore. Portal was pretty good, but it would have been better had I been able to go outside and craft consumables.
That's true, but huge portions of these people are outsourced to shitholes like India or the shittier slant countries and paid pennies for their work, and it's still a poor return on investment because the games they produce are inferior to what 5 or 6 guys in the 90s could cook up between eating pizza and playing DnD all night.
And it's unsustainable, which is why many of the big publishers are absolutely shitting bricks and constantly closing subsidiary studios while begging customers to get okay with not owning anything they buy (but also pay an extra 20 bucks for it).
Tell that to Ubisoft's shareholders.
Amusingly, before Jim lost the last remaining crumbs of his shit he opined this very statement.
This is one of the few old Jim lines I still remember, because it keeps getting more true.
The problem is mostly that the zingy one-liner doesn't really capture the actual source of the retardation.
He never said he was a woman. Get wrecked!
Not much of a theory when people have done that all the time in other industries.
It's a theory in so far as a lot of people prefer to believe tanking the AAA industry is a Jewish psyop or the work of globohomo etc.
That's true, but I still don't understand how they're too stupid to realise it doesn't work like that. Especially with things like live service games which require a considerable and consistent commitment; even if you wanted to there literally isn't enough time to play every live service game unless you are a millionaire NEET.
Yes.
Financial growth isn't the same as making games bigger and better. You guys really ARE the other end of the retard gaming horseshoe.
We are 35k before that. It's mean at least a whole year until that, unless he'll do another banger like Hogwarts legacy vid and accelerate drop from current drip.
That's irrelevant because AAA publishers are doing neither.
You came into the thread to be deliberately disruptive and insult people, and just like Jim you've provided no solutions or alternatives; only told us we're retarded for thinking worse games shouldn't cost more money.
I choose to keep the faith that even more TTD laws will be enacted in that time so Jim is only going to be even angrier when sub-700k finally comes.
My brother in Christ, games are becoming bigger. Literally. There are no latest releases by big publishers that are below 60 gigs of disk space. Not to mention, they're demanding to be installed on SSD or you have to wait up to several minutes of loading time.
Bitch i've been posting in this thread forever. Fuck you. You're a massive retard and the sooner you kill yourself the better.
I'm not demanding anything. If games become too expensive I'll just stop buying them and read more books. Like I said I have nothing to lose.
I don't know if you should get a top hat for being platinum mad or a rainbow for such a stupidly naive claim. Enjoy your $100 goyslop. Remember to buy the season pass like a good little consoomer.
That's a rather fat trolling. I have to use spirits to clean my screen from the grease
