I wonder for how long we will continue to get extraction and hero shooters that nobody wants.
I mean even when every game was a MOBA developers eventually realised that nobody wants that shit anymore.
At this point any games newly starting development must surely go for a different genre, right?
RIGHT ?
Anyways, the live-service launches continue until the playerbase improves. :semperfidelis:

At least 2 more years.
AAA games take about 4-6 years to come out now.
So they've got these things just coming one after another. Highguard started development in 2022.
Concord was 2018

I'd say we have at least 2 more years of retarded games if they havent started pulling the plug on them.
 
The shill Morgan Park from PC Gamer is crying today, another game he praised have failed :story:

Well it's being proven, once again, you tend to make way more money with smaller, more experimental and ambitious games from smaller studios with less overheads, (Recent example being Clair Obscur 33) than with Triple A companies which blackhole money like no tomorrow. Even studios which have put out successful projects have been shitcanned because "Fuck it, lmao".

C33 is not a small studio project. It's another Triple A multi studio game and it being held up as something different is pure marketing. It's Ubisoft under a different name with publisher backing and multiple support studios.

Indie games fail as often if not more often than triple As do. All tech right now is gambling and intended to be that way. You invest in a project knowing it's risky but if you get the right one you make your money back 50 times over. So you invest in 50 different things and if one of them hits big you can fund your next 50 gambles and still make a profit. Look at all the tech industry and you'll see the exact same thing. It's gamblers and scammers both trying to get as many projects off the ground as possible to hit the golden goose and make profit despite the incredible losses. Everyone wants to be the next Epic or Valve where you can constantly fail or do nothing but you have the goose that shits more money than you can spend.

Nips are also actually willing to see that they fucked up and course correct while western devs are on that bossman grindset.

See Ubisoft vs. Capcom (Japanese Ubisoft). One is crashing and burning while the other is currently celebrating what might turn out to be the most successful AAA launch in recent memory.

not the first time either
last decade capcom launched street fighter 5 and it went really bad, widely considered a disaster of a game at launch. they worked to improve it for a long time but it never quite managed to shake the shitty reputation it had.
but surprisingly the capcucks actually took it seriously and eventually turned it around, to the point where their next street fighter release (6) is now seen as a very good very high quality game, and it sold a lot better and faster than sf5 too
 
The untold tale here is that these chucklefucks must have some insane AWS setup that is costing them thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to maintain-otherwise they could leave a server running on an old Mac mini forever for the ten niggers who enjoy the game.

Embarrassment.
 
The marketing cost for Concord, Highguard, and whatever other games that were hyped just like those could've easily funded an actual good game that's not a trend chaser

They're just going to go from live service slop back to more games like Saints Row, Veilguard, Assassin's creed shadows etc
When Intergalactic, Wolverine game that berates you for playing as Wolverine and God of War that is actually Horizon 17 all come out and flop they're just going to write articles crying "You said you wanted single player games and not live service but you didn't buy these AAAAA experiences!"
