Yeah, I hope it doesn’t take off here either. Just saying it’s influence is limited

we already got micro transactions from them

the worst part already took hold

its why i look mostly at indy games now. AAA is a joke

tripple A industry is drying up

Indie games and japanese games are taking over imo

A very large crossover into the mainstream consciousness... new game mechanics.. innovation in graphics and game design

korean too

Triple A is gluttonous, once it starts starving it may straighten up.

the studios going full SJW is ruining them too

i blame publishers

Asia is immune to this

naw, SJW isn't even the worse think killing stuff.

you think?

its out of touch publishers forcing down game design choices that kill things

media, hollywood, tripple A studios... all the same problem

naw, EA has always been shit

they jsut had a few golden gooses they didn't fuck with

I'm talking about bad games, not the publishers

so they released the same game year after year

He has a point, Konami didn’t just kill MGS. They made it’s dead body into a puppet. Charging ten dollars for an extra save slot....

I know, and i blame publishers for a chuck of those bad games.

tbh, it's a discussion I dont really care. Let them die off

all 3

EA with battlefront 2, TakeTwo with GTA and nearly killing the PC version.

Hollywood, media, AAA

it's been years since I bought a AAA game

Yeah, it would be nice if that happened. Problem is that they won’t just die, they’ll starve grasping at there influence and money.

most games with a lot of relevance and popularity also tend to be indies

nowadays

activision basically killed bungie

they have less issues with streaming rights, etc

ayyyy minecraft

indy games have an easier time getting out these days than in the past

if valve made games, maybe you'd buy a triple AAA game 😛

that's not the point, the thing is that AAA games became shit

make AAA great again

we can make them great again by killing them

Real talk, crowd funding mainstream dev companies instead of making them use a publisher has made some gems. Such as Divinity 2

i mean

personally, I don't really care. I used to play MMOs and MOBAS, those continue to be around. After that I just play indies
