lowest common denom production begins, everyone loses
or bitwise compiler optimizations for x86
making games used to be really hard
and there was a huge number of people who could not cut it and never got out the door
so only the fanatically dedicated would ever see their game published
also the fact that various weirdos and dreggs shitted up every major company at every level
well, i mean, here's the reality
its not just a bunch of old nerdy white guys making cool shit
you are a gaming company, all your actual real developers and artists who were good have retired
you want to leverage your brand but you can't make a good product
what can you do to have an audience?
you can prostitute your brand to political causes
it's pretty apaprent too..."writing" in games was pretty good because of the strange perfection of the team of Interplay and Black Isle....now it's almost all women
and...yeah...
ya thats probably a good point
in hopes that adherents to that ideology will buy stuff even if it is crap
mr. laughter is right
mass effect: andromeda made $110 million in revenue
how many times can u really do that tho?
pump out a shit product on name alone
who knows
we know bethesda has done it like
I mean, blizzard at this point is going all out on "on and off platform censorship and banning based on written speech" and not actually developing games and they make an absolute wrecking each month, even WITH sub drops
how many times now?
starwars seems to be failing at it only 4 movies in
okay, we can say like, you ruin a brand with 4 bad movies
or a game franchise
but let's say there was a good star wars tomorrow
how many people would come back and be like
FINALLY THEY ARE FIXING THE MISTAKES
thats true
and think of how much the paid youtube support crew would push it so they can make money from clicks
its a brand thatll never really die cuz people have such fond memories
the feedback loop for branding is pretty severe
yeah
and now that the bar is lower they only have to make something halfway decent to get massive praise
holy shit its weev @blue falafel
send me ur crypto money
WoW is a great example of this right now
send him ur crypto money
