Yeah, but this still feels like negative progress.

C-suite business-people only know how to follow numbers.

There isn't an original thought in their heads or a creative bone in their bodies.

Yep. It's not your fault when your boss says do dumb shit. This is so common in the video game industry.

Everyone wants to make the next Fortnite, GTA, or Destiny.

For the love of God, stop chasing other games. Make your own game and let it stand on its own merits.

It doesn't have to be a live service. It doesn't need engagement metrics designed to appease shareholders. It doesn't need to chase whatever trend is currently making someone else money.

It just needs to be a good game.

Stop trying to replicate things you clearly don't understand and haven't been able to reproduce successfully. Have some original ideas, take some creative risks, and make something worth playing on its own merits.

Ugh, Battleroyale shooters are so 2016. CEOs are still chasing that segment? And screwing up BGE of all games? 🫩

Everyone wants to be Fortnite, but they forget Fortnite was a fun game before it got popular and it almost bombed if not for a hard course-correction on its gameplay.

"Good" is not something investors recognize.

Yeah it's the Simpsons bit where a TV exec in the boardroom says "we need a new idea, quick turn on your TVs and see what's good on the other channels we can copy."

Yeah, it's all about making lame extraction shooters now! Five years from now when they finish making the AAA extraction shooters they're working on now, that will be outdated.

I'm not the smartest, but it seems to me that studios are using these massive games to launder money. Something stinks

It's UniSoft. Basically reverting 20 years would make their share price go to the moon.

Oh yeah, the extraction shooters. They're everywhere. Thanks, Tarkov. XD
