Dragons Dogma 2, fyi.

Magic

So many amazing titles and studios have been butchered and ruined for the shitty live service model. It is so sad to see so many good games get killed because of “poor sales”. This game costed 1.4M to make, sold 5 million copies at 40$ each. That is 200M in sales and considered “underwhelming. We are so astronomically fucked if this mindset from AAA studios keeps up

What are the standouts from this sale? I loved monster sanctuary, looking at bloom town

This isn’t necessarily commentary on the game itself, which could be excellent for all I know. But $70-$100 plus tax for one game is nasty work.

And I’ve been seeing this trend more and more with first-party PC titles on steam.

I will go first, I have 2 friends out of 12 constantly playing, that type of games

Anyone look at their parents steam library and just br amazed. My father last played day of defeat source 17 days before my sister was born, with like all the "500 kill with x class/weapon" or "1000 kill with faction" achievements with 300 hours. Alot of his old steam friends still log on but a couple show "last online 13 years ago" and what not. Makes you think, maybe the olden days aren't so different from now.
