This was my point with my previous post. He gets what I was saying!

 

[Yurinka]

Yurink thinks these stupid CEOs are geniuses that are always right and all gamers are stupid

No, I just think you keep crying like a baby and insulting CEOs because they said they'll focus more on certain game type you don't like, because you are afraid of seeing them moving away from the type of games you like.

Sometimes to the point of rejecting reality and mading up stories instead of accepting the logical reasoning behind their actions. Which is to protect the interest of their stakeholders, keep relatively safe the very risky and super expensive projects they handle and trying to growth their business by focusing more on the biggest and fastest growing markets.

You can't accept CEOs take decisions that are the best for their business, you think they are stupid if they don't focus on the type of games you like.

They don't take decisions lightly, they always do a lot of market research trying to play it as safe as possible and to reduce the huge risk there of a market that relatively often quickly changes due to several unpredictable reasons.

In the same way, they won't drastically change their strategy just because a game has been a big hit or flop when they see a clear market trend. They will try to learn from it and adapt.

It's like they're accelerating towards a wall.

Impressive, to say the least.

WB is even more clueless than Ubisoft.

That’s a long winded way to say you can’t think for yourself

Alright guys let's bring it back. Let's not derail the thread.

Thank you.

The issue is not live service. Granblue, Palworld and Helldivers all launched in the same month and are live service and all have succeeded both critically and commercially. Truth is suicide squad ip is hot garbage and the game sucks.

They are so clueless that are two of the biggest game publishers in the world.

Are you sure Granblue succeded in sales? It's a F2P and outside Dragon Ball FighterZ (partly because of the Dragon Ball IP) the ARC System Work titles don't have great sales.

Warner Bros, of all the publishers out there, said they need less AAA and more GaaS? ROFL.

Bankruptcies are required at this point to cleanse the industry.

Game Dev: "Sir, our GAAS games are failing miserably"
Executive: "No shit, it's because they're not GAAS enough, we need our own Fortnite, bitch! Get to coding!"
Game Dev: (makes new GAAS game that also fails)
Executive: (closes studio and gets golden parachute)

For fuck's sake I hope Zaslav sells this goddamn husk of a company soon already. Guy is a caricature of every single bad aspect of capitalism.
