It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Perhaps because he makes stupid claims? Maybe that's why? I don't hate the dude, I just don't think he knows what he's talking about half the time.
I dont hate him, I dont really hate anyone, even the Welsh man my Mum ran away with
I just dont agree with alot of what he has to say, or even care what he has to say, I personally have no use for any of his market predictions etc, im not into making money, im not an investor
If I could "ignore" him like I can other N4G users I would, same as Peter Molyneux
"Why Do Games Hate Pachter?"
Not sure. But then I didn't know games could hate anyone.
@stylishjerk
lol It's fine. Just found it humorous is all. Back on topic, I don't hate Pachter either. He just tends to be wrong a lot of the time and makes very wild claims at times. Frankly I don't see why people give him so much attention.
I agree not everyone hates him, but when you have articles like from wiiudaily saying, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is the worst analyst of them all" these are journalists saying these things its pretty ridiculous.
Let the guy do his job, no hate here. ;)
