CheatCC says: "A couple of months ago, everyone's favorite game-developer-turned-movie-st ar, Cliff Bleszinski, blogged about the uphill battle that horror games have been facing. Cliffy B seems to think that the horror genre can't possibly thrive in today's market, because prices are too high and campaigns are too short. "In the 60$ disc based market horror doesn’t fly - it’s the ultimate 'Campaign Rental' that’s played for 2 days and traded in and I’m sure EA knows this," he explained. 'When we’re fully digital we’ll see more true horror games coming back. (Look at Amnesia and Slenderman on PC.)'"
Pete Hines: “Truthfully, I still think Bethesda is just part of something that is not authentic and is not genuine. And that shouldn't be a surprise to you.”
Kirk writes: "Two years after his retirement, where he spends his free time as a pro bono advisor for people struggling in the games industry, I got the chance to reminisce with him about one of the most fascinating careers in video games. "

This year's Fallout Day will be celebrated in style, with a broadcast that will give players a glimpse at the future of Fallout 76, the latest entry in the series.
Fallout 76 this, Fallout 76 that…Jesus
Remake of Fallout in the style of the Bethesda games
Fallout 3 or New Vegas remakes
A new spin off like what New Vegas was
Anything. Just not more 76.
Fallout 76 is a pile of trash. Give us something new. A remaster, port, new game, remake, something.
No.
Considering he said Microtransactions are good and used games are bad, no one should listen to Bleszinski.
didnt know he was everyones favorite game developer
The only thing I like about Cliffy is he is a gamer at heart and has been his whole life. I do think he is a pompous arrogant jerk though.
I have seen a pattern for the genre as a whole.
In the retail space, you see almost nothing as far as true survival horror games.
What you do see, and this is mostly on the pc, is true survival horror in the form of free downloadable games, or those in the realm of $5 - $20, made by smaller development teams on small budgets. Those are the ones that truly breakout, mainly being that the price of admission is much lower than that of a traditional release.
This isn't an end-all-be-all fact, but there is logic behind the thought that a short, $60 release in such a genre perhaps won't garner the revenue needed to be viable. Again, there will always be the exceptions.
