Will Tuttle reports:
''When it was announced the Electronic Arts' Chicago-based studio would be closing its doors, boxing fans lamented the fact that the development team behind the acclaimed Fight Night Round 3 was being scattered to the wind. Did this mean that fans of boxing games would be out of luck, or would a new challenger step into the ring in an attempt to wrest the crown from the current champion of boxing games? Thankfully, an answer came quickly, as EA announced soon after that it was already hard at work on another boxing title, albeit one that is much less realistic. This is actually a good thing, as it's been a number of years since we've seen a good arcade-style boxing game hit the market. We recently had a chance to take a look at FaceBreaker during a recent trip to Vancouver, and while it's a bit too early to say whether or not the game will slake our boxing thirst, it looks like it should be a fun game.''
The ultimate reason is both shocking and disgusting.
From the article:
"Real Steel is, believe it or not, one of the top 10 best selling games on XBox Live Arcade. Considering the prevalence of the DLC, and the number of people playing, it’s a safe bet that Real Steel has become a surprisingly steady source of income for Yukes."
So a company is continuing to update and support a popular title.
