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.

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.

I bought GTA IV PC version but they messed it up big time. I also bought GTA IV for the PS3. I hope they dont go bankrupt and make another GTA but if the next GTA doesnt have the missing elements that previous GTA games have and its bugged to hell like GTA IV then I wont buy the next GTA.
It was a true shame that the PC version was released with that many bugs in it. R* Toronto was the ones that released it, and they have a record of butchering things.
