"As the owner of Fortnite, we eagerly anticipate making more money from Fortnite while the rest of the industry goes to hell pumping out countless failed attempts at live service games"

The games industry is so bizarre lately, especially in this gen, most developers making all the wrong moves and doing the opposite of what their customers actually want in a product. If anything, Fortnite is the odd one out, or the one outstanding phenomenon that continuously hits it out of the park, you can expect large multiples of games to reach that height of popularity.

No it's not. Stop making games with ridiculous budgets and hyper realism, stuffed with DEI agendas with a payment structure that is designed to nickel and dime gamers.

Just make a complete game that people want.

It’s foolish to expect exponential growth in sales for the gaming industry, comparing the film industry for example, the biggest in terms of gross sales was Avatar and that released in 2009, why publishers expect video games to continue to generate ever increasing profits is unrealistic and a sign of corporate greed.

It must really irritate companies that push gaas to see stuff like Astro bot sell healthy numbers without a ballooned budget or workforce while their latest live service title like foamstars, suicide squad, skull and bones etc they spend millions on goes down the toilet overnight

It's just that it's no longer passion that's driving most of these games. It's all about the money now.

Yes , especially because people like this asshole right here don't hear the fans and gamers. Since gaming become mainstream they started to appeal to casuals because they don't complain while gamers, who normally are well informed and also have the habit of complaining very vocally, were completely forgotten and now are even insulted. So yes videogame industry changed and it's not our (gamers) fault.
