I wouldn't say I'm cheap but I don't like to overspend for simple stuff like Pizza or food. I tend to shop for deals and stay away from expensive things. Also I rarely buy a game day 1 unless it's one of my favorite franchises.
It's not those games that are generating the revenue rather it's the lack of high quality games. Too many live service games instead of single players. God of War is an example of a high quality single player game. We should have gotten a Days Gone 2.
They want too much even when a game sells well but the critic bomb it they won't do a sequel hence Days Gone 2 not being greenlit. Additionally the writing is lacking in some AAA's it may just be the real good developers are doing their own thing now and working on smaller franchises and all those grandfathered great devs no longer work for the top companies.
Consolidation hit the industry hard with sony buying up all these studios and microsoft as well. Improve the writing, cut the live service DLC mumbo jumbo and make high quality single player games.
Also if you're going to do live service make the battle pass stay forever so people can actually take their time and finish them. Hats off to Deceive Inc for doing that.
Man oh man is this book exquisite. I've only read about 150 pages, but I can't put it down, and I must admit if you are a Dragon Age fan you owe yourself to read the first two books in the series, but The Calling is just exceptional. I find myself laughing and gasping, I dare say it, so much that I had to let you all know about it.
I definitely give this book a 10 out of 10, and I'm not even halfway through it. Hats off to David he has a winner with this one.
