This is system wars. You shouldn't apologize for shit here. I whine about everything I notice on internet. I whine about Nintendo fanboys constantly here and for good reason. They are shit. Absolute worst posters on every forum I go to. Sony fanboys usually keep to themselves and talk up how great their games are and are the most defensive group I've ever seen. Easiest people to bate. Microsoft fanboys keep to themselves but recently have decided to go full blown psycho with the fact that ps4 is more powerful and selling better than xbox one and won't accept it. Nintendo fanboys are like that invasive cancer in most gaming communities from what I've seen. They are defensive and combative at the same time. They need to say how Zelda is the most perfect series and then talk about how bad sony games are. They are the worst.

Those three buzzwords all have 3 different meanings. Advertising budget of a larger publisher would give the game more attention. A publisher name like activision, ea, sony, or Microsoft would cause people to buy the game. They have a huge mindshare in the game industry and have outlets to show these games. 4a games has proven to be a talented studio so they shouldn't be unable to find a huge publisher. I am just surprised they haven't. I didn't feel like I needed to expand on those words.

No it isn't. UK video game industry was petitioning for a while to get tax subsidies because companies were firing employees and less jobs existed in that area. After france did an outrageous tax subsidy, United Kingdom video game employers were in a frenzy to get a tax subsidy from their country for a fear of losing their job. This happened recently and you could read all about this. When you could get some artist that could create 3d maya tools in china versus America at 3/4 the cost. Companies have been doing this a ton recently. It sucks that people are unaware of how the industry works.

No. These are marketing words. Sphere of influence refers to the influence that a company has on the world. It is common saying for hundred years now. It is a word that is used so commonly that I am surprised you never heard of it

Mindshare, sphere of influence, and advertising budget.

4a games is a developer in Ukraine. Their employees get paid 4x less on average than an American employee causing development costs to be dramatically less. They released two games that scored in the 80+ metacritic score. They can reasonably have a team of 200 people creating triple A title and the game would cost much less than if it was made in the states or Europe. What Europe has done recently to compete with outsourcing was to give video game developers a tax subsidy. The reason why there aren't any developers in new York area is because they were all forced to move up to Canada for tax subsidies to maximize profits. It is amazing how unknowledgable people are about the game industry.

Curious question. Low wages due to living in a shit 3rd world country where no one makes money which will allow cheap development cost. I wonder why they aren't being published by anyone but thq and deep silver. These type of developers seem like cash cows that can obtain high profits. There must be regulations that are causing them not to find a publisher. Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense since it is free money. Please, does anyone know the answer.

You miss the point. I am trying to tell you to stop shitting up sony threads. I don't see many cows go into sheep threads telling them that zelda is a franchise that is dying and sales are declining and that wii-u zelda may be the last 3d zelda game ever. All data backs this up. Twitter, google trends, facebook stats. I never hear people say that the audience of nintendo is limited to kids and a niche adult audience. I never see any facts dumb sheep ever use. I only hear them rant and rave like lunatics about how last of us is a shitty game with a generic story. I hear how ps4 is going to sell as bad as wii-u. I hear lunacy.

Sheep, I know that you were bullied when you were 15 and never fully developed any social skills because your friends started playing on xbox and sony consoles and stopped playing nintendo. I know that you were made fun of for this and ultimately feel the need to vent against sony games on every forum. But do you know how annoying you are and how all these rules stop people from calling you a retarded fanboy. I know every time I see a mario, goomba, peach avatar, I know you are going to do this constantly but I can't say anything to stop this or I will be banned. I know that every person on the planet earth is aware of this and is scared to say anything because they will be banned. We don't want to bully an 8 year old or a person with some form of autism because it is unacceptable thing to do. But damn it, most of us want this to end.

Oh god. Just played call of duty ghost and it is bad. Real bad. I am about on mission in san diego and am done and do not want to go any further. I have to say between the orion earthquakes, telepathically communicating to your dog, and your lame ass brother that activision couldn't have made a worse game. I just can't comprehend how they thought rex k9 cam was a good idea. Or the Odinearthquake in los angeles and san diego was a good idea. Or the family aspect was a good idea. I've gotten to the point where I don't think they thought anything through and this is coming from someone who bought every call of duty besides WaW. It is assassin creed 3 bad.
