Game publishers still have trouble with the idea that good games sell, live service or not.

I remember when Assassin's Creed was just a game about killin dudes …
if this sentiment was true, it would also mean no one reads books. Flat out light years away from the truth
We don’t a need a long hour and super repetitive and boring games. We need finished and fun games even if they are only 10-12 hours long
It's only natural that fromsoft took over the video game industry. They make the best games. And they have been for several years
So, you are gonna make a “EA PROVEN WRONG” video every time there is a successful single player? Find a new subject. It is getting old and boring.
I was thinking about getting this game but I'm not a soul born fan
live services is the future they want, were you get the most money for the smaller effort, one new skin every month for half the price of a game
Children don’t have recurrent cash too spend. And if they don’t save their money, they can’t pay money too buy consoles etc. later in life and pay for EA’s Gambling based boring and pointless loot boxes!
This won't dissuade the money grubbing rats in charge though. What they see is: Elden Ring could have made 10x the money if it was full of micro transactions and live service bullshit mechanics. They think they can make as much money out of any game as they do with FIFA if they just stick more and more "live service" shit in it.
It's almost like…game developers should just…make a good game.
What a surprise, make a good video games then gain success from said video games! Who would’ve think of that? Crazy concept i know.
When EA or Ubisoft say that "Singleplayer games have no place in the industry", they're not saying that they're unpopular or don't sell well. What they're saying is that these sorts of games don't deserve to be popular or successful because they don't financially exploit the playerbase at every step of the game. in the ideal world for EA and Ubisoft, every game would be monetized like Chocobo GP: a Full-Price game that uses every shitty monetization system they can think of on top of an expiring Pay-Currency.
The single fact that we refer to these greedy studios as companies and not game developers anymore, speaks volumes
Let's see how ea screws up dead space remake
Corporations want to create more subscriptions to milk us.

I love how whenever a non live service game does well yong has to drive the point home every single time… suck it EA
Unfortunately Margit is still running roughshod on the new players and sending copies of the game to the pre-owned section of eBay.
I would agree they have learned from their past entries… but not 100% though, there is still three mechanics that they have not implemented yet. 1. Climbing big bosses and medium bosses 2. Swimming mechanics having a player fine rebreather parts either to the West parts or the East parts and bring it to the Smithy for him to make it for the player so that they can have an underwater Adventure. Finally 3. Climbing Ledges.. as a matter of fact everywhere that your horse cannot go even with the double jump you can now climb it. For these three reasons that are common sense and won't destroy the Integrity of the hardness of the game needs to be implemented.. because it just makes sense.
People need to stop supporting EA until they get the message that live services is not the only way.
