      Are you mad? Their quarterly bonus is driven by MTX KPIs, with a spiff for cross-platform synergies! Won’t someone please think of the executive bonuses?!

    Aka console owners will not put up with the low quality, highly mtx’d shit we pump out, but mobile gamers… they’ll eat that right up, and ask for more

      Wait until they find out that mobile gamers do the same, since the market is already saturated with that stuff. If you don’t produce a compelling game, it’s not going to go well.

    Well, ya, they’re supposed to make games that strive to be AAA. It’s a grade they recieve, not a thing they tell us their game is before its released.

    Any AAA game that doesn’t focus on micro transactions as the main goal and invests in the gameplay/writing rather than solely in fancy graphics is bound to be a success.

    AAA market is volatile because people hate the standards that game companies are trying to make AAA games.

    “very volatile” means “we’re entitled to your money but your not doing your job and giving it to us.”
