It’s actually insane that people had to get completely burned 11 years in a row just to actually realise there was a huge fire going on.
-
Ubisoft got a Pass. Since they create AAAA games nowadays.
-
As a senior engineer that worked in the gaming industry for over a decade, I can say one thing: You hit the nail on the head.
-
From a personal perspective, the $70 price tag doesn't help. Unless it's on steam where I can get a refund if I don't like the game, $70 makes me hesitant to buy games anymore, let alone pre order. I have to see it first then decide.
-
It's funny how the movie industry is paralleling the video game industry during the same time period. Big budgets, lots of greed, zero inspiration.
-
Greed is one of the reasons why modern gaming isn’t fun anymore. Edit: No I don’t play Fortnite and COD. Even the recent COD games suck. I don’t play live service games in general. Yes there are good games that have came out last year in this year. But I mainly avoid the bad or mediocre ones.
-
It’s ironic, the more devs try to make a game safe and profitable, the more skeptical I am of its quality.
-
If AAA studios will continue as they have been doing, they'll cease to exist sooner or later. Then when Indie-studios grow and become the new AAA studios, they'll suffer the same faith and someone else will take their place. Thus completing the cycle.
-
I’m going to quote EmpLemon here because he summed it up brilliantly “People are so focused on making a product Profitable, that they forget to make it Valuable”

DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
-
I guess Starfield is one of the best warnings of how bad the industry is right now. The marketing for it was catchy, everyone expected No Man's Sky but AAA version with much more, instead we got Loadingfield.
-
Lifelong gamer and there isn't a single game on the horizon I am looking forward to. The industry really is dead until gaming 3.0 really takes off
-
10:20 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE? ⛏️
-
We're also at fault for continuously purchasing their overpriced games, and the quality of AAA games has declined in recent years. Oh, wait. AAAA games : /
-
I really appreciate the format of these videos... ActMan manages to throw out his opinions, and also put out mostly non biased pieces of info out there as well and consider the thoughts, opinions, and questions of others all while being entertaining. Really well done my dude.
-
I just really hope that fromsoft doesn't start dying from this plague.
-
AAA games are all morphing into the same game. Battlepass ✅ Crossover ✅ Cosmetic store ✅ Macrotransactions ✅ Excessive in game advertising ✅ Horribly goofy cosmetics ✅ Content paywalls ✅
-
There's almost a paradox of success where something goes from too big to fail, to too big to afford to fail.
-
Wow this was a very well thought out and well-spoken video. Great job.
