Here’s a thought… maybe they could try making a good game?

I mean you gotta give em credit, they are getting a bit better lately.

Not sure I buy that. I think there’s been a steady decline. None of the sports titles have done anything interesting in years. Shooters have been declining too. Go back a decade and they had some bright spots like Battlefield Bad Company, which I’d argue broke the mold that they’ve used before and after those games.

There have always been a couple games here and there that were good, just like the Bad Company games a decade ago and the Jedi games now. But those are the exceptions

Well, the Dead Space remake was a start.
