MODERATORS
They've been doing this for years. I worked at WB Games over a decade ago, and they told us that if there was a maximum amount of money a player could spend on a game we developed, we had failed.
WB has had some garbage tier writing and projects for a while now, maybe they should stop acting like their franchises are going to be insane successes with no effort.
You aren't wrong
Ah yes - the the DC cinematic universe went great, and people definitely can't get enough of lazy rehashes of the same old IP - what could possibly go wrong?
Investors see $$$ in live services and most Corporations don't understand games somehow. Nobody gets why people can be bored of Ubisoft re-releasing the same formula every year in a different skin is getting old, they just see that they spent money on it and expect a return on investment.
Well people still buy their games, so at the end of the day they arent wrong. I havent played a new ubisoft game in years, im holding out on the new splinter cell for it to be the last nail or change my opinion for better.
True, I think that sales are slowing though.
By now companies must know that games based on an IP are almost always trash. Usually the IP-games that are supposedly great turn out to have have average gameplay and marketed hard with advertising spends larger than the development costs ( cough I'm looking at you Spider-Man).
