4 out of 9 platinum sellers are free to play games with microtransactions. And people are surprised that good AAA games are so rare. Why bother when people will spend more on barely functioning buggy crap.
“AAA” game companies goal is not to make good games, but to make good money.
To be fair, a decent share of the AAA games are also barely functioning buggy crap on launch…
And some even come with microtransactions.
Starcraft II Dev explains a horse microtransaction in World of Warcraft, that took one person a few days to make, made Blizzard more money than StarCraft II, which took an entire team 2 years to develop. Capitalism ensures major studios will never make a good game. Games are now only a pretense to sell microtransactions that cost the company nothing to produce but sell for millions.
The fact that Modern Warfare 3 is among the platinum sellers with a Mostly Negative review score blows my mind
Nah. That’s like being surprised EAs new football game made bank.
… on Steam. I find it hard to believe that Starfield had revenue comparable to other major titles if it didn’t come out on Playstation.
