Roberts has, accidentally i assume, found a unique niche of selling the game utopia of their youth to people who now absolutely would not have the time and dedication to really dive into a game world as they did.
The product is the dream of reliving a memorable part of the customer's youth, but now in 4k instead of VGA. Obviously, bumping the resolution won't make anybody young again, but that very profitable dream can be kept alive for as long as they can keep the "coming soon" signs standing. A finished game however, no matter how good it would be, will bring the reality shock that people who spend hundreds on virtual goods from a producer who peaked in the 1990ies just are not 14 anymore. Until then it it's the perfect simulation of actually waiting to be allowed to play. Kind of like World of Warcraft, but without the side effects.
- scrollaway 11y agoThat is a ridiculous assertion. The game has over a million backers. That is neither a niche, nor is it fair to say the majority of backers fit the demographic you just gave. And would downvoters actually provide any reasoning to such a senseless assertion? Or is this just supposed to be the cool new thing to say?
