FTFY. Or, FTFE. Numerous examples.
- shados 7y agoYou read this wrong. I was specifically mentioning AAA games with large examples to make the point more obvious. I then mentioned "if the game is good" because if it isn't you shouldn't expect to get your investment back. I did NOT mean that you spent 10s of millions of dollars to make any good games. That would be silly in a world of Hollow Knight, Cadence of Hyrule/Crypt of the Necrodancer, Dead Cells, Gungeon and more, where indie games are kings.
- bartwe 7y agoCreeping up to that 100M mark for AAA at this point.
- klingonopera 7y agoI feel "if the game was big" would've been more fitting than "good". Reading it (can) imply any game that didn't spend money is bad. I got downvoted already, and honestly could've let that comment be, it's not that big an issue, and I think we see it similarly. Also, I'm posting this to clarify my stance and remove any doubt. ...the word came into mind: I was nitpicking. Yes, I should've let that be. Cheers!
