Why the [of Indie Games]?
- ab9 15y agoBecause that's the context of the article and HN users might want to know that. It's not clear in the original title.
- hasenj 15y agoI don't think corporates rely on "loyal costumers". I can't imagine a manager at some big company agreeing to this line of thinking. I mean yea, theoretically this applies to everything (games, music, movies, etc), but .. I have a hard time believing that big companies will someday realize this.
- wccrawford 15y agoI disagree. When they make XYZ 7, they are counting on loyal XYZ customers to buy it just because it's the next one. I'm sure they also try to make a great game, but the budget for development and marketing were based on the sales of XYZ 6 and that many of those customers will be back for the next one. Brand loyalty is real and companies do count on it.
