Really crappy games nobody wants to play.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the vast majority of game makers are putting out Really crappy games nobody wants to play. Only a relative few make the hits we hear about. There is still some money in that long tail of crap, and the AI companies will get better and better at gathering those pennies to themselves over time. I even think they'll go upmarket soon. That is, I think they'll get much better at generating even the hit blockbuster type games.
- pquki4 3y agoExactly. Not even talking about app store which has a wide selection of games, if you just look at xbox store, which is presumably of higher quality (there is a higher bar for publishing in Xbox store -- you can't just create a new account and start publishing), it has a ton of games that have bad reviews and don't make sense to me - including from publishers like EA. Well, some people are playing those games, and EA is still around and doing well. Sounds like the person doesn't really play games much or understand how this works.
- transcriptase 3y agoIt can be entertaining to go on the store on the Nintendo Switch. Before owning one I assumed that it would be high-quality curated games that meet some minimum standard for Nintendo to allow it on their ecosystem. Nope! It’s a sewer of $0.99 games that obviously prey on people thinking they’re getting a popular game like “Grand Theft Auto V” and not “Grand Auto Theft: V Edition” which turns out to be a top-down mobile game using the same fonts and imagery.
