System Shock 2's performance didn't give publishers much confidence
What’s interesting to me is of course how cheaply Bioshock got made compared to today’s blockbuster hits. Somewhere, we took the wrong turn in regards to modern game development, truly.
Too many managers to pay and as a result too high personel costs, I would assume. :<
Bro, most of the games I’ve been playing are ports of older titles, Indie Games, or straight up non-profit fan games (Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers is the kart game of the ever btw)

There are still good AAA games. The trick is to wait for reviews with gameplay videos and only buy the good ones.

I only buy games which are 5 years or older at this point.
Valid, gotta know which games won’t run on FOMO and if it’s going to be a case like Overwatch where it starts out as a good game and quickly devolves.
Yeah, buy them two years later once the bugs have been finally patched and the DRM is ripped out and gameplay doesn’t stutter anymore.
Or just 🏴☠️ AAA and give that money to indie devs that are actually trying to produce a unique and creative experience.
