  • They’re simply drawing all the wrong conclusions here:

    even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

    The layoffs don’t mean the game or company were unsuccessful, it means they found other ways to eliminate those jobs.

    Warner Bros. Discovery took a $200 million loss on Suicide Squad

    That’s nothing to do with graphical fidelity, it was a shit game that followed up a shit movie.

    Sony closed the studio behind Concord

    Lots of potential reasons for this. If you ask me, they released a $30 game into a genre chock full of “free to play” games.

    Personally I appreciate “cinematic” games but titles like Balatro and Stardew Valley (neither of which I own) are proof of the simple fact that making games that are actually fun to play is far far more important, and far more profitable.
