      It's hilarious because I could single-handedly save AAA gaming. It's just too bad that none of these companies ever listen to me even though I've been right for decades. The quickest way to fix AAA gaming is to limit video game budgets to 10 million dollars or less per video game and to take these big studios and split them up into four teams where they create four separate games in these teams have full control over what games they want to make with no interference from the publisher. They can get rid of the microtransactions in season passes because that stuff would never be in a video game that I had control over. I would give them a time limit of 1 to 3 years to create their game. The game would sell on Steam for between 20 and $40 depending on how much it cost to make the game and how much time it took to make it. We don't need these giant games that are supposed to last for years and years. Gamers just want fun experiences that they can play online with their buddies for a few months.

    Wait a moment. The Covid was in like 2019. By that point Zenimax was under charge of Altman. Microsoft bought Bethesda in 2021. So if Zenimax overhired people, it was under now deceased boss Altman. So literally in this one case, the current higher ups wouldn't be to blame. Since it would fall under old Zenimax owners to do so.
    And I am not sure if it's bad thing that Roundhouse is merged with Zenimax Online. Sure as heck ESO demands a LOT of attention, and it is still a cash cow for Bethesda as whole.

    AAA gaming lost me this year. The only 2 AAA games i bought (Dragons Dogma 2, Like a Dragon 8) both disappointed me for different reasons. I already gave up on western games a long time ago because of the wooke-ness monster, and now my Japanese games aren't safe anymore from being westernized. I moved on to emulation and it has rekindled my love for gaming again. Not because of nostalgia, but because the games are actually fun to play. Modern game devs don't have the capacity to understand that graphics don't make a good game, politics and pandering wont make a good game, spending 6 years making a game will not equal to a good game. Spending most of you budget on cutscenes will not equal to a good game. I hope more people leave console/aaa gaming entirely. Embrace handheld PC's instead, because if these studios are forced to scale down their games and make sure they are optimized for less powerful systems that the majority are playing in then i feel we will get better games that have the same spirit of those earlier 3d titles. PS1,PS2,PS3,Xbox360,GameCube,Dreamcast games didn't have the luxury of powerful hardware and with endless storage space, infinite patches (aside from PS3/Xbox360) so they had to do more with less, now a days these aaa studios have endless budgets, dev time and horsepower and they are still putting out trash games.

    Not gonna pretend and say that Tango's games were these amazing underrated experiences but are we seriously going to say their games were somehow worse than what the other Xbos studios like the Coalition, Rare and 343 Industries have been doing for the past 10 plus years? Give me a break, Hi-Fi Rush was a game a lot of people love and yet they shut the studio down.

    12:50 T10 I agree with FM Reboot is fucking trash. It took 6 years and MILLIONS…MILLIONS of dollars to make…only 400 people on Steam play the game regularly 🤣
    PGG who make the Horizon series are goats. They’ve got significantly less of a budget and their games are light years better than Motorsport, they actually listen to the community unlike almost every single dev team today.
    Also another reason that Triple A games are trash and the industry is crumbling. I imagine you didn’t want to bring up for whatever reason (I’m pretty sure I know why lol). Triple A games are *INCREDIBLY* woke. A majority of people don’t want that shit in their games so they play Indie and Double A games (which a majority of the time are better games overall lmao) which do not have it or it’s very slight. It’s not in your face. *Cough TLOU 2 Cough*
    Edit: Forza is also one of Xbox’s biggest franchises. It’s their bread and butter. FH5 had and still has the biggest launch of any Xbox games studio ever. They’ll *NEVER* cut budget on them. That’s stupid that’s tantamount to cutting the budget for GTA 6 or CoD. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…

    Not only are people generally playing less because lockdowns aren't a thing anymore, but people are spending less due to the terrible economy and runaway inflation (turns out printing 25% of ALL THE MONEY THAT'S EVER BEEN PRINTED in the span of 2 years is a bad idea). It's so bad that I've heard of people taking out short term loans just to pay for groceries. Despite all that, AAA publishers still want you to $70 for new games that still include DLC, pre-order bonuses, and microtransactions.

    The way to do live service right is to not call it a live service game from the start. Make a good game first, and if it hits then you just keep adding content to it. Look what dying light 1 did. They made an excellent game and just kept adding sh*t to it for 10 years. Dude i wish all my favorite games pre-2016 would have just kept going, last 10 years even on my PS5 all i have been playing is early PS4 games, i barely by any PS5 aaa games, especially live service games.

    Unpopular opinion (maybe?)- I love triple A games. I love the format, the graphical quality, often the mechanics, and the breadth of content. I hate crunch culture, mistreating employees, and overinflated budgets largely due to marketing. I think tripleA can survive. They can actually iterate on mechanics to make them fresh, and introduce new IPs telling great stories and offering explorable, beautiful, expansive worlds and lore. The marketing just isn't necessary. Leverage social media, "influencers", and gaming media and you can substantially reduce marketing costs while maintaining a similar imprint. I think enough people expect and engage with triple A games that if companies just manage costs better and emphasize gamers, the actual lifeblood of the gaming industry, they can right this ship. Stop closing studios and invest in them. Let them make the games people want and keep corporate bs out if the way and the AAA space will thrive

    AAA gaming is absolutely 100% sustainable. The Seeker is not spending too much money developing your game. You would have to be a complete moron to think that you need to spend millions of dollars developing a video game in 2024. You don't need a huge budget you don't need hundreds of developers to work on your game you don't need a marketing department or any of this other garbage. All you need to do is get 20 to 50 and passionate developers to get together and create a game that they want to create. AAA developers have forgotten that video games are supposed to be made for having fun. Keyword being fun. How did video games on the old consoles like the NES the Super Nintendo even the PlayStation 1 survive if they weren't having 100 million budgets? Some of these games were made with less than 1 million budget. Not every game has to have Unreal Engine 5 top tier graphics with thousands of lines of voice dialogue and 40 cut scenes every 20 minutes. Take a look at Indie developers who are making small games that only cost maybe $20 to $40 to buy yet they are still making massive profits. You need to go back to the drawing board and actually design games that are fun and stop trying to do these huge big budget games that take you 10 years to develop. It's absolutely ridiculous. It should never take you more than one to three years to make a video game. End of discussion

    We literally begun the year (besides many other things ofc) with pre orders for Hi Fi Rush' 808's Nendoroid. Pre orders which just last month closed and the damn thing doesn't ship until next year.
    Not to mention the sequel which started development a week after the game released. Week which coincidentally the game started blowing up, despite it not being announced.
    And BTW, when was the last time you saw Microsoft bombard you with ads for their newest releases the same way Sony still does for theirs?
    As if it was possible to be even more done with Microsoft well, they certainly achieved that with flying colors.
    Even after Bill Gates schizo posts on Twitter I've even considered transitioning to Linux altogether.
    That's how bad Microsoft is. It's rotten all the way to the core.

    Just take these big game development Studios and assign them for games to make that they get to choose and design on their own. They can release one game every quarter and give them a time limit of between 1:00 to 3 years to complete the game. The game would sell for between $20 to $40 on Steam depending on how much it cost to develop the game and how long it took to make it. Their budget would be limited to 10 million dollars or less. We do not need top-tier graphics and we do not need thousands of voice lines of dialogue or a bunch of cutscenes in the video game. All we need are fun games that people can play with their friends online for a couple months before they move on to the next game. This way your Studios have a game coming out every quarter which gives Gamers 4 months to play this game and enjoy it before they buy the next game and move on. That gives you four games per year that you can sell for 40 bucks a piece to millions of gamers. I guarantee that you will sell more copies of a $40 game than you ever would of a 60 or $70 game.
