Good! Wonder what trend the brain-dead CEOs are going to chase after now. Cozy games?
Just ask "what is making money" to get the answer. It's still live service and gacha shit, but I'm sure they'll try to add machine learning to it somehow cause you gotta have that
I think they're going to jump ship for straight up gambling apps. That seems like the growth area now.
They'll ask the AI what to make then ask the AI to code it and use AI art.
Platformers.
Especially if Silksong comes out this year. I could see a board memeber pointing at it saying, "IF THAT FLAT GAME CAN MAKE A MORBILLION DOLLARS, WE CAN MAKE ONE SO FAST AND GET SO MUCH MONEY!"
But then someone will remind them "sir...that's what mobile gaming is"

Oh well thank god then
GoW as a live game isn't the most out there thing. Tens of people liked the multiplayer mode in Ascension (?) and the reception to the roguelite mode was generally very favorable. And the core game already had gear based progression that could map to something like what Ghost of Tsushima has (that has hundreds of people who like it...).
But having frigging Bluepoint spend cycles on this? I am sure that the studio asked for something more than just remakes but... what?
I don't think it at all matches "Never ask me about my past" Dad Kratos and nobody likes Atreus enough, but one could easily imagine an "open world" live service game where new gods and factions are added every few months and you do quests for or against them.
11 days? How is that even enough to see if it could many money? It sounds like they were very excited to pull the plug at the first hiccup
When a game cost that much to make and didn't launch with big numbers, there was no prayer of it ever making money.
