Wow, so when you make a game that’s actually good you make money from it. Damn, EA and Ubi should take notes! I thought microtransactions are how you make money
At this point even if EA started miraculously making good games I wouldnt be buying them. Fuck kushner and fuck the saudis
Sadly, microtransactions are how you make money these days. Remedy made 40million with this latest one and calling it their greatest success, but it's a fraction of the 24 billion that went into mtx only on pc this past year. Remedy is also much smaller then EA/Ubi and iirc privately owned, so the secret sauce may instead be good game + small overhead + no shareholders demanding infinite money.
Edit: i stand corrected, Remedy is publicly listed.
.+ be know already and have people anticipate your game.
If you are new on the scene and have a good game etc. You still need to break through the noise.
