Um, literally just ask a question and you have to give me some smart ass remark. The only thing underdeveloped are your social skills and the ammount of respect you have for other people. Shouldn't you have learned from the first time you lost your account over me? Wouldn't want to have to spend anoth $20 😂
Here's a fun fact about AAA development; it costs a lot. You have 100+ developers (as well as administration staff and everybody inside the publishing office). You have computers for all of those 100+ staff, probably running dual-monitors and pretty high-spec, high-power consumption systems. Those PCs require software licences, some of which will be royalty based, some are yearly subscriptions. You have the cost of all the furniture in the building, all the paper materials used by the developers and administration staff, all of the business registration costs, all of the taxes and salaries, all of the water and internet bills, compensation for employees on paid leave or who are entitled to a severance package, marketing costs (which can skyrocket into the hundreds of millions), lawyer costs and so on, so forth (there's way more costs to cover). Then you have to remember that the longer it takes a developer/publisher to release a game, the more time it takes for them to both earn back the cash they've spent on development but also make some kind of profit to fund future projects (businesses can't survive if they're only ever equalling up on losses). Furthermore, every single year, the prices of just about everything increase. Taxes increase, the minimum wage increases, inflation increase and so on.
If AAA Publishers push their developers to continually make gradually smaller games that'll be at the same cost, gamers will (appropriately) bitch, moan and complain because the games aren't improving and getting bigger, as they should.
Yes, it feels like a stuffty practice and there needs to be a better way to cover costs, but there's a reason that publishers are trying to find new ways to make money. At the moment, these practices aren't really obtrusive to the game experience. Bullstuff yes, hindering no.
It isn't "a few dollars" on the line. It's the ability to pay their employees and keep making games that's on the line.
True, I just found it kinda childish. I'm not against special interestes, hell almost everyone has them in one way or another. I dunno, maybe i'm just too judgemental.
Honestly if you're so open to your special interestes that you're gonna post about them on a forum for a game about building blocks, I would think you guys wouldn't get so buttblasted by an opinion. You're posting your special interest to the WORLD WIDE WEB, you are going to get that one "mean" comment that doesn't come from your hugbox.
But excuse me for being a functioning human being and thinking that wearing diapers and getting loveually pleasured by stuff is a form of degeneracy.
I don't think it would've made a difference on performance because the generation engine works the same way anyway.
probably just looked really weird though
