As ever, even if they make acceptable profit… they’ll never make obscene profit. So betting on a high risk, extremely high reward product will always been more attractive.

Lmao the AAA industry does not and has not taken risks in at least 15 years. They exclusively follow focus group and investor trends while turning down any innovation or risk.

Tell that to every publisher constantly flipping a coin on Live Services that are expensive, risky, likely to fail/underperform… but could make them oodles of revenue.

That’s trend chasing lol. They’re just trying to get their own version of things that already exist or if they already have a grade A live service then they create a template from that and apply it to literally everything they touch. They keep failing simply because they are too dumb to understand saturated markets not because they’re taking risks and falling short on something.

That is still explicitly a risk that they at taking. That risk doesn’t conflate to bravery, innovation, or a good idea. It is still a risk they take because either their new service flops and they write it off, or their new service makes crazy amounts of money.
