  Didn’t they make 10-100s millions of dollars on this? Pays a lot of salaries for a while.

    According to their careers page, they have about 60 employees. And, knowing japanese game dev salaries, a lot of those devs (excluding senior devs) probably make around 30-50k a year depending on seniority unless it’s a unicorn company.

      Yeah…that changes the numbers. More like 10-20 years to do just about anything.

      Somehow the urgency just drains right out of this for me.

      Iirc they started paying their devs waaaay more after the game sold a ton.

    no line must go up, only up, up now and up tomorrow and the days after too. fire all the devs too, paying them makes line go down.

  Anyone know if The Finals counts as a “live service” game? It’s free to play and I think it’s fantastic - both the game and the fact it’s free.

  I just don’t play games enough to justify the huge asking prices anymore. The last games I paid for were COD MW2 and Cyberpunk and I doubt I’ll ever drop $70+ for a game again, especially when there’s games like splitgate and whatnot that are free (not that I ever tried the new one. lol)

    Yes, it’s a live service game. Most major free to play games are.
