That doesn’t really happen though what happens is-
-
MS buys one of the biggest older players, then changes whatever direction they were going in, to their ‘new hotness’
-
MS kills the company they bought after being way too late to market, and everyone has already chosen the cool product

‘They are’
It’s usually measured as the performance doing a floating point multiply-add (fma) - that’s it.
But also, multiply then add is the cornerstone of 3D graphics…

Yeah I feel that, I didn’t like Horizon 5 due to that, I don’t want to be a superstar out of the gate, let me buy a clapped out mazda demio first.

Do you want themed racing games in different time periods?
If you’re using realworld(or alikes) cars, there isn’t really much more to go for, you’ve got circuit, street, rally, drift and touring cars - which really the only thing you can start to really differ is locale or time period.
F1 is F1 and F1 fans will slaughter anyone who tries to mess with F1. But also there are yearly games, since the rules change every year and the new game is the new rules.
Do you want more arcade style?
What are the indie games that have piqued your interest?
- Comment on An Update from PlayStation Studios (Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios are closing) 3 weeks ago:
Nothing to say they won’t - it’s actually pretty uncommon for the studio developing a live service to be the one supporting/maintaining it long term.

It must be nice to be so rich you can afford so many 8 hour games though.
- Comment on 'It Has Plateaued': Should We Be Worried About Console Gaming's Future? 4 weeks ago:
That’s what the publishers keep saying, because it distracts from the real issue. (also- 3D artists, 2D artists and graphics programmers aren’t doing gameplay systems…)
The real reason is the monetization of play, if they make things too fun, you’ll keep playing some osingle player game instead of their expensive live service titles.
They make everything bad to try and prop up those live services.

- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
Also to be fair (and critical), while Sean lied to both Sony and us about the state of the game-
They also probably did have most of everything they promised at once point, then the Christmas Flood happened. That’s when the lies started and but those lies were likely more for Sony rather than us, as it’s entirely possible Sony would have outright cancelled the game if they’d known how much was actually lost in the flood.
Instead they released what they could in the time they had left then just kept plugging away at it post release.

- Comment on Payday 3 developer likens launch to being a rock band when "the whole stage collapses and everyone leaves" 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s more like being a Rock Band, having 2 wildly successful albums then going in a another direction with a completely new, different sound for the third album, then wondering why no one bought it.
Many such cases. (Videogames and Music)

- Comment on Alien: Isolation sequel in early development, with original director returning 1 month ago:
Does it have to be a sequel to Isolation?
Can it not just be another self-contained story in the universe?
I love the game, but it doesn’t really need a true sequel.
