In reality, I am sure that the executives making financial decisions have no clue what a quality game is.
They see a game that sells well and that is what they consider quality.
Once a studio sells out to a larger one there should be no expectation of future quality or innovation from that studio. The studio’s new mandate becomes “make more of what sold and don’t change anything” which is pretty much a coffin for that franchise.

Nintendo has a very reliable and steady amount of high quality AAA and AA games that they make for their console.
Sony used to have a very reliable quality AAA and indie games on their console.
Microsoft had Halo and Forza.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says "YouTube monetizes Xbox better than we do", ahead of expected layoffs | Satya Nadella bemoans performance of Xbox 5 days ago:
Microsoft sees quality that someone else made and it buys it. It works for a bit but they don’t know how to perpetuate quality.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says "YouTube monetizes Xbox better than we do", ahead of expected layoffs | Satya Nadella bemoans performance of Xbox 5 days ago:
Xbox was never meant to make anything of quality. Xbox was just a Trojan horse to trap customers into a Microsoft walled garden.
A bunch of greedy no talent monopolists whose only skill is using a lot of money to buy out competitors are running Microsoft.

B2 was offered to multiple publishers and Nintendo showed up at the 11th hour to save the game from being cancelled. Setting up the Bayonetta series as a Nintendo exclusive mostly because everyone else was willing to let it die.

Will this be another Bayonetta 2 situation?

I bet she’s great in bed. Her level of insanity should have been confined to a bedroom and not been allowed to wield power of any kind.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
The game are not long. The games have serious pacing issues because they’re artificially stretching a well paced classic well beyond what the story can support.
People didn’t finish it b cause they were bored to tears.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
You’re just picking out notable exceptions. The vast majority of the 70-90% games are truly forgettable and forgotten a month after release.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
They already failed. FF7R is like Fast is at the Furious 9 part of its lifespan. Just overindulgent slop.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Review scores reflect the production quality of a game more than the actual quality of the game design. That’s why every piece of crap game from a AAA publisher gets a 7 or 8 out of 10 but a masterpiece can get a similar score just because they don’t look as fancy.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
3-4 million less sales according to resetera. Losing 30% of your customers in the mid-point of the story is rough.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Intergrade have sold 8.7 million units as of March 2025, according to Eurogamer. With the Switch 2 and Xbox ports, I won’t be surprised if it is between 9 to 9.5 million units at the moment.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has sold 4 million units on the PS5, based on what we heard from Alex Donaldson back in August 2024, and anywhere from 700k- 1 million units on Steam, according to Steamdb, but take these numbers with a grain of salt. It could be anywhere from 5-6 million units, but we can’t know for sure until we get numbers from Square Enix.
I’m sure the third one will also have ridiculously inflated review scores.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I am rooting for its failure after seeing the level of quality in their final product. It is overly ambitious but they didn’t have the talent to actually write well or make any of the new content an improvement over the original.
SquareEnix is just existing because an MMO is keeping them afloat.
- Comment on Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN | Official Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I hope the combat and movement improve over the original. Everything felt slow and rigid.
Also, writing was very low tier but that comes a distant second to the combat and movement.
- Comment on FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION - Reveal Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I’m guessing that it will sell even less than the second one. By far the worst and most disrespectful remake this generation.
- Comment on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis - Release Date Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I’m waiting for the grizzled old version of Lara Croft with giant saggy titties still raiding tombs in her late 50s with modern plastic surgery face.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 3 weeks ago:
I enjoyed the game but it frankly proved that motion controls create a constant hindrance to smooth play sessions.
I never want to recalibrate my controller when I’m playing. I want to play and not be the console’s tech support.

But have you heard of live service games? Gamers will continually pay for a 10-hour game with mechanics designed to trap lonely people with compulsive addiction issues for 5000 per year. Imagine all the billions that we will make from those

- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 4 weeks ago:
Games are not losing attention. AAA publishers have been copy/pasting the same game for 2 decades.
Their greed made them risk averse.

The people telling me how fun it is don’t spend $15. They spend 4,000 in one night. They always have stories about all the money they won but they always seem to work the same job as me instead of being professional gamblers.

Every degenerate gambler I know tells me that it’s fun. Every single one tells me that the reason I don’t like Vegas is because I don’t like having fun.

I know that I have a lot of problems. A therapy bill will just be one more and it’s not going to undo the previous problems.
Understanding how and why I’m fucked up is not the same as not being fucked up.
