Look at todd howards face...They want to run in the $$$$ race with the rest of the companies...
It's not enough anymore to make a good product and get a great profit...
All these gaming companies now want to pinch every amount of cent out of their playerbase. No matter if the game is fun or not.
As the playerbase continues to pay, they will se is as positive reinforcment.
That saying "It would be irresponsible for me to leave that much money on the table"
It's a stupid idea IMO. Gaming will crash pretty soon. I'll give it 2025 max...
Everybody wants to be the next WoW or GTA....
GTA worked because it built its offline game series and took all of what it was and made it online. You can't BE another GTA just by copying their money making plans...They were there for the poor man who could afford one game GTA III and it had HIGH REPLAY VALUE!!!
The sad thing is now, since they are making billions still there will be no GTA 6 any time soon. As the other saying goes
"If it aint broke don't fix it"
Humans are slow to change when they are benefiting from doing almost nothing.
Just like skyrim....my most hated TES game...
YOU WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WOW!!!
WOW was the pioneers, it was something fresh to the MMO scene...those days of being wow or replicating their business practices ARE OVER!!!!
Yet ZoS still has a Hadron to try it though...Slowly turning their game into junk.
All of this to please their crybaby give me money share holders who are the epitome of what human greed can ruin.
