    I raised the issue that if you want companies like CDPR or Bethesda to keep aiming high and investing 300+ million dollars you have to expect them to try and make their money back as soon as possible or as much as possible over time. 300 million is a HUGE gamble, especially on a video game. So they might rush to launch because the budget is running out, or the game wont be great until it has 2 or 3 expansions or at least a few large patches admittedly I have less sympathy for microtransactions or subscriptions but then thats on the players if they want to support that.

    If they are really aiming for groundbreaking, massive, revolutionary… the gaming community needs to tone down the immediate rhetoric or we will just see more and more recycled “it always makes money” Marvel movie type shit.Madden77, Halo 26 and Battlefield 63…
