Look at the indie scene flourishing. Factorio just launched a full price expansion and it sold wildly well

I think that zxe meant cheaper and smaller games from big studios, not cheap and small games from small studios and indie devs, these multi billion AAA globohomo megacorp studios releasing smaller and simplier games that do not sell 999 brazillion GOTY edition copies therefore results in loss of profits and layoffs because of the way how they operate as companies and studios. !g*mers

The problem is that those large studios are super inefficient with smaller budget games. They put resources into the wrong aspects.

I fail to see how this is the fault of making smaller budgeted games? The same thing would happen with a large release. The main issue is their poor advertising and not knowing the market which matters when you're a large AAA studio.

It doesn't, it's just that these companies blame the small budget when that isn't the problem.

I bring it up because reddit*rs use this as a reason that AA shouldn't come back. I honestly don't understand why some are against the idea of midbudget games? AA studios have been popping up a lot lately and some of their games are doing well. The average reddit*r only wants Sony goyslop or Nintendo games.

Even smaller games from big studios cost a lot though, relatively, like Hi-Fi Rush was supposedly really popular and the studio still got closed - I doubt it didn't make a profit, it just didn't make enough profit for MS to bother

Apparently it had more to do with Shinji Mikami leaving. Shame because that studio had a lot of talent, but I guess they reformed so hooray?

If I recall the actual reason they don't do this is even the best selling indies don't really sell all that many copies anyway. So in order to justify the dev salaries they spend on a single game they have to make them quite large and gross like a billion in a year if they want to stay afloat. Hence microtransactions and season passes.
