Solo: A Single-Player Success Story (The Jimquisition)
Added 2018-08-06 13:24:52 +0000 UTCGod of War recently made $131 million in digital revenue. Octopath Traveler is struggling to meet physical demand. These are just two in a long line of successful story-driven games.
But please, game industry, tell me again how nobody wants 'em.

2018-08-07 07:03:29 +0000 UTCWe as a race have enjoyed storytelling for thousands of years. It's not suddenly going to stop becaues some big companies would rather produce sandboxes on a factory line (hello ubisoft) that are easy to fill with paid dlc. I always found it weird to "create demand" when there's perfectly good existing demand for something you already know how to make. I mean I understand the how and why, but the practical part of my brain is baffled.

It would be funny to see a video with a list of game genres/styles, that AAA companies, have declared dead in the last 10-15 years. Plenty to pick from. Just a thought :-)
