Message: [QUOTE="Opapete, post: 114483, member: 15716"] Just a small note, the 8th gen had far less of the budget and time problems, they still had them, sure, but not every game was some kind of Driv3r situation where it straight up has to sell multiple million to break even. I blame 9th gen gaming for that as a whole, we as the players didn't recieve much in terms of better gameplay or even better graphics (graphics got worse even, but that's more a UE5 and optimisation issue), but we are expected to shell out more money for new hardware, more money for the games and more storage space than ever before, all for a very marginally better product. (that typically isn't even better) Of course these issues aren't exclusive to the 9th gen, but only now do we really see them this prominently. Also, most of the times, the budget isn't going to the developers but to the corporate suits and the marketing, just as an fyi. [automerge]1741189575[/automerge] Also also, very true. You used to be able to actually unlock things in games by playing the game like a normal person, now, it's all microtransactions and dlc. I mean really, if SSF2T was made today, Akuma would be a 5€ dlc instead of an secret character. And the point about the actual full game being more so 100-120€ is valid and this is very much a big plague on triple A right now, again, day 1 dlc is fucking absurd and locking 20% of the game behind an extra purchase at launch is stupid.
