There will never be another Nintendo, Capcom, Konami because young people have zero interest in building empires.

You mean empires that you have to have been born into and inherited or obtained through backstabbing everyone you know and turn into a soulless misanthropic greed filled troglodyte who only cares about money. Yeah I can see how some people who might not be interested in that

The problem here is that develpping only one game at a time is putting all of your eggs in one basket. If the new release they worked on for years flops, with no other games in the pipeline, they'll be in deep financial trouble.

Capcom and Konami all went to shit when they went from studios driven by passionate game designers flexing their creative muscles to suits wanting to make money no matter what.

How can they make a game without 1000 HR employees ballooning the operating costs?
>>
>>727731472
Capcom almost killed themselves, DMC 5 and RE 2 remake saved them.
Konami doesn't make AAA games anymore, they said. They are pachislot company now
Nintendo is greedier than ever.
They are not good metrics at all

>>727731472
This isn't sustainable. They need 100 blue haired women and 1000 indians.

Retarded take. The goal should not be to create this headless blunder that's hard to control.

Look at Gabe Newell and Valve. One man, private company, strong vision and direction. Then you groom potential proteges. This is how you run a company. You don't go public and put it in the hands of money hungry people all thinking they know how to do shit they clearly do not. Infinite growth and expansion is not obtainable.


>>727732130
E33's budget was sub 30 million IIRC. I'm going to assume this includes everything such as labor/staff cost. They made 120+ million. If they turn around and do this again, keep budget under 30 million, take another 6 years on the next project, etc. Even if they fail and sold ZERO, they can sustain themselves for at least a couple of more projects. Here's the thing, though. They clearly have talent. So it's not the same as putting all your eggs in a questionable basket. It's more like putting all your eggs in a steel container with shock absorption. Could it fail? Sure, but it probably won't.

I would concur with perhaps having two projects on-going, but they are sustainable for a couple of decades at the moment.

Good, that's what they get for 7 years for a glorified DLC of a game that's a generic metroidvania for twitter freaks.

What's the point of making an empire when you're just gonna get bought up by Disney or Microsoft?
>>
The world where Empires are built is dead and the Empires from it are dying shells of themselves. It's much better to have independent teams because in honesty that's what made the Empires of Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami and the companies simply housed them. But now those companies don't want to pay any of those people back for their work and will snuff them when it seems "opportune" then wonder why their next batch of games is shit.
>>
>>727731472
Those companies like all empires were good for about a short time before turning into shit and eventually fade off unless you're as rich as Nintendo or a Chinese dynasty.
