How do you explain this to shareholders?
AAA friendslop when
>>74598548217 April 2026
>>745985312>game cost 60-70 dollars vs game that costs 4 dollarsI love Vampire survivors but people do this all the fucking time, most people got the game for like a buck, no fucking shit it's selling better than whatever hyper-marketed 70 dollar game, even Brazilians can afford this shit
>>745985482AA/indie normal games when?(NO friendslop, gacha, roguelite, roguelike, deckbuilder, survivalcraft)
>>745985530>every sub $5 game sells millions
>>745985672When did I say or even imply that?
>>745985312Man I love fishing
>>745985836here >>745985530
>>745985482That used to be the norm. But narrative heavy cinematic setpiece walking sim 3rd person cover shooter craze of 7th gen basically killed them off.

>>745985312Viral popularity. A million of these games died in obscurity, one became popular (for a week or two).
>>745985312AAA price, platform split, unsophisticated audience
I feel like I saw some demo videos the guy who made "how to fish" posted on here about like a year ago. Good to see that they made something out of it.
>>745985312You don't, Pragmata made more money.
>>745985312forever game with no plot vs game you finish and put downnot really a fair comparison
>>745985482>$80 price tag>unskippable cutscenes>30hr tutorial>yellow paint>centralized matchmaking>rankings>some boomer japanese director
>>745985312they fucked up when they made the cunny a robot
>>745985312One's $8. The other's $60. If you compare ATPs, Pragmata still, by a reasonable estimation, made more money on the same platform. So not even considering console sales where that retarded friendslop game didn't even get a release.
>>745986772does the profit here include the cost of making the game?
>>745985312I forgot PRAGMATA existed, is there any porn yet?
These shitty indie games are completely worthless to me. I only care about AAA movie games so all I played this year was RE9, Pragmata and 007.
>>745985312Its literally all women who play these social games. They just use it to talk

>>745985312>1 USD online coop game>vs 70 USD single player gameSad thing is shareholders are as retarded as tou OP.
>>745987412It sold 2.5 million copies by July. 2,500,000*60 = $150,000,000,000. We don't know the budget of the game, but it was definitely successful. As for How To Make Shovelware, it would've barely made a fraction of that, regardless of development costs.
