Yeah let's focus on our franchises like Doom and Quake -- by firing half the staff at id.

Sony is on fire, Microsoft is on fire, Nintendo seems to be doing fine by focusing on brands and profit-first hardware; Valve is doing its own thing...Where did everyone else go so wrong?

    $500 million budgets probably. Things are different now. Video games aren't a form of art or interactive storytelling or anything creative. They're simply made to make a profit, that's it. Anything else is just a useful side effect. That's why indie games hit different. People with stories to tell instead of dollars to make. Movies are the same way too.
