The unfortunate truth is there are likely a lot of very talented developers at most big studios who ultimately don't have a say on what goes into the game.
Many don't turn around and try making a start-up game though, most just burn out of the industry forever.
Ever notice how the best games out there are either indie games or made by ex-devs formerly from a big developer?
Capitalism does away with ingenuity and creativity. Look at the biggest developers, like Ubisoft or Activision or EA, and their most flagship product(s), and you'll see that none of them are inventive in any way, they're all just regurgitated forms of whatever sells.
Played through stray for the first time recently
The game was great, especially for how relatively small the team was, but honestly the reveal of the largest mystery in the game was very underwhelming.
It's still a good game though, I do recommend it.
I can't wait for upper management to stop trying to make games.
Highly recommend Expedition 33. The game play is exactly what I've been looking for in a game, and the story and world are both amazing.
Ubisoft is the sexual abuse place right?
...or is that Activision Blizzard?
...or Rockstar Games?
I mean Ubisoft has probably tens of thousands of ex employees
Stray is such an amazing game. Real work of art. I love how we discover more and more of the story of this world.
I can't wait to play Expedition 33.
Don't forget about Outlast, Astroneer and Sifu!
it isn't Ubisoft to thank, it's the "ex". suddenly not having to waste your life peddling more assassin's gray sludge can do wonders for your creativity.
never knew Stray was made by a ex-ubisoft employee
Meanwhile Ubisoft itself continues to pump out digital slop
Loved stray but with each chapter being so different it was 3 different games to me. Hopefully they make another.
Stray was so mid... If it didn't have cute cats it would have been forgotten instantly.
I was most flabbergasted by the fact that you never hunt anything!! What a miss! How do you make a game where you play as a cat without any stealth stalking of prey??

I love how theres always someone in the comments that's like "this game is so mid" or "this one mechanic in the game is missing"
Stray was fantastic. So was expedition 33. Both of them are objectively good with overwhelming positive reviews.
They were successful in everyway a game can me... But according to some bloke it was "mid". Jesus.
I hate how people think how much they like something automatically qualifys that as an official critique. It doesn't. How much you like it is totally irrelevant!
Stray is Steam only on PC?
