It seems like the AAA publishers don't know what to do with that type of mid-budget game that was the staple of the 2000s generation.
Spend a bit of money (not crazy much), make something fun with a bit of originality, and just put it out for sale. No complex monetisation strategy or pipeline to funnel people to subscriptions. We give you money, you give us game.
You don’t understand our entire society is shifting to an even greedier system to push a couple dimes extra at the cost of major quality. The enshittification era is coming or is already here.
It's at least a century old problem imho. In the 1950's clever capitalists where already looking for ways of "Instilling in the buyer the desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary". I can't believe how often I've had to buy a new fucking toaster. It just keeps getting worst.
