This is exactly what I was trying to say earlier this week.
When looking purely at launch engagement Highguard did as well or better than any game like it can reasonably be expected to reach.
If Highguard's launch couldn't even buy the team a month to figure it out what are even doing here.

Unsure if my mildly provocative headline here perfectly communicates my point, but my intent is just to dislodge the idea that the baseline level of success a new FPS can expect is anything more than what Highguard has seen. Budget and time-spent don't seem to change the equation.
Highguard didn't flop
Most games aren't massive hits, but publishers, developers, and investors remain exceedingly hopeful that they'll be the exception.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

He has said this about every election since 2016, has always been heavy-handed in implying he will under no circumstances concede. An aspiring dictator from the beginning, he hardly ever pretended to believe in democracy. I’ll never understand why so many people averted their eyes from the obvious.

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

This week, Take-Two Interactive shares are down more than 20% despite the company smashing Q3 estimates and reaffirming a November release date for Grand Theft Auto VI.

To be clear, this is not a referendum on the quality of AI content. Markets are spooked because they believe tools like Project Genie will allow anyone to generate a video game. This is not actually possible. If you are a trader and would like to pay me 10 million dollars to explain why, hmu

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels
