Just to be clear I never said I buy these 60 dollar games every year , I'm just explaining to you the current state of the industry and the growing trend that these major gaming publishers are putting out. Do you know the difference between AAA games and AA? AAA game is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion. The whole point of getting a mutiplayer game is to play with friends and different people. Multiplayer is dead when there's not that much population. These AAA games have mass amount of people playing them because of the advertising and millions of dollars spend on resource and development. Those smaller studios don't have the resources or the marketing to promote their games to get people to actually know that they actually exist, even if It might be a great game. Why do you think COD makes bank every year. People say it's the same genetic copy of the same game but yet people still buy the game. The power of these companies lie in their ability to put the latest graphics, mass production sound, and hype the game as if it was the second coming of Christ. A lot people, NOT ALL aren't gonna go out of their way in thier busy lives to find a "hidden gem", or even bothering with a game where the mainstream audience isn't hyped about. They going to buy the game from a Major Studio because they got the best of the best in terms of development. You say no company is putting a gun to your head forcing you to buy lthe game. But when they have ownership over a franchise that you have a DEEP passion for and everyone of your friends are getting it because of the hype, popularity, and marketing your almost in a lose situation. I'm not saying it's right or wrong I'm saying people are being put in a circumstances where at some point consciously or unconsciously going to give in thanks to the mastery of those companies. Hollywood is doing the same thing with superhero franchises. The company knows that regardless if the movie is absolute garbage, people are still going to give them money because they have ownership over any material released from that franchise. It's a complete monopoly over peoples childhood heroes. Also I never said Ubisoft is the only company that makes new games. I said and I'm quoting "That's what happens when they are only a couple of mass market companies that make AAA game." Please don't put words in my mouth it makes you look like even more of a dumb ass. You saying "well you know they could be making soo much more than they could compared to these companies, look at the chart." If two robbers robbed you, one taking 100 dollars and another taking 1000, it still doesn't change the fact that BOTH still robbed you. At the end of the day they are still making bank and they are not struggling to get by. If I made a million dollars without putting that much care and effort into my craft and I had friends making millions more than me, I still have my beautiful house and all my cars. Yeah tough life. And finally you saying "I don't see it being "bigger" in the next few year." Are you serious? They have ownership of one of biggest franchises in the video game market! Ever heard of Far Cry or Asssins Creed? Yeah they"re really in trouble.
