Because unique ideas don't guarantee sales. Even if a generic shooter #5834 sucks, if it's made with AAA budget and accompanying marketing campaign it's practically guaranteed to at least make most of the money spent on it back.

It seems all the innovative games are indie, and then they get a bad rap due to their fanbase, though otherwise being a great game. Yes I'm looking at you, Undertale.

Breath of the Wild is an 11/10 masterpiece.

Great games still happen, its just cheaper to create mainstream games, so the market is saturated with a lot of shit in addition to the really good stuff. You have to weed through tons of inferior. worthless shit to find the gems.

I notice that the four corner symbols on the South Korean flag can be interpreted as numbers, since there's a number system (forget which) that uses stacks of lines and broken lines to count.

But is it actually supposed to be interpreted as numbers?

The same reason most movies are shit today. AAA games are huge business, they cost a ton of money, so they need to sell huge numbers to make a profit, and big name debs are all public companies now, so they're all about making money for the shareholders. Therefore, they tend to take few risks and crank out the same formulaic bullshit because idiots will buy it.

Also, yiff in hell, furfags!

Good ideas, not games.
But compared to what modern game companies put themselves through, such ideas could be trivial to create, so why not gamble on them?
I should try join a 48 hour game jam maybe, it'd be fun! Especially if LAN games were allowed.

>>727622774

Because it's safe, economically speaking.

You might consider it shit, but you gotta think about demographics. Game companies do. And the shit they make usually ends up being a "safe bet" on a return on investment.

More unique games are a riskier bet. Might be a hit, might be a flop.

They're running a business here, remember.

While I'll admit this comic is hot, I still don't think forcing a woman to suck and/or fuck you in exchange for theft of valuables. There are other ways that don't result in her humiliation. That's just me though, I guess. Love the art.

Well, depends what you mean. A whole game? Maybe, depends how big the game is. Fix an issue in an existing game? Depends on tons of stuff, time and resources most importantly. These people aren't usually just sitting on their laurels. They've got schedules, they've got shit to do, and it might be like asking them to make up a week out of thin air.

Scheduling a time for people to work on a side project is the company's responsibility.
I guess big companies may be inflexible though; kind of like how VALVe is bigger than ever, and yet only does one thing now.

Budget? I dunno

>>727622774
Not every unique idea is good.
Not every good idea sells.
The huge budgets necessary to make modern games make companies be unwilling to make risks. It's sometimes more profitable to shit out a garbage game and then dump a few million in promotion to reach to people who can't tell a difference between a good and a bad game.

>>727628045

The reason a good idea wouldn't sell is a lack of promotion.
Good ideas just seem to do badly because they come from people who can't afford promotion.

How dumb do you have to be to think that. Try developing games and you'll see how hard shit is.

>>727622774
Think of it like beer, you have something most like, you're make alot of money of that same beer, why change it and risk not making as much money as the regular beer you drink? Its all about the money with AAA games

That analogy doesn't work at all.
Because games aren't like beer; you can produce a new game for low cost, and still distribute it infinitely.

A good enough idea can be reduced to something trivial to make, enough that compared to Brown Cover Shooter IV the development cost might as well be zero.
Funnily though, that's probably why the good ideas that end up being extremely successful are made by bad devs.
Bad devs need trivial projects, and only good ideas can be reduced to trivial projects while still retaining the potential for success.
