Everyone wants to make the next Fortnite, GTA, or Destiny.
For the love of God, stop chasing other games. Make your own game and let it stand on its own merits.
It doesn’t have to be a live service. It doesn’t need engagement metrics designed to appease shareholders. It doesn’t need to chase whatever trend is currently making someone else money.
It just needs to be a good game.
Stop trying to replicate things you clearly don’t understand and haven’t been able to reproduce successfully. Have some original ideas, take some creative risks, and make something worth playing on its own merits.

Yea but capitalism demands that number go up and corporate suits are so far removed from the creative process they have no understanding of how it works. I’m sure devs would love to have the freedom to make what they want and let it stand but unfortunately they are trapped inside service to a bunch of fucking dip shits who only see the world through spreadsheets.
