I love stories in my games, and I consider myself largely a singleplayer gamer in every respect. Alan Wake felt like a weak story overall since the majority of the game runs off of a veritable stack of cliches and obnoxious logic leaps. They concocted so many progressively more outlandish reasons to keep putting your…
You’ll never convince me my 7-8 hours of playing Alan Wake was of any value. It felt completely pointless and devoid of meaning, not to mention the 1049th time I dodged a hatchet thrown from god-knows-where it just felt like they didn’t have any real ideas to bring to the table.
Instead, companies should focus more on developing good games that people actually want to pay for.

Correction: SIE America gave up on it. Japan still has it going very strong.
Generally speaking yes, but I am going to have to stop you on that since the initial statement here directly conflicts with that.
Although I’m by trade a science and factually-driven engineer, it’s arrogant to believe that our version of science and facts is somehow never going to evolve. As scientists and engineers, we have theories, which exist to be refined or to be disproved. Just because we think we know everything about something doesn’t…
It’s a feature of the series in general.
No one is worried about getting verbally hit on the internet. It’s easy to ignore that. Developers are definitely worried about people taking it offline.
Well, the point is that the contract defines a methodology of payment. If you’re extremely dodgy (which few are since you can spot that trouble from a long ways off), you can get around that by paying developers in some unorthodox ways. If the developer is primarily paid in bonuses, for example, then it was never…
They’ll be paid what they are owed by whoever holds the debt in the future, it’s in the employee’s contract that they have to be paid. The question is when and how long will it take to pay it out fully.
They work hard, so more people pay
It depends on the type of bankruptcy laws that exist in the country where they are and which ones they use. In the US, the primary way to go is either Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In Chapter 11, your company is forced to undergo significant restructuring, but you’re able to retain near complete control of your…
It isn’t. It’s on the record that VR is an optional feature in the game.

Just here for the Ace Combat 7.
Typically systems like that can be very embedded into the game’s engine, and sometimes the game has a dependency on certain features that the service provided (e.g. user information, settings, etc). Combine that with the likelihood that all of the original developers have either moved on, completely forgot about how…
Now that’s how we do it.
