    “We need to simplify” indie games are doing just fine. It’s almost like super massive studios take much more money to make games with less replay value.

    And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

    Studios make the games pretty for pre sale hype. Getting people interested without game play.

        Yeah, “most” seems strong now, but there is enough discourse online to say it isn’t uncommon.
