Just because you aren’t buying/playing them doesn’t mean they aren’t making them. Let’s also not ignore the amount of time to develop a game has increased significantly or how gamers overwhelmingly choose to buy games from well-known IP. They are a company and need to pay their employees. I’m not a fan of Nintendo’s litigation practices, but I’m also not a fan of how whiny and bitchy gamers have become. If they aren’t whining and or bitching, they are harassing developers and actors.
The different direction;
No more original IP, and 99% of profits come from litigating against end users.
(It’s the same direction as before, just not including AI yet)
I mean, that direction is extremely lucrative, whereas AI is extremely expensive and totally unproven to be profitable.
