They aren't selling because they are designed as money machines first and games second.
Do I get to be the next Tim Sweeney now? As far as I can tell the bar is pretty low.
They could make so many moderate games that would sell amazingly if they just tried to... Make games instead of casinos. But no, profits must only go up, can't have a flat year with only great success - they have to outdo themselves financially every year and squeeze everything

100%. That's the kind of nuanced thinking you won't get from corporate America at this point.
Can't have 5 semi good games that sell pretty well, can't only be moderately profitable! Have to shoot for the moon, have only 1 game that we bet the whole farm on!
You have to sue every single storefront first as well and go cry to the press that companies don't want to do business with you when you break their ToS.
Actually I just need to stop buying garbage (which I have done). The power sits with the purchasers in this case.
Well, then you can't be the next Tim Sweeney :(
Wait i thought you had to go over the bar, not straight into it
