Wolfy 2, Mario and The Evil Within are out this month, so no.AAA single players games are basically dead, right?

At least it came out.Lootbox in Shadow of War ain't that bad now huh?
Yeah. Look at Switch's lineup: Mario Kart, Arms, Splatoon. Nintendo is riding the GaaS train high, and will be even higher when they release Smash.
The AAA industry is increasingly leaving me behind, I must accept that at the ripe age of 24 I'm an old man and must depend more and more on indies.
Now I'm worried about Bioware, Respawn and Criterion. Although one could argue Criterion has been dead for a long time now.
Yea people are daft if they think Cyberpunk won't include this stuff as well.
I mean, it's dead if you completely ignore Sony's first party output, Nintendo titles, and indie developers.
Mass market. Your average consumer is the reason why publisher are going with a GaaS model for theirl games.
what the ...
"We had to find a way to add loot boxes"
Nirolak's doom posts hint that Cyberpunk is also an online game due to job postings.
Traditional gaming is dead.

EA is committed to a Titanfall 3 apparently. Now if THAT fails then you should expect Respawn to go into the EA mass grave.
RIP Dead Space
I feel sad... I hope Codecow and all the team were well
Dead Space is a very special game for me, that saga has an important meaning in a special moment in my life...
I send all my support to all the team of Visceral Games
Are people now more convinced that the single player focused AAA game is too expensive for big publishers or do we need more studios to shut down before people realize that?
Sony is about to release a GAAS Gran Turismo. They're getting their feet wet.
Importantly, we are shifting the game to be a broader experience that allows for more variety and player agency, leaning into the capabilities of our Frostbite engine and reimagining central elements of the game to give players a Star Wars adventure of greater depth and breadth to explore.
GaaS up the ass y'all.
You know they did all the space combat stuff for Battlefront 2, right?Criterion?
Note to studios: Don't let yourselves be bought by EA for fucks sake.
Yeah. Look at Switch's lineup: Mario Kart, Arms, Splatoon. Nintendo is riding the GaaS train high, and will be even higher when they release Smash.
Most likely yes.

Sony is the only one left behind, and I'm afraid they are gonna pay for it.

Game costs are skyrocketing and "games as platforms" are increasingly becoming the biggest revenue kings. If you can spend $60 million on a service game that sticks around for 5 years and that allows you to monetize players over the course of those 5 years, versus spending $60 million creating a single player game that requires a one time entry fee and that would require you to create a sequel in another couple of years....these companies are all looking for that lottery ticket.
Spells cost money instead of mana
EA tells employees that the new Star Wars game will be led by someone else and use assets from Visceral's game

Witcher 3 was green lit over 6 years ago. Far before the market changed
Look at the postings for hiring on Cyberpunk. It's going to be an online GaaS title (though I expect a strong single player as well)
There will still be single player games. But they will ALL contain online focused things within them and if they don't then expect lots of MXT's
