How dare they make games that are not catered towars mainstream dude-bro who prefer big budget over the top action shooter.
With all due respect, people like you are sad, all you see is sales and money. Making something great and niche is a ''wasted business potential'' to you.
There are people in Capcom who are actually passionate about making unique, atmospheric horror games, they are the developers and the artists, they don't care how much money the game will make just so the higher up selfish fucks can celebrate the profit it generated. You know how I know? Cause I met a couple of them outside Shibuya station earlier this year.
This might be shocking for people like you, but there are developers who actually want to make great, unique and special games, there are people who makes games they want to make regardless of how it's gonna sell.
Seriously though, why do I even bother? People like you will never understand anyway, Shadow of the Colossus is probably a waste of investment in your eyes too, because it is noo niche, too different and sales are simply unimpressive at release.
I hope to god people like you don't work at the gaming industry. People like you squash other's dream in favor of profit.
''at the expense of pleasing critics and horror fans.'' what a loathsome post this is.
