    i hate them because they remove anything that makes their games unique and make all their games have the same features until they’re all completely interchangable gray sludge.

      The depressing thing is that this grey sludge is exactly what most people want. It’s the same for any form of entertainment. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is what’s most profitable.

        Ubisoft is the CBS of the game industry.

        Yeah, the problem is that game publishers are trying to reach the broadest audience possible, which means niche games with unique features and gameplay are dying out. Why bother spending millions of dollars on developing a unique game which might not sell well, when you can churn out another open world lite-RPG with grassy stealth spots and counter/parry based combat which you know will sell well.

          Yeah Baldur’s gate 3 and hell divers are both doing terribly

          Minecraft is pretty unique, or was until its imitators appeared and is the most popular game (or is it second to Tetris?)
