I’m no business graduate but you’d think Nintendo and Xbox who have closed their marketplaces on specific consoles I.e. 3DS market and 360 market.
There are some absolute bangers on there and old games in their possession as well. Since some of those games are still cherished, you’d think they would be helluva easy to profit by re selling or making a super duper old game free!
That would up both their PR and Profit.
I mean sure, there IS emulation, but we’ve all seen Nintendos stance on that clearly and their own product is a bit shoddy at best, subscription seems half baked and the mini consoles were overpriced pi zeros. Looking at you PlayStation Classic.
So how the hell are these giant firms not realising this despite the retro aesthetic of games going up these days?
Games companies don’t make products for your enjoyment, they make value for shareholders. Hope that clears it up.
In fact, you can copy and paste this for pretty much any business large enough to have shareholders.
except valve
Valves shareholders are Gabe, right? So valve does what he wants
I remember Gabe was co-founder. So whoever the other guy is too I guess
