Twinfinite: “It seems Final Fantasy XV is done for after Hajime Tabata has resigned. And honestly, I'm actually relieved. It was high time Square Enix moved on.”
PlayStation boss believes that $80 games are affordable due to the value they provide. Using Mario Kart as an example, he noted that it offers numerous hours of gameplay with just one purchase.
I get the concept.
People buy movies for $20-$30 dollars that offers only a couple of hours of enjoyment.
While games offers 3-10+ times the amount of hours and content.
So in theory yeah I get it.
But I will never accept it and would rather keep the price now or even better PS360 price lol
The value of an $80 all-you-can-eat buffet is undeniable, making it curious why some people choose a $20 restaurant for a single, standard meal.
In a similar vein, movies, despite their higher production costs for a two-hour experience, outperform video games in revenue while also being priced around $20. Suggesting that video games need 100 hours of diluted gameplay to compete seems like a misdirection. The real solution might lie in re-evaluating how their core offering is valued.
Lol so rich people want to speak for my wallet now? I still haven’t adapted to 70$ yet, and not planing on to. I don’t mind waiting on sales.
TNS: Based on its most recent ESG data, Nintendo boasts a remarkably low staff turnover rate of just 1.9%, with virtually no reported layoffs.
Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.
Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.
And you make profit off of outdated hardware.
I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.
This should make fans attending the ahow event happier as Bandai Namco is bringing some interesting game experiences to the convention.
True! It's time to concentrate on KH3,FFVII:R,new ip's & hopefully FFXVI.
Lets just be thankful he won't have any influence for FFXVI
Now can we go back to turn based please, it's still popular they just need to update it.
Old Fantasy setting, no modern or Sci-Fi stuff, classic roles for characters, airship gained during the story not after.
Good luck trying to regain the trust of the fans after this.
FF XVI need to one hell of a complete experience. Well, they have FF VIIR first so. Soon 5 years in development.... GG Square Enix
No more D1 buys from me with any SE games. Prices of their more popular franchises/published releases plummet so far these days!
I really wish they would have finished the damn game.
