The canceled Battle Royale mode for Halo Infinite could have been a "game changer" for the series, according to a former developer.

This is an example of what I have been saying: their isn't enough real talent in the industry.

Can you explain what you say in the article that supported your point.

"Clopper shared his belief that the Battle Royale mode for Halo Infinite could have been a game changer for the franchise."

Battle Royale games are creatively bankrupt. The former dev. isn't creative enough to see why something like this needed to be cancelled and probably should have never been started in the first place. These are the same people getting hired to do mediocre things.

There would be fewer games if only the actual creative people were making them.

“There would be fewer games if only the actual creative people were making them.“

Actually, I think there would be (far) more games, if only the no-nothing suits would just trust the creative people to do their thing and allow them to take risks, instead of just going for big pay-off bets on industry buzzwords.

I miss the days of the big companies just going with a combination of smaller and medium-sized games across different genres, like old EA which was pumping out stuff like Def Jam, NBA Street, Timesplitters, Burnout, Fight Night, SSX, etc. Not going for mass-market appeal, but just trying to make cool original games in diverse genres across the board.

It seems the suits don’t like those ‘risks’ any more.

It's a numbers thing not an opinion. Look up how many games were made in the past 5 years and then compare it the 90s.

I honestly would've loved a Halo BR... maybe in the next game
