fact is nothing ever seems to be enough for these companies now.

they will sometimes make a smash hit and proceed to pump it full of microtransactions, then lay off half the staff.

also selling tens of millions of games is unrealistic when the hardware people run them on went through years of terrible availability, and they keep pushing the requirements.

im honestly stumped on what the fuck they are expecting at this point.
