    When are publishers going to realize there is only a market for like 2-3 Live service games at any one time?

    You cannot underestimate the stupidity of games publishers. I’d be willing to accept that sunk-cost alone is the explanation for this outrageous budget. It probably started out as “what’s $200m for the next Fortnight?” and just went in $5 or $10 million dollar increments from there.

      Everyone thinks they will have their own Apex, a game so good it could still carve out it’s place among the established behemoths.

      I don’t understand why they don’t wait till the other ones die, like look at how successful marvel rivals beta was.
