A 9 year old random FPS game. WTF happened to non-shooter games? I am so bored of these FPS variations.
Maybe check out game awards finalists
IMO the vidya gaem awards [0] are far superior to the game awards.

+1. Can’t believe how they held amazing IPs and then milked them to death while lowering the quality game over game. Whether it’s far cry or assassin’s creed, all the later iterations are worse than the series start.
I’m still bitter at them for canceling XDefiant… it wasn’t a COD killer but it filled a comfortable niche and had potential.
Oh wow, they cancelled it?
I played it for a bit on release. Kinda fun, didn't stick with it, but surprised it's already cancelled so short after release.

"Prominent" being sub 1000 views on YouTube?

Maybe you can give a bit of context why you feel that way? Dropping a 2+ hour, <2000 views, 4chan video without context isn’t really the type of comment HN is looking for as far as I can tell

Some very fun indie games I've been playing this past year (lots of early access): - Hexarchy / Rogue hex (Civ-like) - The Last Caretaker - Captain of Industry (factorio-like, was posted here on HN by dev awhile back) - 9 kings - Super Fantasy Kingdom - Manor Lords - Astronomics - Heart of the Machine
Those games have 100x to 500x smaller budgets than the AAA-games. Yes, they often have cute ideas, but, like a blockbuster movie, 99 times out of 100 you need a solid budget to make a solid movie/game.
Wikipedia has a list of the most expensive video games to develop, with a lower limit of $50mil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_g...
The top of the list is Genshin Impact, although it'll probably be displaced by GTA6 soon - that one's estimated to come in at $1.5-2 million. There's multiple FPS games on there but there's some pretty expensive open-world games too.

I think he is saying where is the creativity in the AA+ space. Which still might be a lack of depth / breadth of search, or platform exclusive content. Not everyone can own all the consoles.

#47Hard to have sympathy for Ubisoft the company as they are regularly used as an example of the most anti-consumer practices out there. But the whole situation is a mess, and if anything, it is probably the consumers that will end up suffering the most for this.

#48It's not random bans, the nicknames are words from longer text. It's lyrics from Shaggy - It wasn't me.
The line "How could I forget that I had given her an extra key?" comes to mind. Maybe someone left an API key laying around somewhere? Although I could be giving the hackers too much credit...

Maybe the mongo db exploit from two days ago?

While I understand what you're saying, it's pretty clear what is meant is "$X worth at the price they currently sell for". When there's a story about an object in space made of gold worth 100s of trillians of dollars, nobody believes it would really sell for that much if we captured it and mined all the gold; because the value of gold would plummet based purely on it's existence. But I agree with you that it would be…
and yet, most people use this same measure for market capitalization of companies.
The market cap is unambiguous, a more correct estimate of "how much to buy all the shares?" is situational and would just distract from getting the point across.
