Irrational Games is "Winding Down"

[FAST6191]

I disagree, the people who buy games are just as fickle as the people who buy movies or music. It's the entertainment industry....in terms of investment an AAA game has nothing on a AAA Movie

On the first part was that not what I said?

As for the other

GTA5 -- 265 Million USD

Last Hobbit film -- 250 Million USD

Now we can probably debate the relative spread of budgets, though I should mention the likes of the Red cameras have done all sorts of good things in the 100K budget film range.

You said it was a luxury goods market, it's not really, its the entertainment market. I was just saying, if companies treat games like luxury goods then its a problem lol.

Ah, we may have a subtly different definition of luxury goods then. I dare say we were heading towards the same goal though.

That seems like kinda an abrupt decisions. Staking the hearts of a few good franchises that could have been... milked a bit more if you ask me. Not that I really care, because I'm sure I wont get around to playing much of their stuff anyways, but still.

Why not. Games turns into such a media as Movies, and you never to old for a Movie?
