This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And the market proves it's true.

How in the hell is EA still not dead?

Many studios produce barely acceptable shit, yet people buy it in droves.

Sports games

The same reason there aren't bear-proof trash cans. There's a lot of overlap in intelligence levels between people and bears

EA is a publisher that goes against that, bad publisher to use as an example

I don't know what you mean.

Every sports game is barely an asset flip, sometimes even with wrong years.

Most recently Split Fiction would be an example of not trend chasing

Unraveled, Fe, the rest of Hazelight’s games, Knockout city

The Sims and the sports games also aren’t trend chasing

Sims and sports games are just rehashes.

Or re-releases.

And every AAA studio will slowly stop investing into new IPs.

Seems to be the basis for 90% of the economy at this point.
