I do not assume that occurs. Unbiased video games aren’t being held by AAA Video games at the moment, they’re held by the pure dimension restrict of their very own audiences and their capacity to marketed with the gamers. The overwhelming majority of gamers who cease taking part in Name of Obligation in a AAAapocalypse stage won’t search for unbiased FPS video games to fill that void, since there might be none. They’re going to do one thing else with their time.
These indies that work effectively will develop over time as a result of that’s what gamers usually need: higher photographs, extra recreation, extra content material, greater than all. If these video games wish to proceed rising to satisfy these calls for, they are going to be to pivot in direction of these issues: rent extra builders to construct extra content material, higher photographs, higher applied sciences, and so on. Via the iteration, they finally grow to be AAA Video games franchises by transferring extra in direction of the broader viewers essential to financially assist the franchise with every successive iteration and the everlasting demand for “extra.”
The rationale why AAA video games are nonetheless doing is as a result of there’s a important marketplace for them. As a lot because the terminal gamers will complain about them, there are various individuals who like them sufficient to purchase them at full value and maintain the machine working. I don’t imagine that these gamers who need large content material and big photographs of their video games will flip to the indies, I feel they’ll transfer to those that fill the void with a comparable expertise.
