Also honestly "two different" audiences, despite some having fears that one would cannibalize the other.
Did I brag?
Compared to Rocksteady previous games it is. If you like repetitive nature of looter shooters then its ok.
The thing is, that overlap will inevitably buy the other after their first preference at either full price or the next small (~10%) discount.
I feel like your post is predicated on this idea that if GAAS games fail then studios will go back to making single player AAA games. The economic realities of game development make that a difficult proposition. Creating a brand new AAA game from scratch these days takes a team of 250-500 people working for 4-5 years with the budgets touching 8 figures. And this is on the lower end of estimates. We've seen games needing up to 1000 people, costing 200+ million dollars and taking even longer. And the thing is, at the end of it all, the game has to be really good because it needs to sell several million copies to make money. That's the big gamble in all of this. If a studio spends all those resources and puts out a game that doesn't sell enough, investors will rightly not want to put in that much money all over again in the hope that they'll get a win after another 5 years. That's the crisis facing the AAA gamedev industry and is why every publisher is looking to find a GAAS hit and generally have continuous monetization from any game they actually put out.
No I don't expect these studios to go back to making SP games as usually by the time things devolve into this point the studio in question is already a shell of its former self due to a ton of key departures over the years. Like bioware right now is going back to SP games and we'll see how that goes but the bioware everyone loved is gone...there's maybe a tiny handful of those people still there. Rocksteady we know is a shell of itself and the founders left over a year ago. We know arkane austin had a TON of turnover due to redfall's development, I'm not sure how many key people are still there outside of harvey smith.
I know this is from Thursday still, but if you want to know why Sony replaced Supermassive, here's the full explanation. SM apparently shopped around an Until Dawn 2 prototype that SIE at least partially funded, which didn't go over well with the Ryan Gang.

Gen 4 was a shoddy remake, but more because it was rushed like hell. With some patches it's... okay, but the art is pretty bleh, on top of new additions being kinda crappy.
I'm really happy about this. I run HDR basically all the time now (either natively or AutoHDR) and even with the improvements in tone mapping the SDR screenshots never really come out right.

They are? All I've seen is people say how disappointed they are
Well some compared it to Agents of Mayhem which I liked a lot, but better.
Was this on the Deck? I remember reading all kind of reports on ProtonDB about this game not working entirely correct.
You need to install media foundation (it is basically downloading zip file, launching script, copy dll file to game folder and add launch argument in Steam). After that it works without issues. i run game at max settings, 1920x1200 resolution and got locked 60FPS (i dropped it to 50FPS just to save on battery a bit).
Basically this.
I can't possibly understand why people are upset because more people can play a certain game. More sales means more chance for a sequel.
Do you remember what happened when Horizon Zero Dawn got announced for Steam? Console Warriors aren't known for their reasonable takes

I am lol. Wouldn’t pay $70usd for it but the gameplay is fun, wish there was more mission variety though
There's still time to avoid making this mistake lol. Don't listen to places like official threads those things are always circle jerks at launch* and people reassuring themselves that they didn't just burn $70-$100.
