Failures are not memorable, that's why we can't remember them. What you describe are a bunch of big money makers from the big publishers. It's very easy to stear around them and still get more great games than there's time to play them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dukemirage@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) The big money makers are Fortnite, yearly iterations of CoD and EA Sports titles, and mobile gacha crap. They overshadow „smaller“ AAA releases, which still mostly don’t have any mtx. Your examples are legendary. But do you remember any other flop on the 2600? Or games like Haze? Now forgotten like most other flops. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) To be fair, there wasn't really much "gaming news" in existence back then.
