Or maybe don't make expensive games.
The AAA market seems to be chasing a business model that isn't there any more. I don't know why game developers still chase photo realism, it isn't what makes money.
Yeah they always ask "Why won't people pay $100 for our video game?" and not "How about we DON'T spend $100,000,000 making ONE video game?"
Remember when Microsoft burned $500,000,000 and still couldn't make a decent Halo game
