For online competitive games, the developer will patch in a downgrade update when their new game releases. This will make the old game annoying as fuck to play and incentivize people to buy the new game.
>COD does it
>Battlefield does it
>All sports games do it

All alpha and beta tests that are open to the public are simply demos to test server loads. There will not be any meaningful changes between the alpha, beta, and final product on release day.

Butterfree was supposed to be Venonat's evolution

Kojima is pushing to see how much shit he can get away with before Sony drops him like Konami did. He will then retire because no one will be willing to work with him. He will play the victim and claim to have had the best game of all time in development, but had to scrap it.

Xenoblade 3 flopped despite doing better than 2 by all possible metrics

Fromsoftware was lucky in the past, Elden Ring clearly shows that their luck as run out.

Sony was on board with DRM along with Microsoft, but they switched their tune last minute when Microsoft received a ton of flak.

I agree with this.

The Switch HD will come out at the tail end of this gen when sales start to seriously lag. It will still be underpowered and underwhelming.

Demos had a negative impact on sales, that is why they are not as common these days.

Team Sonic was luck with the first three games (+Knuckles).

impossible not to agree with this when i cannot cite a single game in history that was 'saved in the beta'.

squall died on the first disc and the game after that is his imagination

I believe in literally every conspiracy

way back in the day there was a difference between alpha and beta, alpha the game was still rough around the edges and some stuff would actually change, and beta was just testing the servers

That games these days aren’t works of art, but are glorified slot machines/gambling addiction algorithms.

Based and conspiracypilled

That's called 'planned obsolescence' and far more companies beyond just vidya devs do that. And these days they do it very subtly, like how you mentioned.

Obsessed tranny

The "original Lavender Town" syndrome where the Jap kids killed themselves because of the frequency.

Sheperd was indoctrinated.

They should pass him around the industry to different projects, like Glitch did when they hired Keita Takahashi.

He’s got the sauce, man.
