I don’t think developing a new PvP shooter is a viable business, particularly if you take 8 years to do it. And if you expect people to shell out a lot of cash up front when the successful competitors are mostly free.
A single player game can succeed if you do something remarkable in terms of graphics, story, gameplay, etc. Not necessarily all of them but some of them. A PvP game has fewer factors you control (less story) but requires absolutely that you create a two-sided market of players —- it’s like saying you’re going to make Facebook in 2024. Even if the base game was better than Overwatch 2 or Fortnite it would a struggle, but the fact that they wanted to make another hero shooter proves they don’t have the vision or creativity to make something better. Is that toxic positivity?
