Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money"

I think the studios have been forcing it a lot in hopes of hitting the jackpot of the next big major game.

Rather I preferred when they made cornucopia of “risky” me ideas and lower budgets.

There are too many cooks in the kitchen as for example over 3,000 people work on call of duty. (From Google did not fact check further) I don’t understand how you could get that many people to work without deviation from the directors initial idea.

Is it even possible to hit jackpot with a fortnite clone when – y’now – fortnite exists?

  Fortnite essentially got popular cloning PUBG so it doesn’t hurt to try?

  Yeah sure, just do the gimmick better or introduce your own “fun” gimmick.

  I guess we will see very soon with the release of Arc Raiders…
  
  (According to IGN it’s a Fortnite clone pretty much because you have a pickaxe and it’s TPS.

Gotta be different, but the same.

It’s a small target to hit but for some reason that’s all they want to aim at.
