Are we really ready to accept shorter, cheaper games as the new norm? According to Take-Two's CEO, the recent success of Mafia: The Old Country is a clear signal that players prefer bite-sized experiences over the epic journeys we used to cherish. This lazy trend sets a dangerous precedent for the gaming industry—what happened to immersive storytelling and rich graphics? Are we just going to settle for mediocrity because it’s cheaper for the companies? As a lifelong gamer, I’m furious at the idea that we should all just roll over and accept this dumbing down of our beloved medium! Are we really willing to sacrifice quality for the sake of a quick return on investment? This is not progress; it’s a regression. Wake up, gamers! We deserve better! https://kotaku.com/2k-take-two-ceo-zelnick-mafia-old-country-sales-single-player-linear-2000642150 #GamingCommunity #Mafia #QualityOverQuantity #GameDev #TakeTwo
