This is after they fucked up their SpyXFamily collaboration with street fighter and made Yor look like her face was shoved into a cement mixer
I wouldn't be surprised if this war on modding is because modders are more skilled than their staff and closer to reality than their staff and they're mad it's so telling.
That's true but I'd argue the 'lost profits' of modders making dlc less desirable is outweighed by modders keeping a game alive BEYOND it's original life expectancy.
Let's be honest, pre Fallout 76, ALL of Bethesda's previous titles would've died off a lot longer ago without the active modding community. Skyrim and NV might be an exception to a degree but both those titles would've not been as popular without the modders. You can't sell microtransactions to a dead game which we're seeing with Starfield how right that is.
Counter argument: Street Fighter is not of a genre in which modding keeps the game going, especially not cosmetic modding. It'll be kept alive because SF7 doesn't exist yet and nothing else has come along to dethrone it in the meantime and ideally because it'll have gameplay that's deep enough to keep the community engaged and developing new tech. Bethesda's titles are good examples of the point you are trying to make, whereas fighting games are an atrocious example.
Good counter argument as not into fighting games (just don't have the muscle memory for it) but it does seem from and outside perspective capcom is not putting that much effort into their franchises anymore at least aesthetically.
Is there a balance as with other genres where the gameplay can only carry a title so much before the asthetics ruin any incentive to play it?
Yeah, fighting games are simply a total anomaly when it comes to the industry, it’s basically the only genre where current DLC practices are actually an improvement over what used to happen.
I think this is part of what was going on with their weird Hyenas title that flopped so hard.
That's actually a perfect example as they got bitch slapped HARD by Sega after for wasting their money that they did massive staff cuts.
This locust mentality has burned most of the good will out of the industry and the only ones left are niche studios and titles to a certain audience, and Nintendo. Seriously if another gaming crash happens, Nintendo are going to be a record two time champion of surviving a dying industry.
