>>43808797That's such a disingenuous argument though. Just because something makes money by no means makes it good. You could argue it's a good business decision to figure out the minimal effort needed before it starts to effect sales figures, but that doesn't make the game, franchise, or anything else good.
Yes, it's primary demographic is kids (even if they pander specifically to adults as well) but that's no excuse for a bad game. They'll accept anything you hand them. Which, I'm sure you'll argue means 'It's okay for them not to put effort in then, because kids don't care, and they'll still get money.' That again, doesn't make a good product.
I don't know why you would argue that it's okay for them not to put effort because they'll make more money this way, when it's not like them making more money somehow also gives you more money. You're literally licking their boots, either for brand loyalty or just to piss off people that didn't like SWSH.
It's like Walmart. I don't know a single fucking person that actually likes Walmart, but they still shop there because they're forced to (either because of their budget or a lack of other stores in their area.) They're a shitty company with shitty practices that screws over employees and customers, but they don't care because they'll make a profit anyway, since there is no real alternative.
Are you really going to lick the soles of someone shoe's just because their company makes money by caring so little about it's consumers? I can't wrap my head around the idea of, "Yay! I'm glad they're making great business decisions that increase profits while screwing people like me over in the process! As long as they get money, I'm happy!"
