Date: June 7th, 2026 7:39 PM Author: cowgod They blame COVID for the Film situation but it basically dates back to like the 2000s. Millennials didn’t “go to the movies” like it’s nbd. There had to be something to draw them in. LOTR, Star Wars, Batman, Transformers, you name it. Aside from COVID everyone blames 2010s capeshit somehow. It’s obvious it started earlier.
John Carter was a seminal Bomb that was like Disney anachronistically pretending it was the 90s. No one has ever seen it. That’s what happens when you try to just Make a Film. It was utterly foolish. AAA Films have Huge budgets and Teams and need immense grosses to make financial sense imho
90s Films — people would watch them just to do something. So many high af grosses on Films that no one talks or cares about atm. There is no analogue for these:
Ghost ~$505M What Women Want ~$374M Runaway Bride ~$310M Dr. Dolittle ~$294M The Nutty Professor ~$274M Indecent Proposal ~$266M Cliffhanger ~$255M Enemy of the State ~$250M
There’s no analogue for these. Life was just different in the 00s. Millennials were either completely abandoned by society with literally no Ride possible, or focused on OCI. You couldn’t just be a Normal Guy and go to the movies. Every movie theater I’ve ever gone to irl has been like 25% full at most 90% of the time. The last full theater I was in watching a mainstream Film was for fucking Titanic. In the 70s you just drove around in your extremely big car and sometimes went to the movies. Some of this behavior continued into the 90s. To this day, Proles still drive around constantly btw. |

Date: June 7th, 2026 7:27 PM Author: German pumo I kind of hope so- maybe Blizzard will put more resources into a proven franchise like Classic WoW since no one wants to gamble on a new MMO. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5871860&forum_id=2betting#49920967) |

Date: June 7th, 2026 7:47 PM Author: cowgod The endless bombs are making devs more risk averse not less.
I think more of everything converges on mobile tier games. MSFT quietly makes a ton on these. More than from consoles with like 1% the cost.
For some reason gamers think devs are ruthlesss capitalists who “rush” everything. But the games take like 7 years. That’s not “rushing.” Thats just devs being bad at making games. The publishers actually have a lot of patience and risk tolerance. Imho the industry attracts slackers who suck at doing things. |

Thank god I don't have more than a few decades left. There are enough novels and short stories and other literature to keep me occupied for the rest of my life |
