Yeah, no, I think you're right in terms of, I was reminded by the chat, but also just like thinking through it.
It's like, we forget that Minecraft, I mean, not Minecraft, Fortnite and also Minecraft are just happy accidents.
Fortnite was never a battle royale originally.
Quite literally, it was their moment of like, fuck, we are fucking up right now.
What do we do right now?
We did this thing.
And that was a happy accident right there.
If I'm an investor, if I'm one of the big suits and...
I'm trying to find a game out there and then people are pitching me games and I am gravitating towards the games that are comparing themselves to Call of Duties, Fortnites, Overwatches, and not comparing themselves to weirder, nicher ideas.
I think that that is, that's the wrong direction, right?
If you are focusing on the Call of Duties, the Overwatches, because you're never going to be able to do that in a way that isn't organic, right?
You have to make something new.
You have to go for indie ideas, weird ideas, out there things that are, that is what we're looking for right now.
It's the attention economy.
We need the hooks.
and high guard doesn't have the hooks right you look at it it's like okay it's all these things i like but at the end of the day it is just this mash of everything so it doesn't look like anything new right there isn't one thing that i can grab onto oh my god the character design is so fucking incredible so unique oh my god it has this mechanic that i can i run to my friends say hey you can do gobbledygook with this thing like oh my god i love gobbledygook i wouldn't think that that would exist in a first person shooter right we just don't have those anymore that's sadly the original idea that sadly not sadly
That is the original ideas that are going to make the future of gaming, but sadly, the suits don't see it.
So I totally get your point there.
Yep.
Uh, and now I want to have the larger conversation that I saw some super chats about, uh, JBC super chat says, I don't think marathon is concord to let alone high guard too, but it's bounce bounce rate is very concerning.
