Hey everyone.

This is an impromptu rant I made about wtf are we even talking about with success these days.

I was just browsing videos when I came acrossed a video from inside gaming.

I was kinda stunned by how badly the video was made, and how many points were either wrong, or just straight up insane.

Arc Raiders made at least $500,000,000 on a budget of $75 million. That’s a wild success anywhere in the world, but since it wasnt an inginite CS2 level success it’s called a failure multiple times.

How are we even measuring success anymore?

    Fair enough!

    For me it’s a bit harder personally.

    Having a 10 hour experience like the original last of us is still worth I’d say, $50 to me where it might not be to someone else.

    I have 600 hours in Arma 3 so the cost to dollar ratio is great, but I also definitely value a good story as well.

      if I used Arma or DayZ as the baseline for entertainment/dollar ratio, nothing would ever be considered fun hah, I should actually boot up DayZ or Arma, it’s been a bit.
