no game company actually out to make money is going to create a game for 100k people when they can, for the same dev costs, create a game for 500k people. it would be dumb business, and no one, NO ONE is such a moral crusader as to do it because "its better gaming" unless they are already rich (carmack). |
There isn't a link between WoW's "casual slant" and box sales, people don't have knowledge of the gameplay until they've bought it. Blizzards
name is the cause of box sales. We need retention rates statistics before we can determine if players like a "casual slant".
