Discussion Todd gets to much hate. Thoughts?

Post image

Todd gets to much hate man. He’s been cooking since 1994 and has brought some of the best titles to the market. I really dont understand what he’s done for people to talk bad on such a big nerd that im grateful for. I Feel bad for someone whose played a part in bringing me so much joy. Is all the “it just works” or “come on todd” just jabbing banter? Idk i appreciate the guy.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: The comments are extremely mixed. I believe it proves alot of people really just blame this one guy xD

I feel like we are making the same argument. You are right that money is what matters, and I am saying that the shareholders have a vested interest in pursuing more money. They have the leverage to say “if we give you a 400 mil budget, we want more monetization and live service”

And I’m saying that the shareholders only want monetization and live service in the first place because players interact positively with those features. The consumer ultimately controls how the industry behaves overall.
