10 out of the 12 successful games had big established studios behind them. And only 5 of 19 of the failed ones had big studios behind them.
Having a winning game for a smaller studio is clearly INCREDIBLY hard historically.
*Credit to Embark for creating something fresh with The Finals and locking in a strong core audience.
But I am curious, is the next big comp fps game going to actually break the mold or will it be more of the same?
