神鬼寓言:传奇

Earlier this week, Lion Head Studio suddenly announced the closure, which made many people confused.As an old studio with a certain history, its closure makes many people feel sorry, but this also implies that there may be big problems inside the studio.Otherwise, who will close such a famous studio?

Earlier this time, Wedbush Securities analyst, Michael Pachter, frequent players in the game industry interviewed the media, and talked about the closure of Lion Head Studio. What does this mean?It is three feet of freezing for a day.

Pachter said: "This is a large -scale studio produced by a small game." Speaking of this, I have to insert a mouth. "God Ghost Fables" is by no means a small game for Microsoft."Extreme Racing" and "God Ghost Fables" are the first exclusive housekeeping brands in Microsoft.

"I have read a data, I do n’t know if it is not accurate. It is said that the full series of" God Ghost Fables "has only 7 million sets, and the three games are added. This is by no means an excellent result. So it can be said that this is a business operation.The high-cost large team, but did not make works with the corresponding sales scale.Make money well ""

In fact, it is not only Lion Head Studio who exists in this problem, but many Microsoft's first teams have high investment and low returns.

"Rare Studio is almost the same. In fact, I think that Microsoft's internal studios are lacking efficiency. Only 343 and once bungie. They have Rod Fergusson leaders and should not go the wrong way.However, there is almost nothing except Microsoft except for "Halo" and "War Machine" even a brand.A star.

So, Microsoft has entered the game industry for 16 years and has not created its own rich first masterpiece lineup. Should it be regarded as a comprehensive failure? Pachter said:

"It may be a bit too much to say 'comprehensive failure', because after all," Halo "is successful, and the five" Halo "is excellent. And I think" Quantum Broken "is also very potential, and" Titan Fall "is alsoThe performance is also good, the third -party game does not need to be mentioned. Generally speaking

Perhaps Pachter says it makes sense.So is Microsoft's "reasonable business judgment" further close other game studios? It is really stupid to say that Sony is always supported by the project that has been supported.Nintendo does not know how to give up the niche brand like "Blade of the Extraordinary".Pachter wakes up a little bit of dreaming. We can see which companies are more stupid here, and in order to pursue art and regardless of costs, which companies are smarter, and they are completely based on investment and returns to make business decisions.
