Why won't a single AAA studio try a reasonable budget game?

>spend $200 million on development
>Spend $120 million on marketing
>If successful maybe make $600 million, not even a 100% return on investment
>If you frick up you've lost hundreds of millions and will never escape this debt burden
Vs
>Hire a small, talented, passionate team, now with the connections of a large AAA studio to make a niche product
>Spend $25 million on development
>Spend $10 million on marketing
>if successful maybe see a 1000% return on investment
>If it fails you can recover

How is it that not one single AAA studio sees this as a viable business model? And how in the flying frick has standard AAA development costs increased tenfold in two generations. Demons Souls cost $20 million to make, Elden Ring cost $200 million. Which wienersucking produced is responsible for this? It sure as shit isn't the code monkeys as they've been replaced by pajeets and community college tier purple hairs with gender studies degrees.

    No one uses that kanji for "noisy". Doesn't even appear in the dictionaries. However, it does show up for the word "rape", and that is how it is most commonly used.

          It's more like "perverse country" or "wicked country." It's an internet slang term that's used because it's pronounced the same way as 韓国. China gets the same treatment and gets called 虫国, or "insect country."

        I've never seen Korea, China, and a few other Asian countries written using katakana but the kanji in that image isn't the normally used one.

        Nah, almost all Asian countries have Kanji. Occasionally western countries get them too like 米国

        Countries they're used to talking about have Kanji, especially countries that also use kanji, like China.

        Katakana is useful for indicating that unfamiliar phenomes are at play. Like seeing a word in italics indicates not that it's a loan word, but that it's particularly exotic.

        English speakers don't put entrepreneur or gestalt in italics, for example. Because you can sound them out with English conventions.

      That kanji means something closer to "wicked" rather than "noisy".

      "Noisy" in japanese is "urusai" and is written using kana.

    I unironically only learned this kanji because I bought these two onaholes. Immersion really is the best way to learn the language.

      >wicked, mischief, seduce, rape, noisy
      It's written in kana usually but 姦しい exists and it is indeed noisy

    But then those people weren't talented. And feature creep/lack of proper preproduction falls in the category of a lack of talent.

      It usually means a failure in management, lots of projects suffer because the person in charge of tard-wrangling is also the biggest tard.

    BG3 among others is proof that the strategy can work.
    But usually, AAA games tend to occupy all the media space, and if you are in the business of producing games with several hundreds of employees and shareholders to satisfy, you can’t rely on a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.

      He's not though. Huge AAA companies can recover from massive flops like FFXV or Foreskinspoken, they can recover from Scrimblo Bimblo failing.

    because the owners are moronic manchildren who rather lose a few million but have the last word. imagine how bad your ego problems must be if you hire a world class writer just so you can edit his story to your liking.
