They need more time to avoid bugs and to give a right AI to the monsters.I am thinking about "multimodular micro-transactions" as future of the videogame industry. How to explain this concept? Let's imagine a franchise of videogames, and you can create a PC what can be used to the different modes (farm simulation, cooperative dungeon-crawling, shooter arena, real-time-strategy). Then when you buy these cosmetics, for example furnitures for your castle, they will can be used in the different titles, even in the offline games. Do you think this is a stupid idea?The market of the videogames is full of titles. Who can mark the difference, who will buy a "cheap" title? I guess parents for their preteen children, better if it is a famous kid-friendly franchise.I also see the future of some multiplayer games will be the streaming media/videogame service. Gamers don't want to buy cosmetics when there are afraid the new MMORPG is not making enough money and this will be close in the next years, but it would be different when you can use all you have bought in a private server by a streaming videogame service.* The main key is the funniest gameplay. Now we don't need the best graphics if we can use a voxel look or a retro-vintage style with pixels so big as fists.  Maybe the videogames could be a second opportunity for Kre-o line.[ATTACH=full]115505[/ATTACH]* Should WotC/Hasbro produce interactive cartoons movies working as "gamebooks" for the streaming media services?[ATTACH=full]115504[/ATTACH]Or interactive games for children to learn languages (French with Dorothée the elf ranger or German with Jakob the dwarf blood-hunter)! or science.* If Hasbro sees they can make money with videogames, you can bet they may buy more studios in the future, or al least to buy some IPs.* Did you know this? A new game for mobile about Magic the Gathering. ManaStrike, by Netmarble.[MEDIA=youtube]wPq6-xQh9Lk[/MEDIA]* Maybe the best option could be partnership and coproduction with other companies. Hasbro could help Asian companies to create titles Wester publich would like, and Hasbro would learn to create franchises for the Asian public. Kara-Tur has got the potential to be a new cash-cow for WotC if they do a right work.</blockquote>
