Indie studio co-founder believes 'nobody cares about' huge open worlds anymore instead devs should pick just one thing and do it 'exceptionally well'
Indie studio co-founder Nick Lives believes players are growing tired of massive open-world games, preferring shorter, self-contained experiences that are exceptionally well-crafted. He argues that game length should not dictate price, and that developers should focus on making every moment count. Yura Zhdanovich of Sad Cat Studios agrees, stating that simply having a large open world is no longer enticing and developers must excel in specific areas to capture player attention.
