They have an average playerbase of 7k players with peaks of 20k+ every month, which is healthy as hell, because, compared to the top games in the world, say GTA V or Fortnite, they surpass their playerbases in game modes like Fortnite’s Lego, Rocket Racing, Team Rumble, Save The World, and pretty much all of GTA V’s races, pvp modes and like 99.9% of their online missions which are always dead empty despite having a constant playerbase of 150k or whatever, because they’re boring and unrewarding as fuck.
Those numbers, and remember NMS’ team was or is like less than 30 people. Rockstar and Epic Games have hundreds, if not thousands of devs and people working on their games.
Spending on games like these is how they evolve and become better. If Minecraft stopped receiving updates a long time ago, it’d be as dead. And yeah, Mojang was bought by Microsoft, the team is super large compared to NMS’ now.
It’s always the inexperienced kids who speak about game dev like they know shit, but they really don’t. This is why a lot of misinformation and bullshit gets spread with confidence, the most lousy people in gaming are dumb little kids who think they know better than adults working in the field, it’s ridiculous
You don’t know the cost of those resources.
