There's been a growing number of AAA flops in the past 5 years. Here's an incomplete list:

Concord
Skull and Bones
Marathon
Redfall
Highguard
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Saint's Row (2022)
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Star Wars Outlaws
Marvel's Avengers

I mostly liked Saint's Row, I didn't like the gang based on antifa (It just screamed of "Hurr durr, kids these days want everything handed to them!11") and why is Freckle Bitch's now called FB's? That's just fucking weird.

But other than that I enjoyed it

I really don't want to consider Outlaws a flop even though i know the studios do. I played it (public library copy) a year after release and it was plenty fun. I'd probably pay $15 for it.

I'd probably pay $15 for it.

Tbh, that's probably most people's reaction to it on launch, instead of full price. Hence why it lost money

Honestly watching a let's play of Gollum was the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time. Like 10 hours of laughs. I'm not even sure if it counts as bad anymore if you categorise it as a comedy game

Pains me to see Marathon on this list. The game is so good in so many ways. Gun play, world building, narrative, characters. The quality is truly there. Their problem was that they made the wrong genre. Why they would spend so much time and money on an extraction shooter is beyond me.

Because extraction shooters make money.

Well, some extraction shooters.

Ok, actually a very tiny fraction of extraction shooters make money.

But we can totally tempt people away from it, and make all that money for ourselves!

A small number make a lot of money, so gambling addicted CEOs want to try their hand at it
