A humble suggestion as an alternative way to increase profits

Do Roblox.

Kind of.

Create a pool of assets that is its own downloadable “game” for all platforms with visual scripting.

Then allow people to make content for like 25% revenue.

That’s pretty much what Roblox does and they’re worth more than Nintendo.

 

Roblox is also somewhat predicated on child labour. So, I wouldn't use them as an example.

 

The Vietnamese car maker startup Vinfast is currently worth more than Ford, GM, Boeing. "Irrational exuberance," in the words of the old economist Alan Greenspan. Never take valuation as meaning anything but an imaginary jackpot number for board room jokes.

 

100% agree.
Have been considering making one myself. There a massive hole in the market here.

 

Funny you say that, that's what unreal did with fortnite creative...

 

So let's exploit children instead of developers?

 

Yeah, they are definitely scummy about it though.

I’ve just always envisioned a robust catalog of assets, editors, and sample scenes that is a single download that allows players to make their own content and sell games for a currency that can be purchased, and maybe unlock assets with the currency too.

maybe offer a subscription as well.
