Can’t lie. I’ve played several games and thought “inside if they gave a small team all these assets and code and just let them make a cheaper sequel in this world.” I mean on Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian did a great job with a NEW world. I can only imagine the fun that someone could get with a n existing Warzone map or two. Or maybe actually doing single player DLC for GTA5.

As Michaelangelo was fond of saying, “Why paint by hand when you can decoupage?” 🤌🏼

Lazy, profit-minded fucks.
