Sounds like you want them to. I will never understand shitting on a product before it's even out. Not to mention fallout isn't Shakespeare, it's not some masterful narrative that nobody could possibly get right.
Using a thing called knowledge. Might be a new fangled phrase for you. Looking at past projects that multinational companies have destroyed.
Dragonball z, avatar, a series of unfortunate events. Cowboy bebop. The list is endless. Also didn't Amazon do fallout 76 ? Which to my understanding is pretty much unplayable ?
So yeah track record and previous
I can name a dozen incredible shows that corporations have pulled off too, it's all a crap shoot.
True, I suppose it does go both ways. But can you name game adaptions that have gone well from conglomerates that are money driven cesspools ? Run for profit by a lex Luther esk villain ? Who hoards money like a god damn dragon ?
There isn't a whole lot by way of volunteer game development. I've done some, but video games are one area where commercial production has enormously outpaced volunteer work on software.
You don't know anything about this show beyond its existence and intended release date. The most you're doing is making assumptions based on other failures unrelated to this project. Dunno where you heard about 76 having anything to do with Amazon, that's a Bethesda game. And it's very much playable now after things were ironed out.
Yeah it's called speculation. Kinda what we do all day eryday. I know Amazons track record and I know previous games that have been adapted. With that information I can make an estimation. 9/10 it's probably wrong. Why does it matter ? Kool fanks for info.
