Well they are risks after all. A game company can either stay the same and be on this slow, barely sustaining pathway, or they can take risks and either rise or die for it.

How did Skullgirls risk anything?

[Hakudamashi]

How did Skullgirls risk anything?

They innovated team fighting by giving the option of custom assists, then almost died as a result, but they didn't.

Oh wow, that's such a risky innovation.

[Hakudamashi]

I know right? So many team fighting have been release since the dawn of time, and only now do we get one that makes us choose our OWN f*cking assists, it is a much welcome and appreciated innovation you ungrateful welp.

I never said it wasn't welcome. It's just not as big of an innovation as you make it out to be.

I could understand if Skullgirls tried crossing FPS games with fighting games or something but you example is such a teeny-tiny change that it can hardly be considered 'risky'.

"risky" is relative, but it doesn't matter
Point is they innovated at all and almost died.

I don't see how such a small thing could almost kill a company.

But haha, it didn't, they came back last week and are continuing to work on the game.

I've never played that game but so long as you understood my point I think we're fine.

[Tanassy]

When I said "Taking risks" I meant greatly changing the formula of an established genre, not adding a few features. Remember, your game still has to be, you know, GOOD.

I also meant this.

Really the Skullgirl's thing is just silly.
