Today it is a fact that Stellar Blade It is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. However, its creators may never have imagined that their project would give much to talk about, especially because during development many thought they were crazy for trying to create such a project.
Develop big budget or AAA games It can be a double-edged sword, since nothing guarantees that the final product will be liked by the public and will recover your initial investment. Hence, developers make safer bets by relying on different media, such as post-launch support (games as a service), microtransactions, etc.
