Is this industry just 90% marketing?

Is this industry just 90% marketing?

90% of the effort of making a game is programming
90% of the money goes into marketing

I want to play doctor with her

You actually have people throwing fits every now and then when there's nothing coming up that marketing is telling them to buy.

Marketing is everything, only a child doesn't understand this.

Maybe not 90%, but yes it is pretty high, unfortunately. Basically how Riot games survives investing hardly any money into their actual game and putting it all in advertisement and promotion.

yes,just like your thread with bait pic

Yes. A significant amount of the initial money made by a studio is made in pre-orders and day-1 purchases. At this point you don't know anything about the game except what the studio releasing it has told you about it. Marketing is the single most important element to selling any product.

Don't discredit the art team, man. It's not their fault that many AAA companies employ a fuck ton of low paid interns to pump out assets. On many very good games, the art teams works their absolute ass off.

Art, Music. I'm a programmer by trade but let's not pretend that somehow all the 3D modelers and shit aren't do anything.

The man with shit taste

Back in high school during gym I accidentally tagged a girl on the boob during softball. She was shocked, and I apologized because it wasn't intentional in the slightest. After that she wouldn't leave me alone and kept talking to me and trying to make friends with me. It was weird.

Actually, code is like 15% of the work at most. Assets, such as textures / models / sprites / sound take up a vast majority of the effort. The content grind is easily the least appreciated yet most essential part of any video game.

With that said, marketing is still super fucking important given market saturation and the variety of platforms you have to put your game on. It's unrealistic to expect exposure on par with Doom Eternal or Animal Crossing, but you'll never sell a single copy unless somebody knows they can buy it at all.

women are such vile repulsive creatures, yet I can't stop craving them Yas Forumsros. fuck, why do they have to be so damn cute all the time. fucking whores.

Adults who can't resist marketing deserve whatever comes of it.

all women are whores, it's time to take the gay pill user

gay men are the biggest whores of them all and the reason aids spread so fast between them was because they had so many casual sex partners.

>Had a childhood friend
>We did everything together
>We promise to marry each other
>She moves away and I never see her again
>Don't even remember her name

98% sounds more accurate.
It was better before your generation came in.

you use Yas Forums because of marketing

Most of the "programming" is already handled by the game engine that has already been made for them.

based

don't remember because never happened

>all the 3D modelers and shit aren't do anything
That is correct for the past 10 years, ESL tard.

>90% of the effort of making a game is programming
art you retard

that's EA for you
> 90% marketing
also no, if you came to justify your marketing team (or yourself) you can just off yourself and your team, because people will play what they wanna play, no amount of marketing will change that, and even if it does, if then you find out that OH SHIT WE INVESTED ONLY 10% INTO THE ACTUAL GAME well good luck in sustaining your playerbase once they find out your game is shit.

saya is fucking 90% cute
