Anyway, you can't just bash the game blindly—throw in a couple of compliments to make it all seem more authentic.
What?
If "Hollow Knight" takes off and I get held accountable by the higher-ups?
Don't make me laugh.
We've had hundreds, if not dozens, of these kinds of analysis discussions over the past few years.
After every popular game release, the company conducts corresponding research and analysis.
I've personally led at least ten of these meetings.
Every time, my critical eye has been spot on; none of the games I deemed hopeless have ever taken off.
You really think I've gotten to where I am today without some solid skills, that I'm just pointlessly bashing "Hollow Knight"?
From my perspective,
"Hollow Knight" is doomed to failure, without a doubt.
At best, it will win the support of their die-hard fans.
But that amount of revenue won't catch the attention of our board of directors.
