>not really true.
By sales metrics it's completely false. Most new IPs are actually suicide/burning money pits. Even AA titles are painful sunk costs nowadays.

It's why Capcom will release like eight remakes and casualized sequels and one new IP. You need an insane cushion to support a new IP invest at the AAA level because the margins are so thin that even some few fuck ups back to back mean you're stuck taking only the safest bets.

Besides, if you're a new IP champion, then the current state of the steam market place is paradise for you.
