Gone Home was such a disappointment for me. I went in totally blind and played the whole game like it was a novel horror game, just building up the mystery until some monster or another threat appeared and the game really got started. But fucking nothing ever happened, I just carefully snuck around that place for hours, learning about some gay ass family drama, and then the game ended. What a bunch of bullshit

Delete Fortnite? Tempting, but it would also kill the Epic Games Store—meaning more competition for Steam. Not necessarily profitable. On the other hand, it's Fortnite that popularized this Battle Pass crap we're dealing with in every game now.

>>712592520
Yes and no, that's what you're saying. Because studios like the ones that created Cyberpunk 2077 have shared their mistake of launching a game too early and listening to their shareholders. But other studios like Activision or Electronic Arts, so these studios, with their microtransactions, no. Sometimes some make mistakes, and others stupidly repeat them because, quote, it works, but it's once again because of the consumer, who is pretty stupid, in general.

>>712593818
>Overwatch never made, hero shooters never become a thing, or branch off from another better game.
eh TF2 would probably still happen and the shitty ripoffs would be just as shitty

>>712593775
I was thinking about him, but honestly, he's pretty fucking influential to the industry and would cause major ripples in history.

If it makes you feel any better faggot, I pirated it.

Unlike you faggots, I don't read threads or watch youtube videos before I play a game. If it catches my eye then I play it, that's it.

Do I remember it existed? Balatro. Then I remake it and get the credit. I don't remember it existed? I dunno, Brink because I wasted $60 on it.

>>712592202
AA already lives. Some big publishers are starting to love towards lower budget titles. Look at stuff like Robocop: Rogue City. There's plenty of indie and publisher games that have AA budgets.

You said that you had happened to read /v/ bitching about the game and SJWs. Whether you intentionally sought the information or not is besides the point.

Diablo Immortal is based though so is Lord of Heros

star citizen seems like a good candidate for deletion.

It's a difficult choice
>Half Life
you would delete a ton of "cinematic" first person garbage games but would also kill steam which would change everything, impossible to predict the final result
>Dark Souls
Would significantly improve modern gaming
>FF7
By killing FF7 you would prevent the FF movie and save squaresoft, but it would also potentially let Xenogears get finished and it could become the "new" FF7, changing nothing
>Persona 3
This would potentially make anime more niche by removing the P4-5 entry points to anime media, and leave Atlus as a niche JRPG company.
>Puzzle and Dragons
might delete gachas from reality(and save type moon)

Is there any game that when deleted could have saved Sony from it's current situation?

Delaying the existence of [GIMMICK] guarantees at least a minor change in the industry due to the time it'd take another company to independently think of [GIMMICK].
Most AAA devs are reactionary, they wait until someone tries something new and THEN they double down on it if it was successful. Without [GIMMICK], they would wait until someone else did it first. It would be a cascading change in the timeline.

What game started the battle royale thing? I'd remove that game so hopefully that genre never existed.

OP here! All you need to do is stop being a fucking demigod and become a real god. That way you could have completely changed the video game industry, faggot.

Bioshock Infinite.

The only thing erasing Wizardry would do is shift the japanese audiences to Ultima (So more "dude it's sci-fi all along" settings) and Might & Magic
However the idea of japanese 4x games inspired by HoMM sounds fun
