You suddenly inherit $10 billion from an unknown benefactor with the catch being you can only legally use it on video game investments. How will you use this money to make the video game industry great again Sup Forums?

I will hire Platinum to make an action game featuring GOHAN BLANCO

give it all to EA

buy capcom and burn it to the ground so they can't hurt us anymore

If I don't care about profit and only want to help the industry: blow it all on artists to generate shitton of AAA quality models, music, effects, sounds etc and release them all as public domain. Maybe also fund some gamedev courses.

>what will it do
It will create an explosion of indie games with quality resources. This will give birth to a lot of new studios and pose an actual on the current companies that dominate the industry and rape us with dlcs and loot boxes.

I'd blow it all on having devs make sequels to games only I want a sequel to.

Buy the Dragon Quest IP from SquareEnix. Let Yuji Horii continue to have total freedom with how to handle it in Japan, but then work to advertise and localize it better outside Japan. Then start raking in the profits after about 5 years. With my earnings, I will buy Vanillaware and repeat the process.

I'd deliberately short it.

I get myself an education that actually has something to do with video games (probably something related to art/animation) and use the money to establish a dev studio with my friends. Even if we'd never find financial success with what we'd make, 10 billion USD is going to last a while.

I’d buy most of the skilled studios that exist and then I’d force them to create games with anthro characters only. No jewing, no greediness, just as good games as they possibly could create featuring anthro characters.

>make the video game industry great again
fund the ultimate porn game, let the video game industry die.

I know his english VA died, but why did they drastically change his voice?

Did you beat the game?

Because the average person who listens to dubs doesn't care about consistency.

>not making EO3U
>not having the most awesome remix of end of raging waves made

Invest into EA. I don't give a flying fuck about video games, I can do literally anything else in the world with that money.

How to lose all your money.

Invest it all in EA.

Oh shit not yet. I only got it this week

There's a reason but it's a endgame spoiler.
It's not him. It's Yaldabaoth (aka demiurge) who's masquerading as him. When you force him out the normal Igor voice returns (at least in the nip version).

>make own game company
>list self as employee
>pay wages of £10 billion a day
>draw a stick figure as concept art
>collect wages
>Company collapses next day

Wow, what a shame. I was making vidya and everything.

i'd just give it all back. i don't give a fuck.

Fund skullgirls 2 because its the only fitan game I've ever enjoyed. peacock is my wife and I love her
Buy tf2 from valve and start making it great again
Invest in Nintendo and try to push third parties onto the switch
Try to start a new company that doesn't just throw up the same game every year.

If you're ignorant and don't know that Dragon Quest is already one the best selling JRPG series.

Make my own dream 2D Zelda and Metroid games with high tier pixel art.

It may as well not exist outside Japan.

i would pay nintendo to put mother 3 on the switch in the west

I would make a game where choices actually matter. They would change the entire game in a meaningful way so that replaying would be very different, unlike current games where replaying is 95% the same with a few minor changes.

invest it in various stocks spread out in the most even possible way to not affect the market price to much
then sell the next day

I'll probably lose some on it but that's still 9 billion+

autism

>advertised games sell 1.5 million copies
>better than any series besides Pokemon and Final Fantasy
>doesn't exist
As I said, you're ignorant. With more marketing, DQ could equal if not surpass Final Fantasy in the west.

The translation would be shit and you know it.

>fund a JoJo game by ArcSys
>buy the rights to Monday Night Combat from Uberent and keep them as fucking far away from it as possible, give it to a competent studio and team to give it a new game with regular updates
>fund a remake of SMRPG
>blow the test on FEH orbs

I would release half life 3

What would you use it on?

Create new company.
Hire myself with more-than-reasonable salary.
Get a swanky-ass penthouse office.
Invite prospective developers to pitch their ideas to me in a mix of shark tank and *THAT* black casting couch.
Record and post the videos.
Act as angel investor and fund shit that sounds fun.
Shitpost and mock the ideas that sound dumb.

I make my own perfect game for the rest of my life and maybe hire some people to work for me.
Kinda like DF but I don't need to pander to fags for donations.
Maybe publish some indie games I feel like are interesting if they pitch to me. 10 gorillions is a lot of money and more than I'll ever need.

is that enough to buy EA?

I’d buy the Blood IP off of Atari and make a proper sequel.

Hire Vanillaware to make a Diablo style game set in the world of Slayers. You can explore all the main nations and the lands outside the barrier. Of course you will fight Mazoku, Dragons and even Gods.

better than literally nothing for 12 years

That would cost maybe $500,000. What are you gonna do with the other 9.5 billion? Here's an idea. Duck Hunt 2.

>1.5 million copies
squeenix expects far more than that for most games.

>start game company
>invest all 10 billion in it
>hire some people to make some games
>buy nice house for myself
>do whatever the fuck I want for the rest of my life
Who fucking cares about the video game industry?

Buy EA.
Close it.

Hire an all white male team of metalheads that seem to like programming as well. Credit myself as producer so I can get a salary and spend some of the money on whattever the fuck I want.

I would make the greatest porn game, with a version for every console from 6 gen onwards, VR support for the platforms that allow it, and every single female vidya character

Fan translation was enough for me. Id rather be happy with what we got than dissapointed in what could have been.

yfw treehouse translates mother 3

Make RTS games and city builders great again.

New Titles in:

Submarine Titans Sequel
CnC Red Alert 1 Remake
Dark Reign Remake
Amazons and Aliens 3
Settlers 2 like game
New TA or Suprcom
New Dune RTS
Battle Realms 2
New Warlords Battlecry
Earth 2150 Remake
KKND 3
Rise of Nations 2
Dark Colony 2
Star Trek Armada 3

Invest in AMD

Yes. Which is why I would be buying the IP from them and have more realistic goals.

Their ideas for Dragon Quest is also stupid since the games are made with the Japanese sales goals in mind. They already met sales expectations with only the Japanese release. So any sales made outside Japan are just extra profit. But of course this doesn't stop SquareEnix from whining about it. Then they turn around and praise a game like Bravely Default for being a huge success when it sells half as much.

Damn... I'd pay 200$ for that.

2.5 billion to capcom to forever localize sengoku basara games
2.5 billion to sucker punch to make sequels to sly and rocket
5 bill to myself to make my own games

You're not thinking far enough. With 10 billion, we can hire Koshiro to team up with my musically inclined friend and get him to do what we want. And instead of making EO3U, we can make our own ideal dungeon crawlan.

Invest heavily in data collection and telemetry software in games for the purpose of long term self preservation. Fuck the industry and fuck all you guys, Im gonna make billions more without doing jack shit

Flee you fool

Pay ISIS $10 billion to pull off the most elaborate terrorist attack possible on as many EA-owned buildings as they can

revive a couple of older franchises by contacting the devs and people with the rights, fund a few projects from others

reap profits and live comfily the rest of my life

i go to fig and back all the WRPGs

I would buy licensing for Pachinko machines from Konami and bring them to America. They would quickly overtake slot machines and I'd make many times my investment. Then after our licensing agreement runs out, I'd screw Konami and take over all the Pachinko machines for myself. And expand them to every other market Konami is too stupid to ignore.

>condemning a whole new generation to gambling addiction
Still not as bad as EA.

I would get together a team of talented perverts and single-handedly create a stable and thriving western erotic games market.
No more will people need to suffer Patreon Daz Studio scams and games that update with four or less new scenes every month or two.
In addition, set aside about 100 million dollars, hire a team of translators, and offer to front the bill and translate as many Japanese porn games as possible until that money drys up, so that nip devs see there is a market for their games in the west, and perhaps spur them on to get that shit translated themselves.

Get Aaron Ehasz and make a long-running series of vidya that continues the Avatar series.

>I know his english VA died,

I thought it was the Japanese VA that died?

It was the nip one that died. I don't know what the English VA is doing but I miss him.

>hire all the nu-males and shrill feminsts in the industry
>headquarters mysteriously implodes during the office christmas party

>>headquarters mysteriously implodes during the office christmas party

Good luck with that.
They'd all stay at home in protest, because Christmas is offensive to Muslims and gay people.

More porn VNs

Bribe taleworlds to release bannerlord already. Destroy EA and Bungie. Can't think of anything else.

Buyout every shitstain indie startup in California and saction all games from Japan if they don't fulpy translate a game it can't be released in America.

Alright Sup Forums, if you had to spend all 10 billion on ONE game and somehow the structure of your company allowed to not be a bloated mess due to inefficiency of scale, what would that game be? Hard mode: no MMOs that are every genre where you can do anything.

Skyrim 2

Bubsy 3D

No game would ever cost 10 billion. The most expensive game ever made still only cost $500 million.

>Start up an independent game company, much like a independent record label.
>Invest solely in indie developers that actually show an active interest in making the best possible game they can on the terms that a decent portion Of The game has been completed and they have an estimated completion date with a time breakdown folder.
>There is no censorship and the developer can put whatever they want to into the game.
>They are free to retain the rights Of The game and can choose what console/s it is presented on in return for a 15% cut of profit.
>If it Is successful enough they can either choose to continue working with my company in future endeavours or go on to work on whatever triple A tripe is offered to them.
Basically be the one business that doesn't quell the creativity of it's developers in order to milk profit from franchising.

>make kickstarter for 10 billion
>donate money to my kickstarter
>make some shitty game in a week
>become rich

Here's how you make a game cost 10 billion. For example, dark souls 4. Dark souls 3 had like a dozen levels and lets say it cost 100 million dollars. Now dark souls 4 has twenty dozen levels, more dialogue, vastly more polish, way deeper combat, a thousand little TECHNOLOGY features, dozens of NG+ bonuses like an item that turns every level black like the untended graves or something, battle royale covenants, etc etc. Obviously nobody would make a game like this because it's absurd, but this is a hypothetical discussion.

>what are hardware restrictions

What hardware restrictions would that be user?

The ultimate VR game. One cleverly designed not to induce sim sickness at all, that's efficient enough to run well even on a basic PS4, but also can be ramped up if you have the hardware.
It would have a simple to approach, yet also very high concept and philosophical storyline, that explores multiple games within games, giving you a whole breadth of experiences in VR, but each element plays well and ties together in an overarching puzzle/mystery to solve. That optionally ascends beyond the game into a constantly changing metapuzzle.
Think Talos Principle but on a whole other level.
I would want the player to think about the nature of VR itself and how it relates to us. How your actions affected the digital characters, characters so lifelike you can almost empathise with them.
With money like that the only limiter is time and technicalities.

I'd spend it all on a PSO episode 4&5. No regrets.

I'd buy the rights to all the games that Konami controls and sell them to various developers at a lower price so that they can actually be made. Maybe even just give MGS to Kojima

I'd just live off the interest and then buy everyone on Sup Forums a Sony Vita

not the user but file size and cpu power come to mind immediately

Buy TF2 keys and give them away for free.

Use the 10bn to set up a game company with me as the sole employee.
Then post game ideas on kickstarter and have a patreon.

File size would obviously be enormous, but with all the polish you could probably bring it down to manageable limits, plus I think the retarded 50 gb game sizes these days are because they feel they don't need to compress certain things. I don't see why CPU would matter, all the content would either not take a lot or would be deloaded when you're not actually in the level, and there's the polish helping again.

hire a group of blackhats and fill everyone's TF2 inventory with keys so valve can stop leeching off microtransactions and beg to me for money to make games.

Give it all to myself and become an indie dev.

1. Blog and upload to YouTube regularly about all the things I am too dumb to code, and too talentless to draw.

2. Develop very slowly a niche game, like 2d Metroidvania, that will never sell.

Give everyone on Sup Forums consoles and PCs and games if they can prove they aren’t the cancer.

Buy Capcom (restructure the shit out of it) actually release games. Create several small lotteries with really difficult time limits for the independent scene, offer a contract to any that successfully launch. Basically just downsize and then use the clout and money to be the smallest but most safe developer.

The most awe-inspiring, technology-filled Cyberpunk open world game that mankind will, or would ever see, but then cast Jarvis Cocker as the MC, playing himself.

Just tell the government I'll give them a cut if they let me do what I want with it. The government being the government will work with me

Gotta go meta. I create startup incubators for new game companies.

>You can only legally use it on video game investments
Money Laundering, obviously. Thinly veiled as a company that shits out games, either mobile or PC for dime a dozen and profits off of it with off-shore accounts, etc. to launder said investment and pocket the cash.

>hurr i take the monay for myself
JUST PLAY ALONG YOU FUCKING QUEERS

I use it illegally for my own purposes instead.

Don't forget to integrate microtransactions, cryptocurrencies, and cooldown timers somehow. Mobile, too. Like, you spend Pachinkocoin on your phone all day at work (with random cooldown and helpful notifications that the cooldown has ended) to get a better chance at the machine in the evening.

GTA clone on a fully modeled Earth with globe-trotting missions. Could have a spy there.
