Titanfall producer: “I don’t know if it’s making profit. I don’t care”
Speaking to GameSpot, McCoy said he’s happy the development team is still working on it – he’s not in this business for the cheddar.
“I don’t know if it’s making a profit, I don’t know if it’s meeting sales expectations. I don’t really care,” he said.
“I care that I worked on a game that I can sit down and enjoy playing. The fact that people enjoy it and it has made enough that we [get to] continue supporting it as a studio, that’s to me a success. We make games because we love them and we want other people to play them with us.”
Love won’t buy the baby new shoes, Drew.
He didn’t want to be drawn on competition with the likes of Battlefield or Call of Duty, but said he hopes that Titanfall inspires others to make games their own way rather than follow a formula.
“There’s been some really colossal failures… there’s been games that looked at what’s popular and go ‘oh, if we have this, people will buy our game.’ And then it just completely fails, because they missed the reason as to why that game was good and they didn’t try anything new.”
“So I hope what Titanfall does, as a gamer and as someone who wants to see the industry get better and make cooler stuff, is try new things and not just try and copy what’s good.”

LinxGossip This is what game developers should all be thinking.
yes i so agree with you on this!
I beg to differ. A lot of developers need to worry about profit levels as it will allow them to introduce new and innovative features into their games, as well as create new games in the future. It should still be a consideration, but i agree with the fact that it shouldn't be their main focus

Fair enough if the game didn't sell very well, but the market is flooded with this so.. If he's not making a profit, he needs to sort something out! ASAP

AR15 I haven't played this game yet. It's kind of nice to hear about someone who doesn't care solely about the money. How good would you all rate this game on a scale of 1/10?
Game is very, very fun, and the online feels so fresh and enjoyable, the downside being there is limited online game-modes in comparison too other games like Call of Duty, the online competitive story is a lot of fun. If you pick it up, inbox me on TTG, i'd love too play together! :)
