Poll Will most Developer's abandon Smart Delivery in favor of Director's Cut's for more money? (21 votes)

Yes, why would developers want to give away a next gen version with some extra meat on the bone for free 33%
No, developers love human beings and do everything for free 67%

What are your thoughts on this I see most going the Sony route like activision and EA with call of duty and battlefield going you pay 10 more dollars for the next gen version. Do you agree its heading in that direction and ditching smart deliv?

@thedork_knight: I'm not Simpin' for Sony...I'm just a realist who sees where the developers want to go.

"Director's Cut" and "Game of the Year Edition" has never been anything new. I think Smart Delivery can coexist with it.

What about the "Cross-Gen" Bundles for people still on last gen you think this is gonna just co-exist with this?

On PS5 it will be the remade bs version for $70. That is until they decide to raise the prices to $80.

On Xbox serious it will be smart delivery and a lot of times included with Game Pass on day one.

Yup. Cross-gen titles are nothing new either, and various publishers have handled it in various ways.

None of which affected the one platform where the concept of "generations" has no meaning. If the PC and their generation-less market can coexist with consoles and their generations, Xbox's Smart Delivery can coexist with cross-gen bundles, especially as Smart Delivery is voluntary for third-party games.

If there is new content, I’m okay with a developer cajoling the market to pay up. Performance and visual updates are likely insufficient, unless the quality gap is significant.

For the time being, I don't see Smart Delivery going away. It's a consumer friendly "bridge the gap" idea that people are happy about. I can see it going away in a year or so though. At some point in the not so distant future, last gen will go away and games will all be current gen. Can't cater to last gen forever. It's especially a good idea while stock of current gen consoles are low. People are still having trouble getting their hands on them.

Developers will do what the publishers tell them to.
