Did squenix make a mistake by investing too much in graphics and not enough in

[Winterclaw]

I don't think it's a mistake

Good graphic is not a mistake

They need to create a game with good graphic and good gameplay

That's not my argument.

Consider you are building a new PC. You sink all your money into SLIing 4 top end GPUs and don't have any money left over for any MB. Those GPUs aren't going to do you any good. IMO SE should have diverted about 25% of their efforts from graphics and put that into content. Let's say that's 5 million (random number). If it were, that's 500 designer months of content creation SE could have afforded. In one year, ten extra people adding content (or dynamic content) might have had a larger result on the end product at the original release. And as someone mentioned, SE could have updated or added to the graphics later.
