Yes , when I hear there is a new netent release I don't feel any curiosity/excitement to play it because you know exactly what to expect . 3 scatters bring a mediocre bonus . Ingame features which pay 2x or 5x etc Nothing much of interest . And the graphics are nothing special either
Compare it to a blueprint game with far superior graphics and way bigger variety of features such as king kong cash or jungle jackpots . These games also pay fairly low variance like netent but they are far more interesting to play . Then you have
BTG of course with the insane potential and innovative concepts . Merkurs are simple games but they can pay massive so that ensures their popularity . Novos and microgaming have their followers although a lot of their new releases are a bit samey also . But I can't imagine anyone saying Netent is their favourite provider ? Even quickspin games are more fun and better produced these days !
Netent's last big release was Planet of The Apes I believe and that is a real dud imo . Boring basegame , boring random features that don't pay and scatter bonuses that give you a disappointing 10-50x pretty much always
