Gaming Will Be Dead In a Year… Here’s Why.

I'm not worried, my backlog is large enough to keep me busy for several lifetimes.

It would be crazy to see Nintendo survive 2 videogame crashes

That's why a lot of gamers rather to play older games than the new release games. Even indie games are better than AAA games nowadays..

It feels like the whole world is going through a crash right now. Back to back recessions.

There’s certainly going to be a crash, but it’s not going to be as dramatic as 83. There’s going to be major shake ups at AAA studios but there’s going to be a major emergence of more AAs and indies along with AAAs who manage to keep their budgets in line.

Video game crash wise, only AAA gaming (specially in this era) will be affected by this, leaving AA and indie gaming (as well as good old gaming) only what's left survived that crash because they're so good the new video game crash isn't as devastating as 1983 once was. So for those who wished gaming gone, go support good games, otherwise you're part of the problem of why good games flopped in the first place 🗿

Blackrock is responsible

hideo kojima is a very gentle and considerate yet powerful lover

I have a contrarian opinion. It’s not that there are many layoffs, it’s that they hired too much without a plan. Activision and COD have a 3 year dev cycle in theory. So they have an army of man power to keep the machine running. But most other studios now seem to take 6 years to give 1 game. The economics on these projects are INSANE! Something seems to be changing. Seems like the Beloved indies that started getting popular with the release of Hades seems to be a new posible future for games.

After 2012 the gaming industry went to shit but if you think about it, it was always going down since 2010 when it started to become mainstream

Both video games and movies are going thru the same exact struggles rn bc when you combine art, which is subjective, with capitalist greed you get shitty art 😂😂

Ty for talking about this I've had this thought for a while

I think it’s good. A crash does happen in the game industry serve as a lesson of what not to do and a reminder as well.

Films are also getting too expensive. They’ll probably crash at around the same time.

Tekken 8 sold 2 million copies and more accounting then suicide squad killed the justice league to be real. This is understandable because tekken 8.

The only celebrities in game that does make sense and are Danny Trejo and Daniel Dae Kim. Daniel Dae Kim has had experience with working on video games with the old Saints Row games and Danny Trejo is just hilarious.

every degree in tech looked so promising a few years ago lol we are all gonna get finished by layoffs

Let's be real most of that "high-budget" money is not being used for the game development. It's like buying a more expensive sandwich because it's "more polished". People need to finally see that (Edit: Also, I hate guest stars too. Celebrity=/= Talented)

If there is a crash, I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly cracked down on people playing on emulators. Just to force people to buy new games.

I'm currently doing a masters in game art. It is a bit disheartening seeing what's going on in the industry currently, but I'm still hopeful. Indie is really starting to rise, and I'm not too fussed on working for aaa, unless it's an IP I really want to work for, I do think Indie games are going to be the way forward, and I'm probably going to get a much more rewarding and overall better experience there. And yeah, I think the main issue with aaa is, it's like you said, budgets are too high, executives not having a clue about anything that actually has to do with fun, and executives constantly pushing mtx rubbish. Sadly on a lot of cases, aaa has lost the passion game development was built on, but thankfully we still have Indie, and sure they are considered "not as big as aaa", but they have the one thing aaa is missing, and that's passion, which makes them way bigger than aaa to me
