How much longer til the western game industry implodes?

first

>>718720010 (OP)
2 more weeks.

Not likely. Mobile games make up most of their profits regardless of how much AAA games bomb.

it's going to fucking grow and absorb your shitty little body, ripping it apart for subsistence. how do you like that?

>>718720010 (OP)
It already has.

If that was the case, Amazon, EA, Ubisoft, etc and many others would be shutting their studios down completely.

they are connected to blackrock life support, they will never explode and seems to be a fantastic tool for money laundering, 900 million dollar game development which ends being a flop with less than 6K players the first week, but its okay, lets try again with another billion game and again and again, no sales, no players, awful rating, but it's okay.

Isn't it already?
There are tons of articles out there ranting about how gaming is at an all-time low with newer and newer generations avoiding the hobby entirely.

You let journalists dictate what is and isn't real to you.

It's unironically too big to fail at this point. With the current state of gacha and MTX shit, you can turn a profit even if the game "flops".

I work in this industry.

It already is.

These studios have tens of thousands of staff, and very deep coffers. And for example Ubisoft has let go of something like 5000 employees by now.
There used to be ALOT more big studios, all falling one by one.

Only publisher built to survive this is EA who are very profit oriented and thus only really care about EA Sports.

You fags were saying this a decade ago.

>>718720010 (OP)
It never will.

Worst case scenario Microsoft or some other company will just buy all the big publishers.

Blackrock believes should be castrated.
