Nobody cares, and nobody should care. Games are a luxury, not a necessity.
We are in an era of dissolution and upheaval again.
Scarcity is progressing and class divide is increasing.
In the midst of Humanity as a whole having less and less money to spend now, at the same time, you have an oversaturation of entertainment and video games.
Meaning you not only have people with less to spend; those same people are immune to spending bait. Oversaturation gives birth to immunity towards being gaslit, manipulated, exploited, hyped, advertised, marketed, treated like a product yourself, by corporations and indie creators alike.
That means the control is in the hands of the consumers, no longer is it in the hands of creators. Theory of self-interest 101: If you have a society unwilling to waste resources, and if that society has ample replacement for your shit produce, more replacement than there is lifespan to invest in it, your only remaining strategy in this new era is no longer to whine your entitlement to people's money, it's to figure out how to suck their cock. You will suck gamers' cocks to monopolise that little grain of attention span and pity they are willing to give needlessly, or perish in irrelevance. This is the simple objective, scientific, mathematical, quantified fact of life now - as pertains to luxury industries such as entertainment and within entertainment the small subdivision of gaming. We ain't even tackled books, comics, movies, real life hobbies, etc. as time and attention span monopolies stealing your customerbase themselves, also oversaturated EACH beyond a lifespan's reach to go through it all. So, get to sucking bitch.
