By definition, a "market crash" is value losing and economic downturn.
No game publisher is on the risk of disappearing.
You're still paying full price for subscriptions, games and consoles.
"Execs keep their yachts, workers get the shaft."
Excuse me, but if there is any "videogame crash", is on the development level and not the consumer level.
There is a market crash on game development jobs.
Why? Because the market is saturated, thus investments don't return as much as decades prior.
Line must go up. Layoffs must be done.
Ich frage mich, ob es irgendwann zu einem zweiten #VideogameCrash kommen wird. Mit der momentanen Praktik gewisser Unternehmen, muss man sich ja inzwischen die Frage stellen, ob man überhaupt noch #Videospiele kaufen sollte, wenn man sie am Ende eh nicht besitzt und das dem Boomer Gesetzgebern scheinbar egal ist.

Listen and find out how an industry was brought to its knees by uncertainty, arrogance, and poor financial planning.
On December 8th, 1982, Warner Communications, parent company of Atari, announced that their guidance to investors concerning their profit outlook would be dramatically lower than it had expected. While many in the video game space had felt unease at the meteoric rise of the industry over the previous 12 months, the news about Atari missing its targets would be the spark that would ultimately crash the North American console market and almost wipe the industry out completely. How could it come to this? What mistakes were made that caused this new medium to be so fragile? Hello, and welcome to a very special episode of the Video Game Newsroom Time Machine.
