"Gamers aren't buying games anymore":

During the big platform subscription service push 6-8 years ago I was sounding the alarm about this. It seems inarguable now that the mass devaluation did happen and we are dealing with its consequences.

@jplebreton It's because of all this that I always sit through the credits of everything, games, TV, film. As a continuous reminder that they're made by people.

It frustrates me no end when VoD platforms shrink the video during the credits, in favour of plugging some other bit of content.
