Place where I can share my thoughts while I visit the library.
Steve Troughton-SmithIt's wild to think that the titans of gaming — Activision, EA, Ubisoft — all collapsed at pretty much the same time. Bungie looks like it has no future. Even Bethesda has only been able to put out a string of duds, for years now. And yet a couple of the best games this year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and ARC Raiders, are from new studios made up of industry veterans, born from the ashes of the big companies that can no longer sustain themselves. We're watching a full-on reset taking place

And you certainly don't fix the situation by laying off everybody, telling studios they have to increase margins to 30%, and inserting AI everywhere, a la Microsoft. It's a death spiral for unsustainable studios, pushing developers to build worse and worse games, with less funding, to extract as much money from players as possible until inevitable studio closure
