    God I hope the gaming industry collapses just like in 1982. We have more than enough retro and indie games to get by until a new business model arises

      It won’t collapse in the same way because, like you said, we have tons of indies and they have easy access to publishing now. Hopefully the AAA space collapses though. It looks like it’s going that direction. They’ve forgotten why they exist.

        I’m curious if it would expand past games to tech. So many businesses aim for AI to take most of their programming role and fire their staff. Assuming that fails in some hilarious public ways over the next five years, I’m wondering what the old guard that knew the technologies well will do.

      Unfortunately that may well make them double down on the F2P mobile market.

      They’re cheaper to make, and success tends to be tied directly to marketing efforts and exploitation.
