>Great vidya crash

people have been claiming this is coming for the last decade. Well here's a newsflash for you: It's not like the 80's, games are too big to fail now. No matter what happens AAA games will still be made and still be shit because they're just enough for normalfags to enjoy for a few hours at a time.

It is true that a lot of the contributing factors to the crash in the 80s no longer exist, but I wouldn't be surprised if the software market starts getting over-saturated in the next few years to the point where the desire for them dries up. The emergence of a mobile market would partially overlap if not eclipse the console industry, too.

there will be a crash… but not in the same way. certain areas are srtting up for a market crash, mobile and vr being two sections. gaming as a whole won't fail. vr needs it hard, since as of now there is less and less "games" and more 1-2 hour experiences at a whopping 30 bux and it's going downhill fast. mobile has everyone starting to drop shit as whale searching is becoming unsustainable as a main income source.

if anything HOPEFULLY this means we get people starting to take notice of what went wrong and how to do it better.

>Shills are this delusional about evading the inevitable crash.

Also, almost everything will be shit. If anything good comes out, pirate it. Never give money to any company. They are all enemies of their customers.

Nothing is too big to fail. All companies can, and will, be brought down.

What's your game like, anon? Do you update in the /agdg/ threads?

Crash won't happen but a huge exodus of talent already is happening.

If you never buy anything you're not a customer.

I don't think any crash will occur anytime soon either. What I think will happen is any unprofitable genres will simply die out. We can see that happening already. I guess we can kiss goodbye to true RPGs, RTS games, Point and Click Adventures, or Tactical Shooters. Singleplayer games may even gradually fade into obscurity. There's a whole generation of people raised on LOL, DOTA, Skyrim and GTA Online who simply doesn't know any better. They have no standards whatsoever because they never played good games so buying trash is all they know. DLCs, lootboxes and microtransactions were something abhorrent not so long ago. Now they became a standard practice. The future doesn't look bright I'm afraid.

Realistically, if games become so shit that I can't enjoy even one new game, I'll always have a backlog that could last me six lifetimes. Realistically, an ET-tier crash won't happen, but some genres will completely die out sooner rather than later. Off the top of my head, Arena Shooters, RTS, Space Sims and wow-like MMORPGs don't really have much longer. A WoW expansion came out a couple of days ago, and I doubt anyone here has heard about it, compared to years ago, where ads and reviews, beta videos, etc. would be absolutely everywhere

What you'll see is the OS jew and the console jew colluding to make older games unplayable, unmoddable or unavailable in order to pimp their mediocre pozzed dross on the market.

Be prepared for a rich resurgence of underground content creation and distribution which will encompass the inevitable populist pushback against the encroachment of the software publishing jew.

Hang on to that old tech.
