[Jason Schreier/Bloomberg] The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games

[duckbutta]

It's not that there are to many games, it's that it's to many games that no one wants to play.

 

[Loose]

I'm ngl hard to get me off service games right now, marvel rivals got me in a chike hokd

 

[Killer Instinct]

Talk about a first world problem. They should stop making them altogether and give you all something to actually complain about.

 

[Damnshow]

Too many garbage ass games

PS2 era is still the GOAT era with so many companies trying to make something different back then.

It's too much easy access I feel. So it devalues things. This is why physical media has always been the GOAT. And that's for music, movies, gaming etc etc. It forced people to be social and go outside and make a purchase. Amazon fukked a lotta shyt up too.

The market is not impenetrable

AAA games are finished. Sacrificing fun and trying to create the next big live service part time job or high fidelity cinematic game. Imagine having 200M to blow and you use it to create an outdated first person game


And 18,000 games last year, but 95% of them are most likely games with no identity of their own. Especially the indies. All the Dead Cells, Amnesia, Hades, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley clones with a different paint. It has reached a point where indie games in early development get more traction than big games just because they're doing something fresh or something we don't get enough of

You’re really missing the point

 

[Prince Akeem]

I want to cop Borderlands 4, Death Stranding 2, Dying Light The Beast and other shyt but I'm trying to cut down my backlog before buying any more new games....

Those games are all time sinks too...

 

[Neuromancer]

Can't flood the market.
