Gaming is so close to being dead.

Respectfully: It absolutely isn't. Gaming is huge, and making money hand over fist. The problem is there are too many games, that are taking too long and costing too much money to make. Coupled with some unwise COVID height investment, those factors are causing the layoffs/ad schemes we are seeing now.

I think the gaming industry needs to focus more on smaller high quality games instead of these games that take 10 years to make that have to hit or else the studio closes. I am also against having my gaming interrupted with commercials. The gaming industry absolutely needs to overhaul some of the practices that have become standard in the PS/Xbox era

But gaming itself? Absolutely booming. Very far from dead.
An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.
