AAA gaming is not going to die; the institutions in AAA gaming absolutely could fall apart, sure, but big-budget games have a place in the industry and it's only mismanagement that will ultimately kill these companies (if it's possible).It's already happened. The layoffs have caused a brain drain in basically every AAA company, which has completely stalled the big-budget machine. Everyone from leadership to senior talent has been laid off or left the industry. So much time now needs to go back into rebuilding skills and training juniors. It's fine, but it will take a long time and result in a changed industry overall. People thought the pandemic would mean there would be a 2-3 year drought of games coming out, but it turns out everyone just worked really hard and released a ton of awesome games. But now that devs see how the industry repaid them for those years, the real drought will begin. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard! |
