The past 12 months have been the bleakest I've seen in video games.Cancelled projects, closed studios and thousands upo…

-1. The next Nintendo console

-2. Epic’s Fortnite plan

-3. Developing markets and global opportunities

-4. Powerful mobile hardware and app store changes

-5. Convergence with movies and TV

-6. New tools (and yes, AI)

-7. The new (and old) generation of gamers

-What about subscriptions? There are clear opportunities with the subscription model.

-What about streaming? The dream of game streaming is exciting.

Granted, it is from GamesIndustry.biz, but this really seems aimed more at investors and shareholders who are going to have a very skewed sense of what hopeful means. Personally I’d say all of the indie hits we saw in 2023, and continue to see in 2024, are a good reason to be hopeful about the future of the industry. I’d also throw in the success of Baldur’s Gate 3, which brought CRPGs back into mainstream prominence after years of being a niche genre for hardcore fans.
