The studios behind these mega hits spent more than a decade iterating on their favorite design ideas until they went supernova.

Im starting to believe the big triple A game industry is starting to collapse, not the gaming industry it self, but the big companies that make generic after generic blockbuster kind of games.

I’m not that hopeful, casual gamers keep buying the same low effort games like Fifa, NBA, Pokemon every year even though they got enshitified 10 years ago. The opinion of game-educated and demanding people that represent a minority of their market will not change those game companies. It’s like asking fat food chains to get into Michelin ranking, they don’t care. All we can do is allow good quality independent game makers to exist by giving our money to them instead of the fast food games companies.

When i was a kid we made fun of hipsters, but as I’ve matured and examined the world with a critical eye, I’ve realized that hipsters are entirely correct. Popularity is a bad thing for the health of anything you’re into. It’s a very rare creator that can become as big as Tolkien or Larian and not go to the dogs.
