Most “normal” gamers dont care about the same things gamers that are more invested in the hobby do. I.e by and large, the “average” gamer isn’t voting with their wallets against the enshittening of the industry.
TLDW: 8 minutes of vacuous navel-gazing which could have been distilled to the following 4 sentences:
But who involves themselves that much with games?
Critics, journalists and enthusiasts.
But what percentage of the whole do these people make?
If you’re watching this video right now I imagine you’d be considered an outlying statistic
a few steps away from the average demographic the industry continues to target.
The idea that you can control capitalists with ‘your wallet’ is flawed. Its never worked that way. Capitalism is controlled by regulations, or its not and you get crony capitalism.

That’s what I feel, there are so many consumers now that products that aren’t good or exploit their users can still have a healthy market.

The funny part is people who will blindly watch any random word vomit on YouTube are who some of these trash games are targeting.
The problem is by-and-large people don’t care. As hobbyists some of us might, most of us say we do, but the profit and cash flow says otherwise.
Companies have ensured that those who do not fall in line will be ostracized.
That’s the cost of voting against them with your wallet, access to the rest of humanity or going it alone.
