Gaming Journalists: "The games industry is in trouble! We need to do advanced math to save AAA studios!"
Eh...ACTUALLY, only the WESTERN AAA industry is struggling
Asian gaming is doing well
We all know why, but you don't want to say it
- Shift Up just upgraded from dev to publisher
- NetEase is printing money with Marvel Rivals and Where Winds Meet
- Capcom is dropping hit after hit
- Pearl Abyss just delivered one of the most successful games of 2026
- Cygames, MiHoyo, Kuro games, NetEase, etc are all drowning in money with their waifu Gachas
The HARD TRUTH is that China, Japan, and Korea are not as worried as the California gaming studios, and the reason is obvious
But journalists don't want to address this because they lowkey want to push the California slop
