Video games are not a charity. They aren't art you hang up in a museum. We don't have billionaire patrons who will pay $200M+ for a vanity project. These things need to be commercially viable, but too many in the Enthusiast media (influencers among them) have spent so long tearing everything down (DLC, microtransactions, loot boxes, AI, etc.) that they've created a huge rift between the economics of the industry and player expectations.
So tell me... Who is going to buy a business running at 3% contribution margin? To leave loss-making studios open? In case this gorgeous idea of AA (where everyone just says Clair Obscur and then can't say anything else) magically starts printing money? If that actually worked, everyone would already be doing it. The industry needs to reset its cost structures, and to do so, it's going to incur a lot of pain on places that don't actually make money. And y'all need to put a mirror in front of yourselves when you ask why... because you'll be staring right at a big reason. You've taken a particular glee at tearing down the industry over the past 3-5 years, and now you are surprised at what you see.
The issue with black people in the UK is that we think we all need to fit one particular archetype & if you donโt youโre considered an outcast, itโs pretty weird
youโll get rejected and dumped and fired and youโll fail at things you were sure about, thatโs just the cost of being alive. the question isnโt whether itโll happen but how quickly you can get yourself back to swinging at the next opportunity. every day you spend hostage to what already happened is a day youโre not creating whatโs next. reset fast.
Deffo worse than going to hell ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
this is why people hit a certain age and start joining running clubs, training for marathons, taking a cooking course etc btw. we all just wanna feel alive!!!
