The Video Game Crash Of 2024 Is Here

[Dman]

Video games aren't gonna crash, the AAA industry will.

[chumorgan]

The first crash was because the industry was pupping out soulless copy and paste garbage..
The second crash is because they've learnt nothing from the first one.

[jangofett]

It’s not even just games, but every facet of the entertainment industry is in a death spiral of greed, waste, and lack of creativity.

[DazzzTube]

The answer is simple, games got more expensive, but the quality got worse 🤷🏻‍♂️

They are charging us $70 for unfinished games, they want us buying live service games when they don't even have 10 seasons worth of content.

[mortalblade]

We control everything and we are tired of paying 70$ for unfinished, unoptimized, and unacceptable crap

[wantsome-zssq]

I don't want a service I want game. I'm sick of services pretending to be games designed to drain my wallet.

[tubby_]

Let it crash honestly. Tired of the BS they've been putting out and expecting players to pocket up $60-70. If we get less new games in 2025..we get less new games. I got my PS3 backlog to go through

[JawnSmith]

It's almost like refusing to listen to your customers and falling to give them what they actually want isn't a great idea

[realization]

I already got thousands of games.let the crash come, I'll wait it out

Once again, Nintendo has it right. They might not be the most technologically-advanced, but they're innovative and fun games. And when you buy a Nintendo game, you get a finished game, not some buggy mess that needs months of patches to work decently.

[heywhy]

Lack of content, unfinished games, boring games with nothing new to show off. Pay to win and always shoving politics and wokeness into the games. I sum it up for you guys.

[stuckintheinbetween]

They're charging $70 for broken games with expensive season passes and microtransactions. Additionally, 4-year-old consoles are being sold for $500.

[isturbo]

1. Too expensive
2. Microtransactions
3. Bugs
4. Cut content
5. *Censored * dont mention that one, you'll get yelled at!

[adrianr]

I believe that GTA 6 might be the indicator of whether we get a crash or not. If gta 6 sucks, the whole industry is doomed.

[marshallshepherd]

Less graphics and horsepower. More gameplay and tell a story. Doesn’t have to be expensive and take years.

[discod]

Gaming is too expensive now and gamers won't stand for mediocrity. Only the best games will get our money.

[hermitadventurezone]

I'd like to see a new company arrive with a new console that boasted no internet connection, no updates or dlc, just fun games released in a complete state which focused on gameplay over graphics. A console and games that we actually physically owned and could use for the rest of our lives without having them taken away from us. Y'know, something for the true gamers out there. We'd lap it up. If the industry wants success, that's what it needs to do.

[joeherrera]

I have this funny feeling that Nintendo is going to save the industry again.

[HE]

This is why more people are playing retro games. I just got one of those retro consoles, and I find myself playing games for hours like I did back when I was younger. And thankfully there's a lifetime worth of retro games that I haven't played yet.
