Something is seriously wrong with the gaming industry — and it’s no longer subtle.
Rising game prices, shrinking releases, constant layoffs, and record-high development costs are all colliding at the same time, and it’s pushing the industry toward a breaking point.
This video breaks down why gaming feels worse right now, why studios are struggling despite record revenues, and why this doesn’t look like a normal slowdown. From unsustainable development budgets and expensive hardware to weaker consumer spending and risk-averse publishers, the entire system is showing cracks.
This isn’t nostalgia, and it’s not panic.
It’s about recognizing patterns — the same ones that appear before major industry corrections.
If you care about where gaming is headed, why games cost more, why fewer risks are being taken, and what this means for players and developers alike, this is a conversation you can’t ignore.
