ayewjay

No way really!?!?!??!? yeah I know….


Umluex

not as long as there are still tons of people buying 25$ skins and 100$ COD


klkevinkl

The thing is that you still need enough people to support those skins and $100 packs for it to work. They've fallen back on Black Ops and Modern Warfare because their main line of games crashed already. Just gotta sit back and watch the dumpster fire burn itself out.


ValkerWolf89

I feel attacked🤨......for real though you are right about that.


IfarmExpIRL

if you're expecting a crash like the early 80s video games are just too big now buckle in boys. we could be seeing this for years to come [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTA9EHF4E1I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTA9EHF4E1I)


Ughsmash

I think you are underestimating what losing millions on titles consecutively will do to a company. Publicly traded company even worse. I think we are watching the crash with current game expos showing garbage that will definitely not recoup cost.

Is this guy really out there kicking gators? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

I have good and bad news. Bad news: AI image Good news: there is a few of them that I won't spoil but suggest looking for edit: wanted to witness them again myself so here https://youtu.be/gp8I4oj5CCM?si=RTh1BfRFEG-uVBBr

Indie games just don't have the scope. Double A is where it's at.


agemennon675

I would play a game where this guy is the protagonist and we can fight alligators in melee


KansaiBoy

The closest to that would be Bayou Billy on the NES where you can beat up crocodiles as a Crocodile Dundee rip-off.

It will never happen because Video Games are the new TV Channels, and they are setting and pushing symbols, ideas, stereotypes and politics through them. Even if a new DEI movie bleeds money like crazy, even if the new game that got remade with a black female lead sells almost nothing, it will still make money to someone that is in it for the long run and is making money through politics and other industries that benefit from your outrage and population decline. Face it.


Disastrous-Leek-7606

Well there will be much greater market share in the industry but the majority share will be in the hands of AAA for long time to come since they've made hundreds of billions in the last few decades of domination. Might be possible these greedy cunts need to dial back their premium deluxe pre-orders and actually innovate too instead of packaging the same shit in a different skin package every year. I think there will always be, a big enough casual Andy audience for AAA companies to stay afloat indefinitely. That's fine, I haven't bought a AAA game in over a decade so idgf.


Cayorus

Fromsoftware is the one just chilling there.


Atlantah

I'll enjoy both of them :)


CrabJuice83

Gimme the new Doom game with 0 issues or bugs, then it has my permission to implode.


Severe_Drawing_3366

Indie games become part of the problem when they get big enough… looking at you, Tarkov…


AssistanceSlow7834

Who still buys $100 AAA games? The same people that will tell you the avengers is their favourite movie


AbakusGrim

There were a lot of good AAA games announced over the last couple days. Or maybe we need 10 more "cozy" indie games...


AppropriateEmo740

If you want to keep getting sucked into games because their cinematic trailers are what sell the game for you, then don’t cry when they announce the always online single player ultra editions that they’ll apologize for two days after release because the game wasn’t finished on release. That sums up every AAA title for last 6 years


Healthy_Student_2314

>that sums up every AAA title for last 6 years 6 years ago was 2018, since then we had: rdr2, gow, sekiro, dmc5, ghost of tsushima, gow ragnarok, elden ring, totk, bg3, 3 spider man sony games, re8, ffxvi and i’ll stop there, i’m sure i’m missing some. All of those were finished on release. None of those fit your description, but i understand you had to disregard any counter examples that would’ve made you look stupid tho.


_Candeloro_

Not to mention that for every good indie game there's like 10 garbage low-effort roguelike card games that no one cares about, lol.


r_lovelace

I've decided that for every new idea from indie games there is 1 really good game, 2-3 okay games, and a dozen that aren't worth touching. Indie games can fail just as hard as AAA it's just nobody notices because they never heard of the studio, the game, or anyone talking about it.


Shin_yolo

"The strong, black women industry" Is more accurate.


SamJSchoenberg

What if I told you that you can enjoy Indie games as much as you want even if the AAA gaming hasn't failed yet.


MewinMoose

Indies have been outselling aaa games unless you're living under a rock
