I’m just waiting for the video game market to crash so they stop making games altogether. Then indie developers and open source games can rise in the aftermath.
It’s getting to the point where more and more games are overpriced privacy invasive trash and frankly I’m tired of buying new hardware all the time just to get to play this regurgitated dogshit. I only play old stuff now. I’m playing descent for msdos right now and having a blast, later I’ll play some 2005 battlefront 2. Fuck enshitification.
That’s routine stock price manipulation. They’re not doing that because they need to, they’re doing it because it makes shareholders think their costs are cut and makes their stock price jump.
If there was more money to be made by producing more than their competitors, they would be doing so. Sega didn’t throw $70M worth of work in the garbage at the finish line to manipulate their stock price. Plenty of private companies have seen layoffs or closures too, often because private investors aren’t liking their returns.

It did crash. Haven’t you seen all the layoffs?

That said its less and less effective.
