A crash is good. I've been waiting for this a long time.,(reply>), frank Vallejo there won’t ever be another crash like in the 80s I’m afraid. The industry is just too big now and makes too much money now, it was still fairly small and niche in the 80s, made money yes but no where near today’s standards. <br>There won’t be a crash like people envision it to be. The crash will be big companies like EA and all the others stock price dropping (which is already happening) them cutting a couple thousand jobs, slowing down on making games and the market in general having a decline for a decade or so. No big massive crash like the 80s could happen again.,(reply>), ​@Basara You do realize the people who'll be fired aren't the same people who makes all the scummy decisions, right? The people getting fired will be the programmers, graphic artists, sound engineers, etc, who takes orders from the people who won't be fired, like management and executives - the people forcing loot boxes, season passes, MTX, etc into the games.,(reply>), F.B.I. Things don’t change or get better until it gets really bad. Darkest until the dawn. People may loose jobs for now, but in the long run the gaming industry could turn out much better and supply even more jobs with better business practices. If a crash doesn’t wake up these greedy, lazy developers, or its parent companies, then the industry will just slowly keep getting worse. That was the whole point of the frog demonstration. If things just slowly keep getting worse then things won’t improve, because people get used to the subtly rather than something quickly changing. It needs a dramatic result, like a crash, for them to wake up and start listening to its customer base.,(reply>), @F.B.I. EXACTLY,(reply>), @Basara What? You think interns, music composers, visual designers, writers, and team directors, and even debuggers are trying to scam you out of your money? AAA companies aren't one "big collective evil" or some shit like that. They are thousands of people working together, and very few of them are implementing bad business practices. And you want all of them to lose their jobs because some busines mem are scumbags? It's not like they're forcing you to buy the games with bad business practices either. There are many more food games than bad games that release every year
