I have no sympathy to the industry, especially where the sporting games are concerned. This situation (if the proposed bill is passed by Congress) reminds me so much of the housing market bubble that it’s ridiculous. Banks built entire divisions based upon predatory sub-prime lending to consumers, the games studios build sports divisions around predatory microtransactions to consumers. They stopped innovating and just do an updated skin pass over the previous iteration with each progressive release. They stopped innovating, and lost sight of the market. Will it hurt everything in the games industry when it happens? Yes it will, but it’s bound to happen anyway as the current trend of increasing (and invasive) micros shows no sign of stopping or even leveling out.
