omg your an idiot... the gaming industry is collapsing because we do not want to pay fair market value for games. Creating an environment where the game publishers (not developers) are left trying to figure out how to pay for making these games. This lead to creative monetization schemes that have been poorly received because they take advantage of some players to pay for the game for everyone else.  Costs are not increasing in a linear fashion they increase exponentially. Also if you make a game today it will cost more tomorrow because costs for living go up. How do you not get that? Stop making content that is this ignorant.  All of your analysis is based off of flawed concepts.
