    honestly it’s inevitable if the whole industry is optimizing for “engagement”. basically less games with more mtx. you didn’t need many devs to create paypig slop

      Fortunately for us, we still have 50+ years of games that are still mostly available in one form or another.

      I’ll be perfectly happy playing 16-bit games until I die

    Toxic industry doesn’t care. Leech everything dry for the shareholders. You’re either crunching or out of work, no in between. No one wants to keep staff on hand and build talent; they just churn through the available (human) resources and swap studios and IP between megacorps like tradingcards
