this is purely my own gut feeling and i’d love actual devs input, but i get the sense that on top of everything else collapsing, one of the big struggles in games is that the Normal Iterative Sequel, reasonably scoped and made on a quick schedule, seems to sell like six copies now

i think another common pattern for these games is "i'll get it on sale" which can lead to good numbers over time but a steam sale next year won't help with payroll today

I tend to feel that Gamepass/Epic Free Games/PS+ etc are actually really bad for the industry, because they reduce the perception of the correct cost of a game (at point of sale) to zero
