I fucking hate corpo garbage. It's not even warning no growth, just less. "It won't be as much bigger as it was during the pandemic induced soaring. Quick, make a short sighted decision for immediate gains without regard to long term effects."

Who are these "analysts"? And why should I care?
Wanting the games industry to constantly grow is corpo speak, and what shareholders want. I just want good games. And there's already a lot of good games out there I haven't had time to play yet. Fuck these asshats, and their lust for growth.
I generally like how small studios don't try to make hyper realistic graphics and force crunch time on their employees.
The article presents such a dystopian and shitty vision of how the videogames industry should be. Keep growing or else!
I’ve literally never played a subscription based game and I don’t intend on changing that. At this rate all I really stand to miss out on is more carbon copy battle royales, so no love lost.
Yeah, we don't need something that just infinitely milk money, plenty of those in real life already.
If some dev comes up with a self hosted dedicated server stuff like Minecraft and are also fun and easy to mod, they are going to make banks(not at scale of those GaaS) and they would probably last longer than all other fortnite wannabe.
Or, simply just make good games.
The article is referring to subscription services like Game Pass, rather than games built using a live service model.
yeah I just kinda ranted about some stuff I don’t like lol
