Day after day I'm seeing more threads about Gaming companies laying off employees. Is this more based on our economy or is it an indication of reaching the peak of the pendulum swing?
More specifically, based on what I've seen in the past few years, a lot have gamers have grown distaste for "big gaming". And I get it. There have been so many Ubisoft bloat games, and even Bethesda has gone down hill. Many instances to be seen of AAA games falling flat.
Is it possible these layoffs are a good thing? Games take millions to produce these days, and they're also a long process. Surely these companies can't risk a failing game. Will we see indies become more emphasized in the future? And will big gaming companies have to look to the drawing board more and see what gamers really want?
How do you realistically see the future of gaming?
