The DOOM shirt is staying on. And the dogs are gonna watch.
Fixed.All the photos at the beginning made melaugh sohard
I wonder how much of this would have been avoided if they just made feature complete fun games without peachy DEI or being greedy with microtransactions or trying to chase that GaaS golden goose.
They brought this on themselves if you ask me.
She loves peanut butter, too.
Coincidence? I think not.

Again, Sandfall Interactive destroys every theory why this industry is "screwed". This industry needed Clair Obscur so bad, it's the perfect anti-thesis to all the Ubisofts and EAs out there and for what it's worth, AAA and all their suits who force games to become blatant boring work of uncreativity, because all they care about is their own profit instead of the art behind it, can go fuck themselves.TL;DR: The game industry isn't as attractive to investors anymore because the explosive exponential growth from Covid didn't continue indefinitely. There are other industries that are successfully competing for user's attention and investors are investing in those industries over the gaming industry.
She is looking at this through the lens of a developer. It's harder to get funding and most big publishers chase trends to secure funding. She almost connects the dots when she mentions that a non-public studio like Larian Studios doesn't have to chase trends and they can do what they want and are successful...
But she doesn't quite get there.
She views the investor slow down as dooming the industry, but it was over investing into this industry that caused the doom in the first place. Twice as many workers don't make a product two times better and it doesn't make the product two times faster. It does make the game twice as expensive to produce though.
If your survival in this industry is based on investors keeping you afloat, you're doing something wrong. Your own success should fund your next game.

Her audience probably includes more than core gamers who deal with games and the industry on a daily basis, because, well, boobs.This woman never has an original thought in her head. She just says the most basic and obvious thing possible and acts like it's some mind-blowing discovery.
