  Did you? Do you not critically think about the content of any text you read?

  Lots of people here didn’t read the article and took the headline to be a personal problem rather than an economic one, lol.

    You’re both wrong though, just because there are 93% more games than 2020 doesn’t mean they’re following the same end goal as other games, it’s like comparing fanfics on wattpad to published books.

      The end goal for all of them, unlike fanfics is to sell enough copies to make their development costs back and be able to make another game. Even if you discount the stuff that no one has heard of, the point of the article is that there’s so much competition that even making a game that does well critically isn’t enough to save it; and it used to.
