Comment on Anon is a PC gamer
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe Atarri one, except there were multiple smaller crashes in gaming history plus effects of the economy on the gaming market.
The mini-crashes include:
- American home computer bubble burst of 1983-84
- Some British game publishers go bankrupt, then immediately their former employees form new companies
- Game developers betting big on MMO style games, only for them to realize no one wants to rent their games
- Paid smartphone games falling out of favor due to pay2win slop

Oh, yeah, Atari would have been before my time, so don’t feel so bad about not thinking of that one.
I figured it was in reference to the MMO craze dying down, but that felt more like a strong speed bump than a crash.
