Comment on Bethesda Union Workers To Protest Mass Layoffs Next Week
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI mean, I don’t think Todd could have predicted the world’s economic crisis it is currently in.
If people like you and I actually had the money to spend on games like we used to ~10-15 years ago, I would say it is less likely that Todd’s statement would be considered wrong.

this man makes a fair point, my game spending is down 90% in the last 5 years.

Game spending is at an all time high, it’s just all mobile game whales and Roblox.

fair, but equally sad.

I am sure GTA will buck the trend

They’re part of the problem. I’m sure they will sell plenty of copies, but they will make their money elsewhere.
GTA:O was why GTAV never got any expansion pack, and GTAVI took so long. GTA:O was all about the whales. It was miserable to play, because they focused on creating a grind which you could pay yourself out of, and it worked. They made ungodly amounts of money. That same thing will happen to GTAVI. Hopefully we get a good story out of the base game, but it is already being reported that things like “getting a haircut” are being locked behind the $100 SKU, and it’s only going to get worse from there.
They will suck every dime they can out of whales while ignoring everybody else.
