Did the collectathons in the 90s ruin the industry?

Sure.

It ruined the entire industry. Because you don't care for the games. I mean it's not like there are not literally hundreds of games a year that aren't Battle Royal games.

But you don't care for the genre so it ruined everything.

:fsmeh:

That was sarcasm. Let me preface this sarcasm with an appropriate emote

No more than every other thing that you didn't like.

Its affect on indie is very minor.

No.

The videogame industry is thriving despite global pandemic. "Battle Royale" games were extremely successful over the last few years and have been a significant factor in the growth of some companies to the sound of $2bn in 2 years.

No in my opinion it is just a bad, lame annd boring genre, but it has not done any particular damage. Online gaming in general yes, it has ruined videogaming industry and it is the source of all kind of anticonsumer crap, but BR is just a part of it and it came out only after the damage was already largely done.

Nah. It’s a “new” genre directed towards the newest generation. Things change, my dude...that’s a fact of life.

This is somewhat contradictory. Anti-consumer practices in the videogaming industry seem to have served the industry extremely well in further exploding margins. Consider the thousandfold increase in revenue from, say, in-game purcahse microtransactions compared to the extremely slim returns from unit sales.
