What would happen if every single Game dev quits and there is no more

[Hunter_M♤cer]

Imagine this
Let's say a bunch of game developers suddenly stop and sell their hardwork assets and become Programmers, It or any other programming job that isn't a game related job

Game Companies suddenly sell their company or turn into Tech, Web or other game companies

No more new Games instead you will have to stick with the games released before, no more new game devs as all of them stop and do better jobs

Video Games recieve their last ever update with a announcement to dropping support

Steam and other game sites still supported but no New games/Updates

Multiplayer still is active but no updates

So what do you think would happen and how would feel if this ever happened?

This thread just shows that we should appreciate people who make video Games

I wouldn't care because I've been building up my own personal library of games.

I don't know if it would make a difference to me, I'm the type of person who plays the same game MANY times until I know a better game

[Crazy Tiger]

Sounds like a good opportunity to makea dent in the backlog.

[Basarab Laiota]

i'd keep playing games because i own thousands (plus emulators lololololool)
yeah if game devs leave then players/modders will take things into their own hands... not to mention business-minded individuals will see a completely untouched market.. yeah this "strike" or whatever wouldn't last long

Board games I guess

[Tiberius]

there are more than enough games in steam for you to play for the rest of your life

[chickabumpbump]

There would still be another release of Skyrim

[PurpleBeast]

Indie games still exist, besides my pc is trash so i will probably never experience newer gamers. hell i can't even run games after 2010.

There would still be far, far more games that you could ever play available so it would make almost no difference. The same is true of music, movies, tv, books, etc.

You mean, like, what I already do?

It's fine, thanks to games like Skyrim that you can keep playing indefinitely as long as you want and games like Sonic 1, Golden Axe 1, Super Castlevania 4 and many many more that are always good and enjoyable no matter how many timeswyou have already played them.

Nothing would change for me tbh.
Games into two different launchers + emulators. Players and modders (communities) will take it from there. Games to the gamers. But as a job and specially with mad crunch it should be appreciated.
