No one cares. They have backlogs and retro games.

I just want EA to go under.

Yeah, like 90%d the games I've played over the last few years were made somewhere between NES and PS2 eras. Currently going through Wario Land 3, and Oath of Felghana plenty of old stuff left to keep me occupied through any crash.

That's not what a crash is, though.

People, come on.

Its not a crash, its the government not paying companies to make ideology propaganda games anymore.

Western AAA Gaming is cooked. That's what's really important.

I don't know. Rockstar, Bethesda, Turn10, Firaxis, Arkane et al seem to be doing pretty good.

A lot of people aren't looking forward to The Elder Scrolls VI anymore because of how Starfield turned out.

It'll make money. And lots of it. And be re-re-re-released.

Sorry about that quote error. I ninja fixed it but not fast enough. Don't know what happened.

Thanks to unreal 5, going forward I expect many people to be hardware priced out of AAA games.

And Trump's up coming china tariffs probably won't help that.

Yeah, if the U.S. goes into another Great Recession/Depression less people will be buying video games.

how many times has it "crashed" now and why do people on useless forums like this talk about it?
if it was something huge then everyone would see it
