"The Game Industry is not just in a ‘transition period’, it is in serious trouble. The macro environment has changed. Economic growth has turned into economic depression in the West. Population growth is no longer there. With the rise of even more development costs, gaming will only be done by a few big companies (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Console companies) and everyone else will be a $1 game making peasant of either iOS games or ‘Internet transactions’. This is what an industry collapse looks like."

Malstrom is being Malstrom. He has his routine, and ends up being right when things break that way. He is saying what should be fairly obvious though about the financials. But he does go over the top.
