The Witcher says "Hi" three times to Dyack.
Surely, the biggest and least nimble publishers and devs will need more and more to be prudent as dev costs grow, but when marketing costs exceed dev ones, maybe the problem lies there, otherwise smaller, emerging studios could never ever produce excellent games or even masterpieces, while instead it's a thing that happens quite regularly.
And this whining happens each time a new gen begins, and dev tools are sttill immature and devs still need to gather experience in the new environment.
A big videogame industry crash is very unlikely with the current wide diversification of platforms, and the availability of two, big, low dev cost and royalty-free platforms, PC and Android, but surely some big devs and publishers cannot consider themselves by any means safe.
