5 Reasons the Video Game Industry is about to Crash...

[bugrimmar]

Stupidest article I've ever read.

1.) People who don't know about gaming are in charge - who says who knows about gaming? In reality, you, me, or the CEO of Activision are on the same level. Just because you can claim you're a "gamer" doesn't mean your opinions would matter more than the executive. In fact, he would be in a far better position to make decisions because he's basing his stuff on industry practices that work. Face it. COD and GTA move gaming forward because they make gaming popular. More customers = more growth.

So would you like the guy who lives in his mom's basement to make the decisions and make artsy shit games to be in charge? The industry would really crash if they allow fanboys to make decisions. No one would buy that crap except for the core, and the revenue will plummet.

2.) Budgets have gone insane, making innovation impossible - so let's see... big games with high production values and amazing gameplay have no room in our industry right? Go to hell. Without these games, majority of gaming today wouldn't exist. Would you like low budget shit shoved down your throat all the time? Idiotic point.

3.) Publishers are gaming the review system - does anyone care about reviews nowadays? No. People buy what they like. People put stupid review scores because they're fanboys, not because they really know what they want. Thousands of people put 0.0 on the scores even though they don't buy the games. Idiotic point.

2.) You're always flying blind - the gaming industry has been like this for 20 years. Has it failed? No. Stupid point.

1.) The industry is extremely exploitative, and it's driving away talent - the gaming industry has been like this for 30 years. Has it failed? No. Stupid point.

Idiots like this who don't know shit should never write anything.
