We might see stagnation and decline, but never a gaming crash, like the one in the 80's. That's like asking if the movie industry will crash, or music, or literature. These are hobbies enjoyed by millions of people, and so is gaming. If the AAA games drops in creativity, the indie devs will pick that part up, earning more money, and thus being able to create bigger and bigger games, until we (yet again) have the so called "mid tier" games back. I cannot phantom a scenario where the whole industry comes crashing down - unless every developer everywhere suddenly starts making ONLY mediocre/boring games, and that's not gonna happen. |
There are a lot of ways an industry can crash. I'm not saying it will, but it's certainly possible.
And it's not unprecedented. There have been similar-ish situations in other industries in the past.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
