"Survive 2024" has been the key theme of my convos with publishers and retailers so far this year as well.

Industry spend CAGR has been basically flat since the pandemic, no significant upside room for player/hours growth, costs keep rising. Market's gotta get to GTA6 and hope. https://t.co/v4nAhBKy57

The games industry feels like it’s on the edge of collapse, which is wild after the great year that 2023 was. 

It seemed to go like...

• "Oh, budgets are increasing, we'll be fine though"
• "Oh, this looks a little concerning but hey, it's fine right now"
• "Hmm, concerning, but that's a future problem"
• "Oh shit shit shit, what do we do, how do we fix this"

Developers making the actual games been trying to warn those at the top for years though...
