"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. 

Yeah, I'm starting to see why even Sony is talking about multiplat releases. The market conditions seem bleak, and with the kind of AAA budgets Sony has (every AAA in recent years at least $200m, some ovee $300m), multiplat actually makes alot of sense even if hardware and accessory spend is impacted somewhat by losing exclusives.
