The industry as a whole is undergoing some struggles. The growth has stopped.

Exclusivity is being rethought.
Sony is increasingly putting their games on PC. MS has put a number of games on PS and Switch.

The AAA space is being rethought.
Making increasingly expensive games seems to be reaching it's limit. Games can't afford to be GTA VI.
Studios are being closed. Studios are cutting staff. Not every game can afford to have a $200 million budget, let alone $300 million or whatever the future might have looked like if trends continued.


Personally I firmly believe that a lot of these issues are self inflicted. Can't expect growth to continue forever. And I believe that a lot of this expense growth was poorly spent.
