Crash of '83 was very localized, and while current situation with oversaturation is somewhat similar to it, distribution model is completely different for it to repeat itself. Steam is just to big for it, in addition to most Steam hits not even being AAA.

Steam is a store and it's a private company. If there's a crash and there are less new releases, people will still buy old games and, while Steam will make less money, there won't be shareholders complaining about it.

I think what will crash is the majority of AAA publishers. Ubisoft is already well on it's way, EA is essentially just a Football game developer now, and so on and so forth. They're simply not needed anymore and slowly go the way of the Dodo.

Remember that, for all intents and purposes, EA has been bought by the Saudis and Trump's son in law. I don't think EA is in danger right now.

Ubisoft is in deep sh*t, as well as Embracer, Nacon and who knows how many more.

I know for EA, hence why I said that pretty much all they're doing now releasing their yearly football update and be done with it. Not really much of publishing anymore for a AAA publisher, eh?
