In FishyJoe's thread commenting on the Dow's plunge, he mentioned that some game devs could go under because their games aren't going to make enough money for the forseeable future.

So, which ones could possibly fall? Hasn't Atari fallen already? If they haven't....Atari.

EDIT: Atari's a publisher.........

all of them

 lol

Microsoft would be the only one left.

Maybe Silicon Knights.

I agree with the bubbly guy with the ugly helmet.

Digimon Yaio, anyway.. I hope they all don't.  I need something to entertain my hobby.

My best guess would definately be smaller developers (none of which I can name...sad I know), but before they go under, the bigger names, like Activision, EA, Sony, M$, Nintendo, and so on, will buy them up because they will have the reserves to pick them up.

The developers that make bad games.

Because people will still buy games.

Any that waists their time making HD games. Their costs are high and returns are low, so unless they are already owned by one of the big publishers they are pretty well screwed.

Nintendo have been around for a long time, and been through many economic downturns and have always been profitable. Honestly if there was a nuclear holocaust i wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo still had an automated games making division selling games to the cockroaches.

As for who would crash and burn, i'd imagine there are many already walking a pretty fine line given the large budgets demanded by this generation's games.
