Will there be a time again when the needs of the paying customers will be in the center instead of everything else?
>>727772284I don't know, but the present of video games isn't good, so there's no way the future is good. I'm seeing so many games with female protags, and I play none of them. Clearly the NPCs are buying them if they keep being made. The future is female, I guess.

>>727772284>What is the future of video games?it dependsthere's a clear shift from premium AAA games, they are still selling gorillions but the sales are actually stagnating and more than half the market share is literally just mobile gacha gamesliving is just more expensive, wages don't keep up with inflation, according to statistics people barely buy any new gamesit's all about tried and tested popular games, if people have less money to spend on games they don't stop buying games or gaming hardware, but they pay more attention and try to get better informed about their purchase decisionsgames like silksong and coe33 did well also because their price is lower than your average incomplete half-assed $80 trash game that will probably get DLCs and patches https://newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/are-steam-game-prices-dropping-andtldrgaming as an industry is still very healthy and there's a lot of money being invested and spent on them, so no, gaming won't collapse in two more weeks, however there's a trend that indicates a shift in consumer practices so either studios adapt to it or they will keep suffering massive losses (see sony, EA, ubisoft and all that)
>>727772715China isn't filled of talentless losers incapable of making anything worthwhile.It also helps that chinese and korean netizens are much much more critical of anything and everything companies make, compared to western bootlickers, westerners are overpaid talentless losers who use their media buddies to pretend shit is chocolate.Chink and gook devs are being held captive at knifepoint by their audience incase they screw up and its paid off in terms of quality control.
>>727772284Videogames might recover if modding, derivatives and open source become more common among the wider industry.Right now publishers are essentially trying to still ride or die the momentum from the 90s while forbidding anyone from actually providing new momentum, which is essentially just an extension of every media conglomerate trying to ride or die the momentum from WW1 and WW2.Maybe if AI starts dying and there is enough serious overinvestment into it, then copyright will start to be dismantled out of a misguided urge to keep the bubble inflated, at which point both AI and copyright will die.
Games will be AI generated on roblox

Just look at South Korea. By the end of the century, only North Korea will exist, South Korea will just be some sort of India or African country.
