They made sure to prevent it happening again by destroying physical media

Something that never happened is going to happen again?

The main reason the 83’ crash happened wasn’t just the low quality of the games, it was the high costs of producing the cartridges for the Atari. This issue no wonder exist because of digital distribution. Vidya is way too profitable for an 83 style crash.

me personally? i play games everyday and i enjoy pretty much all of them. oh they're all 20+ years old though

There isnt going to be a crash because gaming is still insanely profitable. This is just a market correction over generously funding developers that produced nothing but flops for at least the past decade. The future of gaming will be game development moving to cheaper and cheaper countries and once those countries become wealthy, they'll just find another cheap country to make games in.

The industry can't crash like it did in the 80's. We're just seeing the slow death of every bloated AAA studio that can't possibly sustain the absurd practice of every game taking 5+ years and 200+ million dollars.

Even if every single AAA studio were to go through an immediate shutdown, we'd still have AA and indie. Indie is already the strongest part of the video game industry now and you can't just kill that.

>>741202835

Some AAA studios are just too big to die like Rockstar because people love fictional nigger culture, have diversified into other areas, game distribution like Valve, or have the backing of a bigger company like Sony or Microsoft.

The industry isn't *going to* crash, it's crashing right now. John Romero experienced the 83 crash and says what we're experiencing right now is crashier.

They didn't stop getting made in 83 either, the 83 crash was mostly centered around Atari and the american console market, the european PC market was not nearly as affect, similar to what's happening now. Now we obviously also have the internet and digital storefronts that means games are easier to make and sell than ever, but western AAA is 100% crashing right now.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few years. Consumer spending is declining, the big bois are having extremely expensive games fail massively on RoI and next gen hardware (notably the consoles hardware but obviously PC is affected as well) is likely to be more expensive than ever. With the existing pressure from players sticking to forever games something has to give and i'm curious to see which factor or entity crumbles first. Hell MS starting to eviscerate xbox is likely to be the first move.

Older gamers will consolidate towards IPs they recognize and not buy new IPs or new titles. Younger gamers will play gacha and roblox. That's the future of gaming.

There will be a growing chasm between casuals and enthusiasts, similar to what happened to the film and music industry.

>Mainstream games will be reduced down to a few massive heavy hitter live service game like Fortnite, Roblox and GTA Online, these games will be absolutely massive and played by the majority of gamers

>Indies will continue to grow and a new AA mid tier will emerge, you're already starting to see this happen with games like Subnautica 2 and Expedition 33.

>Insane hype and massive AAA launches will become a thing of the past, digital has now made long term sales and retention more important.

>>741202185
I can't see any crash, no matter how big, having the same existential threat to the videogame industry that the one from 1983 had.
The very "worst" that I can see happening is most big investors judging videogame to be "too high risk" and walking away, which would only be a good thing.

>>741207881
1983's was driven by the fact that there were a bunch of incompatible consoles each with their own shovelware libraries. Modern consoles are fewer in number and have a huge multiplat base.

>>741206365
While Atari management was partially one of the reasons for the crash, the actual problem was that everyone and everything can make Atari 2600 cartridges with no QA of any kind, flooding yhe market with shitty games.

>>741207881
>I can't see any crash, no matter how big, having the same existential threat to the videogame industry that the one from 1983 had.

There was never an existential threat back in 1983 either, as usual history is just very biased towards what was happening in America. Europe and Japan was not nearly as heavily affected by the crash as America was. Back then video games were much more isolated and you had gaming systems and games exclusive to specific regions.

The reason Nintendo even left Japan is because some Swede was on a trip to japan and saw a Game&Watch and just went and lied about being a very successful business man and said they should sell these overseas.

Capcom has been surprisingly ahead of the curve in recent years. Dunno what has changed at HQ but whoever is calling the shots has clearly seen the writing on the wall and pointed the company in the right direction. When they talk about resident evil in particular (fair given it is their biggest IP) and how they have scaled back game scope so they can release titles more quickly does show to a point they are putting the brakes on trying to make mega titles.

Or we could just say capcom got burned hard by RE6 and actually did learn a lesson.

The 83 crash was a crash of consumer confidence and they stopped buying games when the market was niche.
The industry today is literally bigger then it's ever been. It is more profitable, more games are being made, and there are more consumers then ever before. I'm not exaggerating on any of this btw. The crash will literally never happen. There will be a shift in trends, and maybe a retraction in dev man power, but people will always, ALWAYS keep buying games. Predicting a video game crash is about as asinine as predicting a movie or book crash. We're well past that point.

I really wish every major console manufacturer, and Steam, re-implemented rules similar to what Nintendo did in the 80s by forcing a limit of 5 game releases a pear per developer.

I think we must've spent more money per hour for every 100-120 hours of gameplay around (90-150 dollars respectively). They can effectively play fortnite for free forever if they want, but assuming they don't and looking up the stats says most people spend between 10 for battlepass and 85 dollars in the first 100 hrs. I bet it ramps up from there.
Essentially we were paying for a more tailored and deeper meaningful experience.
They are on the whole paying much less but for a much more shallow product that can be played and enjoyed into infinity with different experiences all the time.
I wouldn't trade what we had for anything even if it was more expensive.

Like you said, RE6 was a massive wake up call for them. They invested heavily in R&D because they realized they have to find a way to make game development quicker and more efficient. RE engine was designed from the ground up as an engine where tech and talent can easily be carried over between projects, Pragmata's hair tech was used in RE9, DMC5 reworked the engine to handle fast paced action like Onimusha and Street Fighter 6 etc. They put out projects quickly because a lot of work carries over.

In a way RE6's failure was the best thing to ever happen to Capcom, because it taught them the harsh lesson that many western AAA devs are now learning 15 years later

Crises of overproduction are built into the capitalist system. Of course the video game industry will collapse again. There is no need to blame wokeness or political bogeymen, though. It's a feature adored by the elite, who ride out the crash.

>>741211926
>CDPR is fine

>>741211607
The reason the 1983 crash only affected the USA is because the only video game consoles were American. It also didn't affect American arcade games, as companies like Midway and Williams were churning out good games left and right.

>>741202454

>>741202602
It's not exactly a wild prediction to make that any industry will end up declining eventually after you witness multiple years of quality drops. This has indeed been going on for well over a decade, 10 years ago somebody could easily predict a decline coming in absence of corrective measures from the industry. Now we're here, 10+ years later, the corrective measures never came so we have the decline instead. This should not be a surprise to anyone, but I guess it is because surely all these big companies wouldn't have been driving head-first into losses if they knew they were coming.

Ubisoft has been circling the drain for a long time so them disappearing would not be a surprise, but is CDPR even in financial trouble? Despite the disastrous launch of CP2077, it sold a lot and since then they've also managed to fix public opinion of the game. I'd say they're still on thin ice and personally I don't see encouraging signs as to their future games but I don't think they'll be disappearing any time soon either.

Over 11 million in the first year is hardly a flop.

europe isn't doing well either
Nacon went defunct, Embracer Group has major financial troubles, and so does Ubisoft.
It isn't as bleak as the US gaming industry because the EU one was always more lowkey and if any of the big publishers leave the scene then the laid off developers can open up an indie studio at far less costs than in the US.

Concession accepted.

Nothing ever happens. There's no crash and there won't be a crash. The industry is too big to fail for real and even if it did Blackrock and the like would bail it out.

Industry has been growing with no signs of decline for years, today is the best day ever for gaming and will be for at least a decade based on interest and forecasts.
You're fucking delusional.

Mobile grows the most and still PC and Console market grew too, a little but again there is no signs of decline as of this year.

>>741202185
I swear to God Wikipedia made this entire thing up. You never hear about it from anywhere but there.

>83 crash was because the market was oversaturated with fucking horrible games and way too many consoles competing with each other, plus Atari betting the whole company on ET and Pacman and both of them flopping
>fast forward to 2026
>only 3 major competitors in the console market and even the "worst" games are still godlike compared to the ones that caused the 83 crash
>videogames in general are ultra mainstream and make shittons of money, mostly from retards dumping their bank accounts into gachas and freemium phone games
There will literally never be a "crash" ever again. The market is unironically too big to fail.

the only crash would be American companies and even then it won't really crash, just change into something else or follow the film industry into making smaller budget games

>>741202185
>crash of 1983
>not the crash of 1993 which is far more accurate to current market conditions
lol. There won't be a "crash."

You can just ignore mobile slop games, its not like you're missing much not playing gachashit.

>>741211025
this is what I'm expecting, rockstar and 2K absolutely have some looney profit expectation that won't be met and the entire industry will be in panic mode because of it

>>741214397
i can ignore them all i want, but that won't stop moneybags from siphoning resources away from real games and studios toward mobileslop sweatshops

The video game crash won't effect me because almost every single game I play is years old. I'll just keep playing Mechwarrior 5.

>>741202251
And they were right in 2012. The industry has crashed, there is no more AAA, no one even really trusts publishers enough anymore to make AA. So-called AAA nowadays is just asset flips from junior devs on licensed engines.
The only reason nothing changed is because games have no production costs anymore and the bagholders keep purchasing bags with money that isn't theirs.

>>741214464
Never happened, console and pc market is the strongest has it has been right now, prime example is Capcom publishing on all platforms including switch 2 and pc first day. Your fear is unwarranted

>>741214540
>If you remove those the AAA industry is 100% crashing
lol, lmao >>741214270

there won't be a vidya crash because the price of making games will plummet due to necessity. all of these UE5 slop games that have released in the past few years cost a fraction of what other games cost to make due to the expansive pre-made assets library. UE6 will make this even worse.

Doomkeks are fucking hilarious

Oh no! Not the franchises! Play some new games dipshit nobody cares that you outgrew your blankie

Everyone using the word crash believes only AAA games exist

Not for me, buddy.

The 1983 crash happened because of high costs and people thinking video games were a fad. Zoomers don't realize video games weren't ingrained in the culture like they are now. A crash like that is never gonna happen again.

>>741202553
>Less and less games are seeing a return on investment
And when will publishers take the hint and realize that maybe blowing half a billion on taking 7 years to make a videogame isn't the greatest idea nor a guarantee of success?

i don't understand what copium can cause one to defend the western games industry at this exact moment in time. Do you know something nobody else knows? Do you have access to some awesome new game nobody else has access to? How can you be saying games are fine?

Recent gachas are much higher quality than AAA slop.
