Genuinely the worst news I've gotten all day.
HALF???
I'm being so for fucking real when I say that this is genuinely The Worst Era gaming has ever seen since its inception
Ram/CPU/GPU shortages + price hikes
AI being used more and more in gaming (*ahem* NVIDIA)
Console price hikes
Bottom line market price for most newly released games these days being $70-$100 or more
Xbox lay-offs and studio sell-offs
Sony lay-offs and studio shutdowns
Sony ending disc manufacturing
Etcetera......
I can't tell if this is the lead up to an eventual full-on market crash (relative to gaming) in spectacular fashion or if we're witnessing the gradual but ever increasing decay of said gaming market which will eventually reach a point in that it will just crumble in on itself, maybe.
Either way, I very much do not like the direction things are going.
