Replying to legorhin #jazardly the final section of the talk is just how expensive GTA6 will be
Literally all talk from gaming people for AAA studios is how they want it to be 100 so they can increase prices of other games
games
Monday, January 20, 2025
so that makes sense
There are entire companies banking on GTA 6 saving them by letting them upcharge an additional 30-40 dollars
games already kind of are $100 on-release
between the deluxe editions and advanced access weeks
GTA being $100 for the base edition (which I think will happen) will imo backfire for the rest of the industry
I think a collapse and restructuring of gaming is genuinely needed
Indies will be fine, Nintendo will survive
a lot of AAA bloat needs to go
I think the top 15 games/year are fine
it's that 16-100 region that's fucked
all the middling AAA and AA games
and bloated "indies"
that are spending single-digit millions
7 Remake was what I thought you were going to mention
where it's ABSURDLY over-budget
and there are 3 of them
should have been 1 game max
Chinese region support is kind of wonky
and when there are periods where it's bad, they swap back to English
the peak online graph on the next page is imo more indicative of China being larger
This charts funny
I like that a potential growth saviour is just making a new genre of games

Kojima save us with your Strand type games
Dude
trump killed what was going to save gaming
what the fuck
reban it
I like that he underlined adults
Yeah, I am sure if you look at younger, the skew is crazy
An entire generation is being lost to just tiktok
and doing nothing else
actually wild statement
fuck you xbrox
you did this
Leg, I hope he threatens it
so every gacha game adds Trump as a playable character, to appease him
Clearly the takeaway is every mobile game should have its own launcher instead of the app store
The AR/VR trend chart is prehaps the most hilarious overestimate I've seen so far
dude look at those curves versus reality
2 more weeks
the ones after 2021 are at least in the realm of rational, if you bought into Facebook/Meta spending $100B would translate to growth
lmfao
