I’ve heard nothing but negative things about the gaming industry as of late. Does a majority of it stem from the industry being led by scumbag CEOs like this one?
So much consolidation in the last decade means that the majority of the by AAA game devs are owned by like 2-3 companies at this point. It’s horrendous.
Like Activision used to be the nicest publisher. Then it merged with Blizzard and Vivendi (who owned Bethesda), and then Microsoft just straight up bought them, and King (candy crush dev). And now MS wants almost nothing to do with games after doing fuck all with those acquisitions except laying people off and closing some of the studios.

The majority of games made by the gaming industry exist purely to create profit.
This is not the artist and developers fault, they are still passionate but their hands are tied to executive whims.
It’s genuinely almost all shit. The only good games left are indie games and older gems.
Honestly way cheaper and not requiring the latest hardware either.
