Whatever death may bring, it will surely live again. Hopefully, with less investor meddling.

the only part that's growing is mobile gaming

enjoy your gatchashit

Maybe your taste in games is

nah. there is still value. I'm the hitchcock of games. Trust me. Give me all your money to make great games.

think of the ceo's bonuses!

Dying? No. It's bigger than it ever was.
Moving slowly but inexorably away from the hallmarks you hold dear? Yes absolutely.

It's growing, it's just becoming more of the same for the most part.

Not really, it's just that all the fun old games died

No. You're growing up.

Actually playing video games is dying. Watching streamers play games for you is the new thing. And thats a good thing.

Look just because your fav genre got axed for not being profitable doesn't mean "gaming" as a business is anywhere close to death.

Everything but f2p garbage is going to slowly wither away as time goes on. Maybe its for the best, so only dedicated autists that love games actually make anything anymore.

No, you are
BANG!

Digital gaming is growing as well. First quarter was amazing for most gaming companies.

>no Elden Ring
>no Baldur's Gate
>no Cyberpunk


but u manage to put minecraft dungeons, VR trash, and a colossal amount of anime garbage

yes, it's called the game's life cycle. The number of sold games and profits made are constantly growing and monetization of indie games is easier than ever. What the fuck are you smoking?

In other words

actually it is

have u seen the game section at stores?

Back in the day, the walls would be covered in games. Now the entire PS4 library barely takes up a corner of the gamestop. So they fill it up with more dumb shit to sell.

Plus console gaming has been stagnating as a market, it hasn't seen much growth in the past 10 years.

Meanwhile PC gaming has grown somewhat, but that due to other factors.

Triple A is subverted but the AA and niche scenes are still tight as fuck.
Let Indi and Triple A die. Embrace passion projects by small teams.

>have u seen the game section at stores?
Nigga I only buy shit online, who the fuck goes to stores to buy games anymore?

These are the surest signs that gaming is dying. We're just talking about different kinds of gaming. Soulless corporate simulacra will continue to grow and persist until a great collapse happens.

Yes, Tencent is buying all of gaming to subvert the west and turn all zoomers into apathetic retards. Never forget what the chinks have done.

>RTS
-Dawn of War
-CoC
-Starcraft
-Warcraft 3
-Battle for Middle Earth
-AoE 2
-Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds
etc....


>2020
>"Just play AoE2 HD, the 4th one is the works bro..."

yeah fuck u.

"haha, i don't go outside bro. So your evidence has no effect on me or what i think about the actual state of gaming"

aight, cool

>Disco Elysium

i mean yeah its an "RPG" with stats & character builds, but its really just a point-n-click visual novel more than anything.

Damn you're fucking dumb
