They are charging an absurd amount of money for a game console
They are selling a game console that has practically no first party games for it.
If they had plenty of the latter, they could weather this. But there are still games releasing for the PS4, and they have had 1, maybe 2 PS5 releases that would qualify as first party this year (that don’t bubble down to PC).
I was hoping the launch of Classic would bring back classic loot rules and with it, prime opportunities for very public breakdowns during raids. It did not.
Indie games do not get the coverage or support that the AAAs do from the console vendors. If the AAAs collapsed, the console vendors would lose their bottom line. Simple as.
Except Nintendo, because they still offer cheap SDKs.
