Whenever people mention the awful state of the industry, I feel an urge to point out that the only thing that matters in a capitalist society is what the consumer votes for with their wallet

Ubisoft is far from bankrupt. EA is far from bankrupt. All the microtransactions, all the stupid "big open world" bollocks, all mind numbing grind-a-thons, the sheer creative bankruptcy that AAA games often show... they are what people consistently vote for, every year

In the last month, the last Carl On Duty has made more money than Ultrakill ever will. By a few orders of magnitude. And the same will happen for the next one

If gamers wanted quality, they should have spent their money accordingly instead of consistently buying shit

The key thing is marketing. The giants have insane amounts of budget to market their games to heaven and beyond.
