They say the games industry has taken a nose dive recently and that's probably my fault (and people like me). Pay (again) for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced? Fuck all the way off. Instead I'm absolutely rinsing Dark Souls 3 for the umpteenth time.

And why not! Upgraded 4K textures, new graphics card, ultrawidescreen support modded in - effectively remastered at no extra cost. Fuck you in particular, Ubisoft.

more likely its because of all the woke shite they keep putting in games.
gamers dont want it and arent buying it.
Ubisoft are now paying the price after making their mediaeval samurai a black man.

Absolute f'in nonsense. The issue is that games aren't fun now. The development times for the current generation of consoles are enormous, cost a fortune and it's hard to make money. This means the only type of game that is worth producing is the £100 AAA title. This has pushed out indie and smaller studios. Plus the large game devs somehow firmly believe that AI will solve every issue they have (which is patently not true). The consoles are not cheap enough to buy on a whim, or generally by parents who might buy one for the kids at christmas. Plus kids who have phones and other devices to play games on. There are loads of reasons why the game industry is f*cked at the moment but a few gammons boycotting the odd game here or there is really very little to do with it. You might argue that the demographic of gamers has been compressed into a middle aged white male type area, which might contribute to the quanitity of Gammons who play, but I doubt it plays any serious role in the current game industry collapse.

It's probably not unlike the 1984 video game crash, except instead of shovelware flooding the market, the cheaper indie games have fallen by the wayside meaning AAA games don't have to compete and have become somewhat bland and generic.

No I haven't. Something to do with not working on win95.

Thats the killer of some old games. Old console games? No problem, emulators generally work. But old Win 95 and Win 98 native games, especially those with DRM? You're totally out of luck unless you run a VM or something.
