I know it usually gets bad during an election year but this feels different.
It's a little over mid-2024 and we've had

Yeah it's definitely theoretically possible for AAAs to just stop spunking their money away but the big question is whether they will, or can at this point. All the bloat and excess that led to this stuff isn't just going to disappear. All the project managers and middle management who pad the budget to pay their friends off aren't going to fire themselves. If the new GTA doesn't sell as well as hoped, Rockstar isn't going to suddenly remember how to NOT spend a billion dollars on horse balls.
Making a company more efficient, cutting out all the bloat, and focusing on core essentials requires someone with the intelligence and power to do so, and if such a person existed these companies wouldn't look how they look now.

They wont becouse big companies suck and are run by out of touch idiots. Its same as hollywood.
But demand is there. And its massive. Stuff like manor lord can print millions becouse people are thirsty.
Pewpew games are only section where demand is met. Thats what makes concord and hyenas (and that bhetasda flop) so insane. You bet so much money on only part of video game market thats full.
As for how stupid these companies are. Bethesda fricked around until it got to point it had to sell themselves. Yet never they figured out to make another TES game. Or remake morrowind and oblivion.
And when ever TES 6 comes out. It will make shitload of money. And when ever new fallout game comes out. Even that will make money.

TES6 will print money, but I suspect TES7 will bomb. At the moment the market is primed and desperate for a new Elder Scrolls, but Bethesda CANNOT deliver. It will be a really bad product, it will basically be Starfield with fireballs. Everyone will buy it because it is coasting off Skyrim nostalgia, but then after that the Elder Scrolls franchise will pop and Bethesda won't be able to get the hype back. GTA will go the same way. You can coast on name recognition for one really shitty game, it's after that that the trouble starts

They will make tes6 that will print money. But people will be meh for it.
But they will remake morrowind, oblivion and skyrim using tes6 engine and those will print money. And then it will be 2035 allready.

They will never remake Morrowind or do anything with Fallout 1 or 2 because Todd Howard has a seething hatred for those games for being considered truly good and beloved while people rip on the later stuff he had more aggressive control over. Remaking Morrowind would be admitting Morrowind has value, which would make Todd cry blood with rage. Instead expect an NPC in TES6 to run up to you out of nowhere to breathlessly rant about how if you like games from before 2010 you're a piece of shit

Todd isnt boss anymore. Microsoft is.

You think Microsoft gives a solitary shit about honoring some cult classic game from the stone ages? They're more likely to turn Elder Scrolls into a live service game that they cancel two years into development

Skyrim makes money. Morrowind is beloved exclusively by a dying cadre of old boomers
