Yep, exactly. And the scary thing is it's really turtles all the way up. We think of the publishers as big and evil, but maybe it's the investors. We think of the investors as big and evil, but maybe it's somebody else. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who is big and evil, just that the whole game market is slowly collapsing. Indie games have a much better time getting something original out there without microtransactions, but the market is flooded with indie games, so nobody indie really makes much money. AAA companies get their games noticed easier, but their publishers take all the money. Gamers have to choose between a plethora of shitty asset-flips and AAA games with their favorite IP that are built to nickel-and-dime them. Everybody's just fucked every which way. Nobody at any level is really in control of the videogame market... we're all just at the mercy of it.
