Apparently prophets of doom haven’t faded out, they just went online. Hugely popular gamer Boogie2988 has just foretold of the second major crash of the gaming industry. The first one occured in the early 80s when video games looked to be a passing fad and developers couldn’t give them away. The NES system largely saved the industry. Now we’re looking towards another industry crash, but there doesn’t seem to be any NES-like messiah in sight. So things could get interesting.
A large reason for this modern crash, says Boogie2988, is loss of consumer confidence. Too many overpriced and shitty games are clogging up the pipeline and consumers are having a hard time determining what to spend their money on. This is just one of a few facets that Boogie2988 has noticed that seem to bear relation to that earlier crash (we don’t want to give his entire video away).
