Hmm I see, that's interesting. Seems like the games industry it self is in a pretty bad state despite that

PC hardware companies are struggling. The ones that sell fans, cases, thermal paste etc because no one is building a new PC right now. But everyone still has the PC they had before the last 2 years and can still play and buy games.

Game developers simply have to stop pushing the minimum specs up for releases over the next few years.

If you include mobile gaming, things look a lot better.
Mobile gaming is a mess. Android is still open, but Apple devices are locked down, and bigG keeps trying to close sideloading. Subsciption micropayments ads enshittification has hit mobile gaming HARD. Not sure mobile gaming is in good shape...?
