Why Does This Keep Happening to the Gaming Community? | Cold Take

Been saying it for years, the chances of a new breakout IP joining the legendary big boys of gaming (Zelda, Mario, Halo, GTA etc) gets slimmer and slimmer every year. Successful games just aren’t enough, they literally have to break into the halls of culture before they have a chance of enduring beyond 2-3 games. Same goes for studios, gaming is just too volatile, it’s all a big gamble and winner takes all.

Great video, good work frost! :D

With the cadence of George Carlin you have laid out the business model of end stage capitalism that is easy to understand. Bravo. And when you spoke of the passion of game developers it sounded a lot like those of us that work in emergency services. “We don’t have to pay them because they love it and will show up no matter what.” Until we don’t. And it’s a major problem for many areas. And that situation is coming for many more industries. Just remember, these industries can’t exist without us at the end of the the workers and the consumers.

This video was a piece of artistry! Amazing work, Frost!

I ain't no fancy staff writer putting out a slightly bleaker-than-expected video, I'm just a humble internet freelancer, but my two cents: Because this is the first post-Reagonomics industry and has been nakedly capitalistic and WAY more unregulated than the union-rich movie and personality-driven music industries?

"The way you swing to the rescue whenever someone talks bad about Sony makes me think your mama was a Playstation console" was absolute gold. Your writing remains impeccable, what a treat these videos are.
