I feel spoiled after his REALLY long previous vids. This mans voice and delivery is golden
"they didn't die in 83, they respawned"
That is the same tier of writing as that gamergate episode of law and order.
"what did they do?" "they leveled up"
That complaint aside the rest of his video was pretty good.
It would be interesting to see a world where European developers and publishers took over the world because their market didn't falter and also with PC truly in charge of things. Surprised he didn't mention mobile games as a bubble either.
Nintendo may of also saved the console market, but at a massive cost of restricting who can develop for the system and I feel that it was a really bad turn for the industry.
That "Massive cost" of restricting who can develop is a positive, not a negative.
Remember when steam was actually curated? See services like GoG taking off due to being competitive and not having shovelware on them? See Apple with their walled garden that hasn't filled with fart button apps? Those are all companies that are interested in quality over quantity. When there's a bunch of garbage to accidentally waste money on, it's hard to save up and find good games.
Look to games like action 52, cat simulator and flappy X for examples of what happens if/when you don't curate.

That whole show gave off an even bigger and cringier feeling of "YEAH FUCK [insert special kind of evil]" than any american cop show that has 90% of the episodes dealing against terrorists.

Just look at the android app economy, Google Play is a joke.

Half Life 1 would of never of gotten off the ground had these closed platforms been in total control of the market.
While there always be infinitely many shitty indie games, there will be diamonds in the rough; restricting who can make games is bad, but allowing any random game on your platform is disrespect to those that actually put in the time and effort to make a great game of any size.

It was a worthwhile cost for that time. Now a days, as a result of how pervasive the internet is, it's very easy to find reviews on a game and get a general idea if it's good and you'll like it. That was not the case back then.
Imagine if you couldn't look up reviews for all of the cash grab shit on Steam today.

I stopped watching that show after that episode, granted the show was dying before hand with major actors on the show leaving and etc.
I don't think video game crash will happen but what might happen is AAA Video Games Crash because what they charge and milk per game will back fire hard.
I don't think it will it happen. Mainly because like the the previous game industry crash the PC seemed to live on like nothing happened so perhaps at one point the Xbox and Playstation sort of fade away but i'm pretty sure that the computer platform will continue to grow.
I heard a New Order song somewhere in there.

Yeah, sounds like some unknown funky remix of Blue Monday.
Its less about trends and more about companies getting lazy and releasing cash grabs. We live in a culture where people can get informed about games quite easily and there are like a billion niches/genres/companies.
A crash is pretty unlikely.

Its unlikely yes, but not impossible. Depending upon your platform, even the most casual gamer who doesn't dive into the reviews would be at a loss due to big name companies bribing for better ratings. Looking at you IGN.
I do like me some New Order.

I think a games crash would be fine anyway. The games and consoles with dedicated fanbases would live on and the ones that rely on ignorance would die.
