Tbh even before the culture war, videogames were on a steep downward slope. The App Store proved that even if it turns off a thousand potential customers, microtransactions can be overall profitable if just ten people are retarded enough to be your whale. Companies have become infested with rot, the other day I saw a video that started with a girl going "I started work at 7 am and didn't finish until midnight" and then it was just random get together and team building exercise after random get together and team building exercise (With a disgusting amount of random drinks thrown in).Throw in the inevitable CEO's eyes turning to "eastern sensibilities" (Aka soggy dogshit games pandering to China) and videogames were always going to collapse around 2015-2030. At least way the blame is properly attributed.
