The only survivors will be developer studios that want to make well written, fun games. None of the AAA studios do that right now. Not one.
Gaming will have to crash, and it will crash, that is inevitable right now. It is a good time to be an indie developer, though, because gamers will buy your stuff if you make something good and fun.
Fromsoft is the only exception I can think of.
Let the AAA studios die, they deserve it and I have always maintained that you don't need a massive budget to make decent quality games anymore anyway.
This. Can't even think of any remotely new AAA game I put any substantial time into over the last couple years. Maybe Age of Wonders 4, if that had a high enough budget to count as AAA, though I doubt it? But, I've been going through a Divinity: Original Sin 2 run with some friends where we're well north of a hundred hours at this point, spent a good amount of time in Palword, Death must Die and Against the Storm. And I've got a huge backlog to get through.
So let the AAA studios crash and burn. They're just obsolete at this point.
