So that’s why I keep pivoting back to: How does this industry get back to growth?

This one is easy. You get back to growth by remembering the demand side of supply and demand. Sell gamers what they actually want rather than dictating what they will get and ignoring all of their complaints about it. You can please your customers and thrive or you can please the ivory tower intelligentsia and die. You can't do both, so choose.

You mean gamers don't want space bullshit that have expressionless characters like Starfield?

That's why they hate capitalism: they cannot push their politics AND run a successful business at the same time, so they choose to run businesses into the ground and blame everyone but themselves.

They will choose to die and I won't weep for them.
