This game is going to do irreversible damage to the gaming industry as every company rushes to implement these extremely greedy subscriptions and a deluxe edition that is basically the full game. I can’t wait for more Ubisoft slop that costs $100 to play and requires 2 subscriptions to have access to all the content.
If we assume GTA6 is literally the perfect game, it’s probably one of a few games in history that can get away with such egregious pricing schemes, yet so many AAA games will attempt (and fail) to copy it (and probably detonate several studios in the process).
I'm just anticipating the entire industry going down in flames at this point. None of this is sustainable. I just hope there's still a PC gaming market when the dust finally settles, what with hardware prices going through the roof lately.
Generation Alpha is going to play pen and paper games and go outside. Video games are going to be strapped to the same whales and any suckers willing to pay for the online consoles.
You're more optimistic than I am. My niece and nephew are gen alpha and they're just as bad as the younger half of gen Z when it comes to iCrap frying their brains since before they could walk. My mom has tried board games with my niece and hasn't had much success. My nephew is only 4 and he's autistic so his best hope is getting into PC gaming and becoming one of us in a decade or so.
That is more of a parenting problem. It might also be regional but I’ve seen it less at the stores and generally seen the parks more busy.
As for pen and paper, it still is super popular, much to Wizards trying hard to squash itself. Neon Odyssey made millions on a three book tabletop set kickstarter and some other tabletops I follow get funded day 1. Board games are hard to get into but they have to show interest first.
