With the unprecedented failure of Concord we're almost there in the west. The last of ESG funds and government welfare needs to dry up. Just like in 1983 the video game industry crash mostly happened in the US. Japan's video game industry was still going at that time.
The industry won't go away but it'll shift. The game studios in the USA and western Europe will shut down. The AAA studios will rise in China and the indies will go to Eastern Europe. Nintendo will keep doing its own thing.
China now has a foothold in the AAA space thanks to Black Myth Wukong. This was helped by all the free marketing that was given by the game journals. I'm sure a bunch of people bought BM:W just to spite Kotaku and Sweet Baby Inc.
I'm actually happy the Western game industry is becoming radioactive. The woke shit they pushed is demonic. It's not just bad media, it was designed to actually make people hate it. I don't think that other points in history made culture that was as insufferable as the woke games of current year. The turd on top of this trash pile is our tax dollars went into making this woke shit.
Rest in radioactive piss, western game industry...
Woke up to the news the news that Crowd Strike killed bunch of IT infrastructure. We weren't using that POS software in our company so the work day was not bad for me. I was talking to a co-worker about this news. I mentioned 'Crowd Strike is going go broke over this'. He said, 'No they won't.' "Won't they get sued into the ground for this." "Microsoft hasn't been sued over its bad updates."
I do a quick search to see if I could prove him wrong. All I could find is individuals taking Microsoft to court for forcing updates but no corporations have. It appears the software EULAs are so legally airtight that if a software update costs your company millions or billions...tough shit and suck it up.
Crowd Strike did several bad IT practices this update.
- Deploying on a friday (lol)
- not testing the update deployment (the update itself could've been fine but the update server might have corrupted the file)
- not doing a staged update
- the software probably makes it difficult or impossible to defer updates
As well Microsoft is still Microsofting with its driver BSODs.
I'm doubtful that either Crowd Strike or Microsoft will be held to account for the billions of dollars lost and millions of people that had their day ruined over this.
Basically, software companies are like vaccine companies and they are immune to legal liability.
Have a good weekend, unless you're in IT.

In the cartoon a dog is dancing to some music. Woke faggot comes up to him, turns off his music and starts screaming. The dog turns the music again (he just wants to be left alone). After a while, the wokie smashes the dog's radio.
Instead of the dog tearing out his neck, he just gets sad and starts crying. Until, his friend brings another radio to play music.
The video ends there but if there was a next scene, it'd just the wokie smashing the second radio and the dogs going to walmart to get a new radio (to be smashed).
Ignoring certain people doesn't work.
