it’s the investors. similar to crypto, gaming gets funded only in hype cycles when eveyone has fomo. so they end up just throwing money at anyone with a big eough name-resume & appearance when the iron is hot. nothing moves for months, then everything moves together in a single direction. sound familiar? then they realize, after a few years of development, that they’ve funded 67 different L1s that all compete with each other, or in this case, whatever new genre with a burgeoning market that they’re trying to chase (fortnite, monopoly go, fall guys, etc.) historically, previous “video game legends” who have raised a bunch of capital have almost always failed to deliver a game. read about gaming crowdfunding history. simialr to crypto, they dont fund games that are looking to meet the market where its going, or even create a new one, they fund games building where the market has already been this is why we continue to see 858447 new launchers, L1s & creatorcoin apps https://gamesbeat.com/azra-games-raises-42-7m-for-next-generation-mobile-rpg-with-web3-features/n

yeah my hope is that likewise ai will help lower the cost and increase the speed of game dev need some route other than relying on investors, so many instances where games are ruined (f u EA) feel like the rate at which roblox is thriving is a also more accurate picture at gaming in the next decade
