All the games
| 1 min read
I was reading how last year over 20,000 games were released on Steam and only about 600 have concurrent players. I think the issue with this is we all have a huge backlog of games from the pandemic. For this reason, I see no need to buy any games. I now considered myself a game collector and not a game player so much. I was also reading how the growth of the gaming industry during the pandemic is now leading to devastating cutsbacks and layoffs. And now you have AI on top of that, all contributing to the layoffs and downsizing of game studios. I was also told that the vibe coding of "cozy games" that are popping up all around the web for free and without ads is causing yet another pain point for Indi developers'. Why spend money on a game when you can write code to your specifications for $20 a month?
