The Gaming Industry's dirty little Secret explained 

13 minutes ago. Damn. Will definitely check the new channel out

Its not that hard to figure this out: 1) On the one hand, we have psychopaths with lots of money. On the other hand we have an ever decreasing global IQ 2) .... 3) Profit

Why everything?

Technology market have this characteristic. Other markets, like food and media, is absolutely by government intervention.

@@Yakoaxxi my head cannon also I just watched a little video on how many of the game companies are owned by bigger ones, that make satellites of themselves basically it's the same way described here. For example, take two makes the models of honor series or whatever, take two owned by Activision which owned by microsoft. Just a small example

@@Nelvinkumar I don't know. I can't imagine it personally, but you would think someone would be content with x amount of money and no more worries with their life beyond what to eat everyday but it seems that once you get a taste of it you can't stop. Similar to how Large Language Models require these vast amounts of data, and companies have boiled down to only a couple so once those have all been thrown into LLM , where will they get new data

Glad I wasn't the only one lol

As a helicopter person I find your comment insensitive

Help us by sharing the video ❤️

@@ginxtvarchive well i post the youtube links of some of the videos on this channel in my private discord server and some of my friends are sort of into ginx now hope that helps and plz keep making videos 👍

Because there are very few people in the world like us who actually understand the fine details and have the interest in game economics and the state of the industry for the Algorithm to feed it to us naturally.

Very much appreciated 🙏

i agree

Because it's paid by them

Blackrock and Vanguard i would guess, but really the cabal who run everything.

small hat people

We really do need a mass intervention to stop the games industry in its current state to at least control the quality of the games and punish inherently evil methods(I'd target them as a starting point to then attack big tech by first removing the smaller ends problem

What we need is to stop giving money to games with predatory monetization tactics and instead of that, support games with a more consumer friendly business models, even if that means to going indie or stop buying beloved franchises.

​@@luisoncpp At a certain point, yeah. Consumers wanting people to stop them from supporting this crap is kind of laughable. This isn't an addiction, people are being willfully ignorant.

@@luisoncpp Agreed. So apparently I've been living under a rock as a pc gamer. I never really put two & two together until now as I'm typing this out. It all started when I bought a xbox series x.. 6 months ago. So what does one do with a series x... I guess collect... the games are cheap so why not. The past 4 months I've been collecting for the xbox one games. Today I decided I was gonna organize it by Microsoft, Bandai namco, Sqaure enix, WB games, Capcom etc... As I'm doing research for microsoft's franchises...on what games they owned and what games I still needed to buy. So I got confused on whether or not We happy few was owned by either 2k or microsoft. Which lead me down a rabbit hole....more than I bargained for You see I thought 2k only made sports games... Little did I know they own bioshock, borderlands, Sid meier's Civilization, mafia.... now you could imagine how shocked I was to discover that Rockstar & 2k are owned by take two interactive while here I am thinking Rockstar was this independent company that just took forever to make games like Bethesda making elder scrolls. ^ how does someone like me don't notice ya ask... simple I don't really play a wide variety of games until recently. Little did I know that Take Two Interactive owned both 2k, gearbox, & Rockstar So now I go on steam... you look at Red dead Redemption 2 and it says Developed & published by Rockstar... so now I realized why I never noticed to begin with. These big hideous greedy green goblin gaming parent companies are all hiding behind publisher logo's.. to give off the illusion to the consumer that there are more independent gaming companies in the gaming industry than there truly is. So basically it took me 4 months to slowly realize how even more dog shit the gaming industry truly is... For example: I just came across Ghostbusters the Videogame for the xbox one... and wasn't sure how I would organize it by publisher... because.. on the front it says Mad Dog... okay who is that.. idk.. whatever Turn it to the back It says & shows Saber Entertainment with the logo... so now I recognized the logo ^ name from another game called Redout 2 Deluxe editon for the xbox one. Then I question we'll who the fuck is Saber Entertainment on the Ghostbusters: The video game wikipedia... clicked on Saber Entertainment = Parent Company Embracer Group.

Support the Indie developers

people buy them are responsible, who else to blame but yourself

'Past couple of years' ????? Someone's been living under a rock for 15 years, but I do agree with you on everything else.

@@pennygeno5629 Your comment is as dismissive as it is uneducated. People don't buy them to support those less than decent business practices - OBVIOUSLY. People buy those games because, so far, they don't really have good alternatives. Sure, the indie scene is getting better and better, but, sometimes, what you really want is a AAA game. People buy those games because they are still more loyal to some franchises that used to be so great and the consumers still hope they could reach the same level of greatness those titles once held. People buy DLC because, sometimes, that's the only way to actually have a finished game ! Remember the previous Mortal Kombat ? If you wanted the actual ending, you had to buy the Aftermath expansion. And that's just one example among others. Instead of coldly telling people in a rather accusatory way that they should go blame themselves, why don't you see where the problems really lie ?

​​@@jackwilliam4436The gaming industry has barely increased the price of its games for such a long time, even though the prices should be at a completely different level according to inflation. Companies can't lose money just because of inflation, and they also can't increase the price of the games too much, so they resort to DLCs and Microtransactions in order to keep their games' price relative to inflation. You can keep looking at it through a selfish perspective, or look at the objective reasons why game companies do what they do instead of selling a full game for a flat price like it used to be.

Then you run into the second wall: the middleware empires of the Adobes, Autodesks, Havoks, AWS, etc.

I think while indy games are made independently they still require these platforms for distribution. So indirectly they are still contributing to the economy of the giants that have these underhanded practices baked into their way of doing business.

Fair points. Valve makes a lot of money from indy games

Because most indie games are not that good to be honest, and since they don't have the marketing power to compensate for their lack of uniqueness, they can't compete as equal.

@@odianumeighodalowhich is exactly why the industry has enabled them for the lost 20 or so years

You can do it!

If it were a few years ago I would laugh at you. Now with AI developments you might actually have a chance at it.

Blackrock has entered the chat

In hindsight nothing of value would have been lost

to be honest ms should have let ps buy them 💀💀 Bethesda does not seem like a good investment so far other ran re-releasing skyrim for the 69th time

What great game hasnt been a rush job 😂

Not a bad conspiracy tho

Gundam

Quite a lot to be honest! I hadn't imagined the just how many big things would happen that are in the spirit of the video. Big takeovers, shuttering studios, mass layoffs. Larger game press outlets swallowing smaller ones. Incredibly predatory publisher and selling practices. On the flipside, there's been some positives. Independent developers putting the huge companies to shame, and a few small publishers trying to undo harmful practices. I like to think the good can outweigh the bad, or at least enact some sort of meaningful change, but I worry that the industry is accelerating towards quite a scary place.

😭

Just be patient

@@cringeproof100 yea one day this channel will be big,we just have to wait
