| Topic | Are we at the beginning of another Gaming Renaissance? |

But that also coincided with the explosion of the Wii and the new market that helped create (which likely now exists on mobile devices) and the growth of independent games. I do agree with you that this argument is a bit simplistic. Video games is a huge industry with many mini-boom and bust periods, often happening simultaneously in different markets. This "renaissance" is occurring at a time when console manufactures have lost half their market from generation to generation. Independent games make up the majority of well-reviewed games each year, but with more and more indie games flooding the market, developers are starting to talk about an 'indiepocalyse' where it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain an audience from release to release. I've always been skeptical of this "actually, games are good now" argument. --- ICON: We've got movie sign! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
