The lie has been buy it or they stop making it. It led to the risk of no game. The result a bloated industry. Gamers chose game at increasingly shitty levels of both quality and price to please shareholders. Here we are
The video game industry is the only industry where people will paint you as the bad guy for refusing to financially support companies that charge you more while taking away your right to own what you buy.
Sorry I don't want to pay $80 to rent a fucking game, dude. My bad.

True more kinds of games should be made. But that's more of a shareholder problem. Most people are mad at the further degradation of the industry. Not at more games made. AI is just algos and code gens on steroids. The way it's being used is the issue. No one was mad in 2012
The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

algorithms and code generators making games has been the case for 20 years. I will say acting like this is new is disingenuous. Your games have been made by algorithms and generators since I was young. It just didn't come with a controversy to bandwagon.
Brandon Stirrup, who says he has spent more than 10 years at Xbox and Microsoft, is calling out the gaming industry for pretending it isn’t using AI.
“If I’m Fired Tomorrow It Will Be Because I Told You The Truth That Nobody Wants You To Know”
He says gaming is “the only industry pretending to not use AI” and that developers need to accept AI as part of the future.
He also claims that games can already be created with simple prompts, including custom games tailored to what players want.
Stirrup says he’s willing to take the backlash for speaking openly about it, even saying he could be fired for telling people what “nobody wants you to know.”
“We use AI, just as all companies do in 2026.”

I will never understand why Microsoft let one of their flagship IPs Halo go to shit
What was @Halo even doing all these years if they only have “Concepts of Concepts” to show for Halo 7?

"I never played Ocarina of Time" 💀 😭
I never played Ocarina of Time, but 2 hours with the remake proves there’s so much more to this masterpiece than nostalgia. bit.ly/47lw0a3

Ahh yes then they will run out of buyers and the fire sale starts
BREAKING: Banks are taking back more homes.
Lenders repossessed 5,794 homes in August, up 42% from a year ago and 22% from July, per ATTOM.
That’s far faster than the 13% rise in overall foreclosure filings, meaning more distressed homeowners are reaching the end of the process.

Rules for Thee but not for Me as usual
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT…
If i miss one credit card payment, that follows me for 7 years and tanks my ability to get an apartment.
But if a bank gets caught laundering money for actual criminals, they pay a fine that’s less than a rounding error on their quarterly earning and keep operating like nothing happened?
ONCE AGAIN, consequences are only for people who can’t afford to buy their way out of them. I’M SO SICK OF THE HYPOCRISY.

They really thought they could be bloated and complacent and we'd be forced to accept shit for higher and higher amounts

Rhetorical Blade retweeted
Xbox reportedly had much bigger plans for Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes than fans may have expected.
The projects, reportedly known internally as “Project Manihi,” were being developed by Halo Studios before layoffs and the subsequent restructuring around Halo.
The planned Halo 2 remake could have included:
-Dual-wielding
-A more complete multiplayer experience
-Classic gameplay elements
The Halo 3 remake was reportedly even more ambitious, with:
-Multiplayer
-Forge
-Theater
-Firefight
-Additional missions
The idea was apparently to make the remakes feel like major flagship releases rather than simple visual upgrades. The plans were ultimately scrapped following the layoffs.

I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening. We’re not being priced out of luxury. We’re being priced out of normal. A house, car, Groceries, Childcare, Insurance,These weren’t extravagant expectations 20 years ago.

Make no mistake this entire push by the industry is to kill used games and monopolize gaming to their respective storefronts. Share holder value strikes again
"The Father of PlayStation" Ken Kutaragi has backed Sony's controversial decision to scrap discs on PS5:
"I understand that physical discs have become a metaphor for ‘owning’ games... but I don't think it's economically reasonable." bit.ly/4zB7qhl
