A bit of a hot take, but video games need a change. they have stagnated as their profit have soared but like most things....profits are a lagging indicator and like Disney marvel.....were on the slide down.
this doesn't mean video game industry is dead....just that it needs to shed it's skin and remove the profit hungry leeches....
the big names will lose lots of money and will do all they can to consolidate anything left unscathed by their ineptitude and attempt acquisitions....it is time for a new dawn....break up the corpos....I look forward to a fresh empire of creators...
I unironically blame the consumer. I guess also some parents/game companies for exploitative practices on children. There's a mountain of games out there that aren't garbage but they keep shoveling money towards the games that are pretty much explicitly anti-user.

That's the preferred mode for a lot of managers. There are only a few company leaders who can push a company forward and keep it innovative. You could argue Apple is at that stage. Profits are strong but their innovation output is pretty low compared to the resources they have.
