The Critical Drinker (and his gaming offshoot The Critical Gamer) drops another take on the AAA games industry imploding under massive budgets, endless layoffs, live service flops, creative inertia, and executive mismanagement. I break it all down, point out where he's missing the mark, and why his perspective as more of a movie grifter than a true gamer colors the whole discussion.
Is the industry really collapsing? Or is it just evolving painfully? We dive into the numbers, the real problems (woke nonsense, DEI hires, sky-high costs, microtransactions), and what gamers actually want.
If you're tired of broken promises, delayed games, and studios chasing trends instead of making fun titles — this one's for you.
Drop your thoughts below: Is The Critical Drinker qualified to call out the games industry? What's the worst AAA flop you've seen lately?
