It's over. The premium AAA video games are already dead.
The future will be mostly only mobileslop and indieslop because funding high end AAA games utilizing the newest tech just is not worth it anymore to the investors.
AAA gaming is dead
post your face when finally the AAA industry crumbles
An AAA game is the best selling game of the year retard. This article is dumb.
Maybe it's over for western AAA gaming.
new normal
freemasonic bullshit as usual
god, meteor, now.
The $350m, five-to-seven-year development cycle is no longer seen as viable beyond a handful of exceptions (see: GTA 6)
GTA 6 is gonna take like 7 years to make, engangement farming, lying about Rockstar again, glazing indies like always
and publishers' doomed pivots to live service punts has only exacerbated the financial troubles
Skill issue. Nintendo did just fine making real games and selling them without doing all the greedy shit other companies are doing. All those retarded companies have to do is move away from the most expensive countries in the world. No company should be in California lol.
The only thing that died is journalism and that's a good thing
I haven't bought a new game since 2009
Video games died a lot sooner than 2025 unless you're a retarded fucking zoomer.
Hope you aren't expecting a handclap or some how thinking this is a statement.
Their obsession with everything resting on gta 6's shoulder is beyond pathetic and worrying at this point, like what does the rest of the industry has to do if rockstar does a gallilion dollars in profit.
IT'S OFFICIAL
COMPUTER GAMES ARE DEAD
A game gets delayed
IT'S OVER THE INDUSTRY WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS
Calm your tits, it's not the end.
funding high end AAA games utilizing the newest tech
Games are partially a creative endeavour, you can't replace creativity and originality with fancy graphics, once the investor money dries up and medium budget games flourish the games will be better.
Out of the top 20 highest selling games of the year so far 2 are Japanese.
But yeah, western gaming is dying and Japanese gaming is winning... Right?
If GTA6 fails, it means they couldn't raise the price to 100$
fucking good. All good games from 2007 and before were made without the shit opinions from investors and their wants. I rather eat indieslop for the rest of my life than having to live again the last 13 years of AAA games.
People would prefer low effort mobile slop unfortunately, there are a lot of complaints directed at "ugly females" but zero towards anime waifus locked behind gambling machines.
AAA games are great; they are optimized, fair, and cheap in comparison to anime mobile games that people shill here.
but zero towards anime waifus locked behind gambling machines.
Are you shitting me? I read criticism towards gacha games fucking everywhere. Only coomers accept the current state of the mobile market.
Omg, I can't believe it. I will have the do with the other 6 AAA games (not to mention of the thousands of smaller titles) released this year alone.
mashallah
the AAA industry deserved to die years ago
Funny, because this really only affected consoles, and even then only in america.
gaming is DEAD
i can't even keep up with all the game shows/trailers that are coming out in the past year
What do articles like this (and Anon Babble) hope to gain by lying like this ?
GTA 6 will most likely be the last AAA game as we know them. Rockstar will never make another game. Bethesda will release one more TES and that will be it. Maybe there'll be more remasters and that's all we're gonna get from these bloated developers.
eurogamer
LMAO I remember when they were credible like 20 years ago. What went wrong?
No one cares about Zniggys Adventure, bong.
Rockstar probably had a slew of consultants all tear in to how phobic and bigoted GTA6 content is which led to the delay. They're having to take swatches of it back to the conference room to fix.
Journalists: clicks
Retards here: some internetz medal
I skimmed the article, it's even worse, just a guy crying because people with no interest in games (journalists, companies and investors) can't understand why people don't like what they make anymore.
This is what your average chud brain functions like: it actually thinks that the biggest problems in any major company or corporations are gays, blacks and trannies
Two more weeks
Mario Kart and MH will be the best sellers of 2025.
AAA is extreme garbage. It started a significant decline over a decade ago and has made absolutely no attempt whatsoever to address the dwindling quality since, in fact it has only continued to make decisions which result in worse and worse games over time.
The "newest tech" is also nigh-on synonymous with UE5 nowadays as well, which is an abomination that should have been aborted before it ever had a chance to inflict itself upon any actual video game.
gamers must suffer to line the pockets of billionaires further
Oblivion remaster will outsell them
Oi anon, you telling me you never played Cedric's Ham and Cheese Adventure on the ZX Speccy?
Good.
"The entire medium of video games is dead"

Intersting times
this post was fact checked and deemed false, the price is increasing everywhere, so it's not a result of tariffs
Doubtful. Rockstar puts fat horse balls and huge nigress asses in their games. They put in a scene where Trevor kills a former main character, and multitudes of instances of blatant racism. They literally laughed at a protest group's demands to tear their whole company down because they "accidentally" put fully-clothed sex into SA. Being offensive and bigoted is literally the entire point of these games. Without that bite, there is no satire.
american console
still hit with tariffs
How the fuck is gaming "dead" because of GTA 6 being delayed? GTA 6 probably won't even outsell GTA 5.
Are you niggers retarded? The best selling game of the year is an AAA game. A remastered AAA game is now Steams best selling game for 2 weeks in a row. Doom drops next week. Mario Kart and Death Stranding in June. Donkey Kong in July. MGS 3 Remake in August. Marathon and Borderlands in September. A new CoD later this year and Metroid Prime 4 too. You guys are just plain dumb.
(((american))) console
manufactured anywhere but America by American Whites
AAA games
go play Elona faggets
saw an article about it today, fun how i predicted it
GTAV2 delayed until 2026
pc port in 27 or 28

its just clickbait AI generated slop
you have to get smarter about these things
there is no "games journalists" out there with opinions that matter
I admire that anon.
Isn't it more expensive in Europe? lol
Strange. I keep playing Japanese and Eurogames just fine.
