Most of that is just corporate bullshit. The real reason the games industry shat the bed is that game developers continued to make overpriced, bug ridden, poorly performing and poorly written slop nobody wanted to play. And had the audacity to tell gamers if they should get used to not owning their games. Well the consumers have spoken, and it looks like those studios need to get used to not existing. For those developers that made games we actually wanted to play ... Guess what? They are doing just fine.
