MODERATORS
Some people have this weird idea that big economic shake up (in this case, "people spending less money on games" is an economic shake up for the game markets) will magically only affect major companies.
Sorry, a recession means mom and pop stores (dev studios for this version) close while the giants keep going because they can operate at a loss for years without going under.
Smaller studios will fold long before ubisoft/ea/whoever is the current focus of ire.
