Ehhh, a bunch of studios have things in the works. Just because very little came out in 2024 doesn't mean that the industry imploded or anything.

There were plenty of layoffs all over the tech industry. I'd argue that big tech was hit harder than games.

It takes many years now to release anything big. Good blockbusters are relatively infrequent. Star wars outlaws hit in October, It wasn't stellar but it wasn't a bad game. Civ 7 is due out in February.

At worst, I'd say we're in a little bit of a lull.

I believe it, the last games I remember buying and enjoying start to finish were Hi Fi Rush (1/25/2023) and Hogwart's Legacy (2/10/2023).

Coming up on 2 years with nothing memorable.
