Why the Gaming Industry is Destroying itself! | An Uncomfortable Discussion
17$2000 worth of DLC, Perpetual Crunch Time, Predatory Microtransactions, and More. The Gaming Industry is on a collision course to self-destruction. Not with a bang or backlash, but with something far worse: The normalization of terrible game development practices that will take the worst parts of the industry and incorporate them into our very culture.
In this special episode of Creator Classroom, we take a step away from the teaching podium and discuss what went wrong, why it's happening, how it's harming everyone, and what can be done to stop it. Like it or not, gaming is now just as mainstream as movies or television. Unless we want to end up with the worst parts of gaming being our eternal reality, we need to change.
We can all work together, or we can all sink together. The ball is in our court. Our time is now!
