Video game troubles

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Tue Jul 31, '12, 9:30 am

Another article on how the video game field is facing troubles and may not be doing so well right now:

So, anyone have any ideas of what the video game industry could possibly do to help get those sales up again???

The bubble has burst. Lately, people are buying games (and dlc, microtransactions, etc), but not playing them. The industry feeds that with their lazy marketing strategies.

It worked for some time, but now the tendency is that the market shrinks to what is really sustainable.
