    Maybe if or whenever Alan Wake 2 isn’t only on Epic Game Store, or when we stop having games locked to a single store.

    Yes, it was indeed a good year for games. But 2024 is supposed to be not a worse one, too. Last year, I tried a few new games, and they were cool. But I can’t already wait for the new GTA and Resident Evil ( I hope that there will be a new game). And I also tried casino games for the first time, and I really liked them. When I was looking for the one to try, I came across the page with no deposit bonus codes 2024 usa, and after reading all that info, I managed to choose the best site. I love the games and bonuses, and I really enjoy playing.

    article gives no explanation why they think the gaming industry has apparently peaked? every year is gaming’s best year. it is still the best time to be a gamer, and games will continue to be fun and new and innovative next year. gaming has not peaked

      There are a few factors that I think make this year a standout for quantity of great games released:

      1. Tons of games that were delayed due to the pandemic released this year, giving us several years’ worth of ideas and work all at once.
      2. The games industry saw massive layoffs this year–that’s a ton of talent cut loose that now isn’t going towards future games, and another step towards the inevitable reckoning over the abusive labor environment that games are made in. Whether that’s a collapse or labor organization and the establishment of a long-overdue union, it’s going to create a churn period that isn’t going to produce a lot of games.
      3. The glut of great games has saturated the market, meaning that games are returning less per investment dollar. This makes investors less eager to put their money towards new games, which leads to fewer games being made.
