Question, how did mobile gaming, a medium of games that runs on devices almost everybody has on them at all times completely destroy consumer confidence in the medium and atrophy innovation and growth in said medium for years and years?
The answer?
It was full of people like Justin Kan that look into the future of gaming and had such miserable imaginations that all they could envision larger, more predatory monetization models instead of yah know... new games and new experiences.
Maybe crypto bullshit is the future of video games, but that will only be because capitalism burned out and exploited every last passionate game developer who wanted to make a good game because they love games.
