Huah? I'm not upset about the economics though. I'm just describing what I see. What upsets me is the drop in meaningful/just games to play. I really like playing and making games, and seeing a valuable thing be created.... It's not happening often any more in the Steam games space. It genuinely hurts to go from GTA V, RimWorld, Stardew, CS and HL (ect) to empty, hollow games.
It's okay with me if it crashes. My core ethos is that cream rises to the top. It should be hypothetically possible to make a video game that sells in the great depression or whatever economic nightmare. I wouldn't try to do that, because it's basically insane to try... but if you're going to make a game, don't half-ass it. Have something to say!
It has to be worth playing and buying even in hard times.. Just making "AN game" isn't enough. The Hollywood screenwriters would beat a premise to death before green-lighting it. I only say that to point out that the phenomena exists in other industries too.

We can detect ingenuity even when we don't understand it. That's why I'm not too worried about AI. With almost every aspect in life--just focus on being a real, genuine person and the rest will work itself out.

Most people's indiosyncracies aren't conducive to making enough money to sustain oneself - that's why we have the job market, where people sell their time, and spend it doing stuff that other people actually want to pay for.
