Just as you say, it's a matter of it just being comparatively very easy to make games. These questions have easy answers:
> Like who made too many games?
Everybody.
> Who should stop making games?
Nobody.
It's simply that more games get made than anyone can possibly consume. That counts as "too many [to consume]". That doesn't mean anything should change.
It only feels weird because we recently came from a time where it felt like you could play every game coming out (except if you allow flash games, that actually hasn't been true for a longer time than it seems).
But nobody is complaining that "we made too many t-shirt designs in 2024 and I can't wear them all."
- MichaelZuo 2y agoAmateur musicians do complain all the time about not getting enough attention… at least in every country that I’ve heard of?
- recursive 2y agoSome of everyone is complaining about some of everything. Some people want more attention. I don't think there's a serious proposal to limit the amount of music made. There will always be people making music for the love of it. And since distributing it is now free, you'll need some kind of special angle if you want to get paid. My point is that not all musicians are complaining. And nor are all the game publishers.

Ubisoft is falling in real time and their grand plan to recover is "make 2 Assassin's Creed's a year for 5 years". Denial is worse than ignorance. No one does everything. But there is a valid reason to understand these complaints. That's all that matters.
