There's a lot of factors contributing to the states of the games industry right now, a huge one is simply that people aren't playing new games as much. — Fortnite is ~8 years old and still sees 9.3% of playtime. It's incredibly hard to compete with that. www.gamesindustry.biz/…

Last year, it was widely reported that 61% of gamers' playing time in 2023 was spent on games that were 6+ years old The firm behind that stat has revised the 2023 count to 55% 2024's count: 57% Still rough for new games but there's a silver lining https://www.gamefile.news/...
