I support skg but also I stopped buying (aaa) games a long time ago, and I can't be the only one. We're the people who have enough disposable income but simply won't support shit but beancounter managers are too stupid to realize it would be easy to get if they'd just show a little decency.

    Yeah. There was a statistic about Steam a while ago showing that the percentage of recent releases by playtime was steadily declining. People have their classics, they outgrow competitive games, they don't want to upgrade their PCs as much with current prices. This was masked for a time by overall steady growth in the gaming sector, but this is slowing down.
