Video Description
🎮 The video game industry is on the edge of collapse — and no one is really talking about it. From skyrocketing prices and mass layoffs to the rise of TikTok and short-form dopamine hits, the way we experience games is changing fast. In this deep-dive, I wanted to talk about the economic signals, spending pullbacks, and studio panic that point to a massive shift ahead.
