The old video game industry still blows my mind. Competition was so fierce, there were tons of high quality AAA games releasing each year until things suddenly slowed down in the PS4/Xbone era. Granted, a lot of consoles failed and a lot of companies went under but it must have been wild to see Counter Strike, Baldur’s Gate 2, Diablo 2, Deus Ex, Perfect Dark, Red Alert 2, etc. all launch in the same year.

The indie scene today is great, but the amount of AAA games coming out these years are much fewer, and there’s a 50/50 chance it’s going to be a total flop.

The video’s soundtrack of covers of 2000s music is masterful 👏
