It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the Doc to crack the sinister corporate conspiracies that are affecting all of our lives. Meanwhile the NerdLove interns and residents take over the comments section for their own nefarious purposes! This week’s suggested topic:
It’s 2017 and the video game industry is in a death spiral. The apocalypse has finally come and the studios are in dire shape. EA has collapsed into nothingness. Blizzard Entertainment has divided into factions fighting a bitter internecine war between the Overwatch and Warcraft devs. Cliffy B’s broken both of his arms in a bizarre X-Games incident. Miyamoto was last seen diving down a pipe and hasn’t been seen in weeks. Star Citizen is facing sanctions as attempts to claim soverign status as the first Internet-based nation. The last anyone’s seen of the BioWare head honchos, they were running for the Mexican border in a car loaded with cash and guns and the only sound coming from Ken Levine’s office is the unnerving “click” of a hammer falling on a revolver’s empty chamber.
The only person left to save the games industry is… you.
You’ve got a AAA game’s resources and budget and a creative blank check from the publishers.
What do you do. What do you do??
