The fallout from Ubisoft's bloodbath of game cancellations and cost-cutting continues, as unionised workers call a strike against the publisher's restructuring.
The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.
I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.
Nah.

Again: And who is responsible for that innovation? The workers or the bosses?
It’s the bosses, but it appears to be an industry wide issue instead of just one company.
You’re starting to connect the dots.
Any company with a substantial amount of business school people making the decisions will be identical to each other.
The reason why people go to business school is to make sure as many businesses as possible are all fucking over their customers as hard as possible.
They get rewarded by our overlords for normalizing a culture of abuse.
For sure. It’s not like the bosses at other big companies are magically better. They select for the same criteria, so they get the same crap.
And honestly, AAA industry should go down for 99% of them. The way they treat their workers is not something that should be supported.
