What the article fails to point out is the increase in lifetime consumption by these games that is indicated indirectly by these revenues. We didn't get more time so the time spent on gaming is taken from other activities like human interaction. The human interaction is the engine of a society. If this is missing and we add in remote work, replace any physical work due to robots and AI, replace teachers with bots, and so on, the newer the generation the fewer social skills will learn. If AI will be used more and more to increase productivity or to smooth human interactions I believe that slowly the ability to solve conflicts of the newer generations will decrease. The isolation will lead to depression and a deeper retreat from society. People will become lonelier than ever with all the consequences derived from this process.

Following my LinkedIn account, I came across this fascinating chart about the videogame industry. It is impressive to see how the market has increased its revenue in the last five decades, especially between 2016 and 2022, thanks to the mobile category that presents $101B of revenue (56% of the total). Reading the Visual Capitalist article, I remember the business case I made for my internship selection process (2021), where I had to choose a type of category for the company invests, videogames or car toys. During this period, I chose the video game category, understanding that the company already had an influence and dominance on the car toys and, because of that, it could explore the opportunities existence inside this other one, focus on the gain of competition based on Porter's 5 Powers and the BCG Matrix Analysis. Also, looking at this chart below, it is impressive how the video game industry has grown and expanded so much. Beginning with the Arcade, passing its leadership for the console, as Nintendo, then for the PC and now for the mobile, which is the largest category of the videogames market. What can we expect for the next 50 years? It is an interesting question that I made for myself. #videogames #industry #market #marketing #revenue #BI

With 183 Bln $ in revenues in 2022, video game industry faces some challenges related to the diversity of devices & platforms. Mobile video games have 55,3% out of the total with 101 bln $ according to Visual Capitalist. Could VR/AR become the dominant revenue stream in 10 years? #videogames #revenues #analysis #thestorybehindthenumbers

Many first party titles are now going multi-platform. I think this is because publishers/game companies are realizing that people are using several platforms to play games and now they have better chance to sell their titles if a game is available in all platforms. For example, it is interesting to see FF series and GoW series that were used to be PS exclusive titles, now coming to PC(Steam). But I think Nintendo is a different story...haha #PCGame #SteamGame #FinalFantasy #GodofWar #PlayStation #Xbox #Nintendo https://lnkd.in/e-sMvKTa

This title was a very interesting challenge for me, the porting done from Construct3 to GMS2 made me understand how engines often try to univocally manage themselves, forgetting that nowadays there are very widespread methods useful for supporting multiple situations both in programming than in graphics. it was very interesting to "play" with construct3 and understand its logical and organizational method.
