Really bad news for all the gaming fans - hard times might be ahead. And it is not only a rumour, it is a prediction made by a former GTA lead writer, Dan Houser. Brace yourselves!
Former Rockstar lead writer Dan Houser, who worked on every single GTA game in history, also both Red Dead Redemption titles and L.A. Noire, just made a bleak prediction for the whole gaming industry. He was quoted saying that gaming may "either go somewhere really interesting or somewhere that gets overly focused on making money".
As shocking as this prediction is... Wait a minute, a "prediction"? You mean gaming can be focused even more on making money than it is now??? I mean... was the publication of that interview delayed? Like 20 years or something? Well, thank you, Dan, for drawing our attention to that problem, we will keep an eye on it and once a gaming company will focus too much on making money we will sound the alarm.

After months and years of neglecting and mistreating the players on Steam Steel Ocean closes in early May 2020.
I mean... you will, because it happened quite few times before. Yup, it is another idiot sharing classified data on the game forum. And in a way it is a surprising story.
While there are dozens of smaller and bigger dramas going on right now, from Twitch questionable ideas, TwitchCon, Phasmophobia discord, Mizkif suspicions, cheating in chess and many, many more, there is one that is so stupid that it is hard to ignore.
Another company, Pixie Interactive, just went under due to absolute morons in charge, who thought cryptocurrency is the way ahead. What can I say besides Pixie Interactive kicked the bucket, Pixie Interactive shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible. This is an ex-company!
No, Phasmophobia still exists, it does have some pretty loyal fanbase, it has about 16,000 active users, so... where is the demise you ask? Well, it is just around the corner, but the symptoms are, sadly, already here.
Do you know what is the laziest trite in writing a story? To finish it with "it was all just a dream". Unfortunately, some people don’t know that, and so we have another episode of KSI’s meltdown saga.
CD Projekt announced that an early stage of work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 has started and, to quote a classic, it’s déjà vu all over again.
While Google has a long history of being evil, past few years they really cranked up their evilness to a new level. This time by introduction of something as innocent as Page Annotations.
