The video game industry is collapsing in 2026 under the weight of their own arrogance and stupidity, and the "chuds" are cheering. Why? Because this is what needs to happen before better companies and better games can be made. The people who ruined the hobby with their politics need to lose their jobs and be exiled from the business.
Around 13,000 games developers are slated to be fired this year alone. Since 2022, the industry has cut over 57,000 workers due to imploding revenues and lack of consumer interest. Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA and a dozen other studios are cleaning house and booting out the rubbish.
The most recent example is the large Xbox cuts to ultra-woke Bethesda Softworks. Their layoffs (reportedly close to 440 workers) triggered socialist protests and accusations of discrimination against LGBT and minority employees.
The vast majority of these layoffs are being blamed on "restructuring", but the restructuring was caused by a plunge in gamer interest. And the decline in gamer interest is part of an ongoing boycott of woke propaganda in games. This is something the political left will never admit to, but the fact remains that the majority of developers who get woke, ultimately go broke. In other words, the majority of woke products fail.
Gaming studio Bioware, a veteran company in the industry, did not learn this lesson soon enough. Bioware officially announced this week that after 30 years, they will be shutting down.
