The cycle of mass layoffs in game development isn’t a problem of the industry’s inherent “instability.” It’s a problem of exploitation.

    Capitalism doesn’t get checked by consumers, there are a billion things too much to properly pay attention to and no viable alternatives.

    It gets checked by either regulations and laws or replacing it with something else.

      There are so many viable alternatives. I’ve got an increasingly long list of things I won’t tolerate in games anymore, and I’m nowhere near running out of games to play. The big problem is being able to identify which of those checkboxes are checked or not; PC Gaming Wiki is working for this purpose lately, though it shouldn’t be necessary.
