Can games help tackle depression? Danny explores the link between video games and dealing with mental health issues.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -

This was well done and very interesting for a number of reasons...........(looking in the mirror)
Yes, and no. It had helped me through A LOT of tough times, yet at the same time there were times where I simply kept switching games or doing nothing at all, quitting after half a math, swapping discs....yeah, Games don't always help but when they do, they do it really well.
games help me alot
Not only for depression. I was sick for 4 bad years and the games kept my mind busy and far from bad and negative thoughts, really I appreciate the games :)
games are good, i love them and they help alot... but some people who use them to escape, lose their sense of reality and live their life in games, which can be worse :(
