Destructoid's Brittany Vincent; " A popular rumor in gaming nowadays is the decline of the Japanese gaming industry. This seems to be espoused by news outlets, financial reporters, and even Japanese developers themselves. Through various interpretations of the data Japan does seem to be falling out of love with the hobby, especially on consoles. However, the truth is much more benign than the rumors would lead you to believe."
"The Montpellier-based (France) indie games publisher Dear Villagers and Malmö-based (Sweden) indie games developer Greena Games, are today very delighted and proud to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their storybook city builder/strategy game “FABLEDOM“, is coming to PC via Steam on May 13th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Warhorse Studios has announced Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the sequel to its popular first-person RPG set in medieval Bohemia. Here are the first details on the world, the story, and much more.
Finally!
2024 just got better!
It could be perfect if Warhorse decided and gives us a current gen update for the original game.
Gunfire has revealed gameplay of the Remnant 2 DLC 2 new archetype called the Invoker, as well as what abilities this class can do.
Hell Yeah!!!
The Ivoker´s set and skills looks badass! Some of his/hers skills buffs elemental damage. I can´t wait to try it out with the Ritualist archetype!
They've got better things to do then play video games.

PS4 could be the reason, I don't know, but who's knows?
Of course is in declined, mediocre games, japanese games flooded with almost anime girls only games, developers are lazy as hell almost all of them want to move mobile gaming(squareenix), Nintendo flooding the japanese market with short period games, in other words the japanese developers are killing the gaming market, only a very few of them want to push the envelope in terms of gaming yes I'm talking about Kojima, there are other circumstances that is affecting games in Japan but all of them are pointing to the developers fault. Putting games on the PS4 I think is even easier and cheaper than ever before, I mean look what western/UK Indies are doing.
So developing costs getting higher I think is a complete BS, Japan just got lazy in game development thats the main issue.
