Life After the Video Game Crash

codecasting writes "There's an interesting, very satirical story over at David Wong's Pointless Waste of Time where he makes a good case for the upcoming death of the video game industry. His key points include gaming platforms largely reaching a technological plateau, the aging of the 'Original Gamers' audience, and the slew of games that are just copies of the same game from last year, but with a new title and different cars/guns/bikinis/etc. An interesting and humorous read."

    The article is clearly stupid. There is nothing to argue about. Just look at the revenues of large game companies.

    I swear I saw this on TV the other day...

    There was a commision at 2am on the local channel asking if your tired of that 'dead-end job?' It goes on to tell you how Billy-Bob's Vocational School can get you a degree in nursing, computer repair, graphics and computer game design!

    We are, indeed, heading for a crash in the gaming industry if this proves to be true.
