Or worse, bailed out. They're clearly at "too big to fail" status right now, and the US government might have put up a show with the Microsoft-ABK merger/takeover, but when that deal went through it was pretty clear corporate interests will reign supreme.
A lot of boomers (and therefore most politicians) and older still consider video games a childish diversion, but the simple fact is that it is far larger than film, streaming, television, and (iirc) music industries combined.
There won't be a crash and, if there is, we will end up paying for it in both a decrease in quality, increase in price, and a lack of accountability on the offender's part (corporations).
I don't think these companies will need a bail out. They will simply downsize with mass layoffs and cancelled projects like they intermittently do and gamers freak out each time.
Hey don't let it go to your head like you did to theirs. Stay humble! π€£π
I will try.π
