I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

I really like smaller, focused games. I don't need a game to be every genre, and I don't need to sink over 100 hours into it. I'd rather play something like Celeste than yet another open world collectathon with observation towers to climb, crafting, shitty combat, boring story, bad minigames, and running back and forth again and again on mindless escort treks that exist solely to pad the game runtime. I'd rather spend $5-20 on a 4-10 hour game than $70 on a game that overstays its welcome in order to justify the pricetag.

Quality > quantity.
