But with this article bringing it up....\\n\\nWe've seen consolidation before. EA has been nicknamed unicronic arts after the transformer character who consumes planets. Bioware was a major studio with multiple successful IPs.  Visceral Games, Westwood Studios, Pandemic Studios, all companies with highly successful IP, that suddenly lost it when EA was in charge. ABK is itself a mega company made up of 3 of the biggest names in gaming, Activision, Blizzard, and King.\\n\\nWe've seen cycles of consolidation in the game industry. And if you look at the next crop of independent studios after a big consolidation, you find a list of people who left the old smaller companies around the time of the merger.  The big studios are financially locked into a creative dead end, unable to create something new as shareholders demand every game be the biggest sales hit in history, forcing name recognition and trend chasing over substance.  And distribution solutions inherent in computers and video games have meant independent gaming has had a better leg up than the literature and motion picture industries for independents.\\n\\nI hate to see quality game development studios cash out as their IP has everything sucked out until the studio is sucking on the marrow of its former glory.  But I think, given the history, the consolidation we are seeing will result in a corresponding uptick of new quality independent studios, with new, quality IP.\",\"embeds\":[{\"type\":\"article\",\"url\":\"https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/02/how-the-games-industry-shake-up-could-play-out/\"}]},{\"id\":\"947940545127395368\",\"timestamp\":1646077037842,\"modified\":0,\"handle\":\"deadspatula\",\"content\":\"Ack.  final note I was going to make, for all the talk of consolidation, the two big acquisitions, of AAA studios?
