Oh, now I get it. He's mad that the industry he knew is slipping away from him.

lol
Your understanding of the industry is the thing that's slipping away

There are no new megahit gaas games, they're all ones that started 5+ years ago. GAAS is a self-consuming industry, this is why game companies eventually stopped trying to copy WoW and right now there's basically 2 MMOs that can actually be considered very successful.

Tell him the world is round and watch him wince in pain. He knows it's true but he's built his identity and staked his life on the opposite.

If I was wrong, you people wouldn't be obsessed with me and GAAS.

But we all know I'm right. The inevitable is coming and you all see it.

I just think it's funny how personal you all take it. Enjoy your old games!

The people enjoying old games are GAAS evangelists who keep playing fortnite, a game from 2017, counterstrike, a franchise from 1999, call of duty, a franchise from 2003, league of legends, a game from 2009, destiny, a franchise from 2014, world of warcraft, a game from 2004... Need i keep going?

Meanwhile I've played dozens of excellent brand new games and IPs in the single player space in just the last two years.

Which is obviously ridiculous. You'd never make it to the edge of the map, because the sea monsters around the borders would eat your ship first.
I thought it was NASA that guards a massive ice wall at the edge. I did see some suspicious ships when I tried going over. Had to turn around.

You list off a bunch of games that are barely 10 years old in a medium that's almost 60 years old.

You used this tactic because you thought no one would notice, but we all noticed. No one here actually thinks the old SP game is the future of the medium. No one. Not a single person. So enjoy this fabricated reality you attempt to construct as we all look on and cringe.

Enjoy it while you can. That market shrinks every year.

Franchises from 1999 onwards are barely 10 years old?
One is from 1999, most are much newer, lol
My brain's not so good.
Don't be hard on yourself. A market isn't measured by "number of entrants in said market". The market is measured by dollars spent in said market. That's what's in freefall in the SP space. All your graph shows is how easy cheap shovelware is produced on Steam.
