> What alternate reality are you living in where the video games industry isn't a charred husk of what it was, a decade and a half ago?
A world that contains Breath of the Wild, Blue Prince, Balatro, Mario Kart World, (you get the point—there are lots of good games).
Two of those are Nintendo first-party games—and one of them was released nine years ago.
Is “the AAA video game industry” just Nintendo, to you?
