economy soured. people stayed home, game sales soared.

Now economy really bad, even video games are too extravagant for a lot of people.

How long will there even be a middle class with these fools running the country?

I sometimes used to play video games, but frankly I think they went downhill. I like puzzles and inventiveness. And there’s very little of that. The graphics got better and the games got worse. It’s been several years since I even bothered to look if there was anything new worth lookng at.

One out of five adults is unemployed and they’re surprised that $50 impulse items aren’t selling?! Really?!! I can’t even afford to get my old PS2 set fixed right now...

How many game boxes and consoles do people have to keep on buying? Good grief. That’s DISPOSABLE INCOME stuff, and it isn’t a big wonder why sales are down a lot.

Substitute “restaurants”, “travel”, “gambling”, “tax revenue” all in for “game industry” and you’ll have pretty much the same story.
