I'm just pissed off about Mass Effect. Andromeda had really good moment to moment gameplay with totally forgettable characters and setting, and I was cautiously optimistic for ME4 and now we'll never get it. Feels like the games industry is collapsing before our very eyes with closure after closure and mass layoffs across the board.

That's what happens to every industry that gets bought up by large corps, for the most part. Even Youtube's quality is declining because of financial groups buying channels.

Yeah, between the corpo buyouts and the AI slop content, YouTube is becoming unwatchable.

I don't watch a ton of YouTube channels in particular, what examples are there of channels declining after equity buyouts? I can only think of Veritasium but I haven't felt they have suffered a decline in quality

Veritasium used to have some of the best content on the 'tubes. Well researched and amazingly well written so even a dunce like me could understand complex topics. 

Then along came PE and there was a marked decline in quality. They even made a video calling it out (no more than addressing the elephant in the room, however).
