On this special. Pete Beckett chairs and hosts the panel, with special guests and best friends of the channel, Miketendo64 and Nana Marfo, to dissect and discuss whether the AAA video game industry is due for a crash.We note some notable examples of successes and failures within the AAA video game industry, why they were potentially deemed a success or failure in terms of budgets, sales numbers and to compare them to previous games in the series in the case of sequels.We also talk about the sales numbers of some very notable indie games, and whether this is a reflection of a growing disapproval or dissatisfaction of the AAA gaming industry as a whole.We hope you enjoy the episode.Thank you again to Nana and Mike for coming on the podcast.
