Games the Game – Ivan, Sylvia, Ralph

TomCorbett VS pedercini

In the cutthroat industry of videogames, each player is a game studio with the capital to choose between developing risque-indie games (Action A) or mainstream triple A titles (Action B). However, gamers in addition to being dead, are a fickle, and competition is fierce. If the market is saturated with gray-brown first-person shooter with white men and brown hair, gamers will seek the refreshing color palettes of indie games. If the market is saturated with pigeon simulators, people will want to play a normal game. Thus, the studio that is making whatever the other studios are not making, will take capital from them. However, if all studios choose the triple-A path, there will be a boom in the industry, and the two studios can conspire as an oligopoly to divide up all the wealth. If all studios choose the indie path, everyone’s Kickstarter goes unfunded and all studios lose money, because indie games suck. If one studio goes under, they can only create indie games, and all the capital they receive goes to the bank to pay off their loans (removed from the game). When a single player survives with all the capital, they are declared the industry champion and inherit the title of EA. They can now shovel out whatever garbage they want, and gaming as an industry is ruined forever.
