Video games sales in Europe are down by 38% in July 2022

  1. No shit, maybe start making decent games (I can’t say better because better than diarrhea is just a regular shit) instead of making a slightly better graphic for old games but full of glitches.

  2. Maybe cuz it’s hot as balls and people would rather head to a mall or a bar where there’s air conditioning?

    Or maybe it’s to do with the over-saturated games released by developers.

    Perhaps, consumers may NOT be super chuffed about paying 60EUR every release for shiny packaging but no R&D behind a game full of micro transactions.

  3. Maybe we should compare sales to pre-covid years? It is obvious that lockdowns were increasing computer games sales.

  4. It’s been too hot to have my computer pumping out heat.

    I can practically warm a room with it in winter so imagine what it’s like when it’s 40 degrees out and doesn’t drop below 28 at night.

  5. I mean, with current inflation and world events, alot of people are probably saving on their gaming hobby for now. Makes sense to cut back on the things you need the least first.

    Also, of course, alot of people are back at their job and in their offices or at their workplace. So people dont have as much time to play as they did during 2021 and late 2020.

    So yeah, I dont think this should surprise anyone.
