I don’t really see how this can be true outside of parent companies dissolving studios and looting them for parts if they have one flop.
Like Arkane, the studios that made Dishonored, Prey, and Deathloop, some incredibly successful games especially for their budgets, didn’t go bankrupt when Redfall flopped, they were dissolved by Bethesda. If Bethesda hadn’t done anything they probably would’ve recovered from their one flop, and likely they wouldn’t have pushed it in that state in the first place without Bethesda’s influence.
It’s not that something has changed in the gaming market, it’s just like every other industry right now; The capitalists are stripping the copper out of the walls
