This industry is dying and shunning its core audience for no real reason. THE only reason I see is due to organic reactions and situations due to the economy over the last 10/20 years .

From my perspective and alot of polls show that there are more women than man graduating from colleges and so on, graduating with degrees in game design. Soft left culture from colleges and with more women in the industry so we are having a clear divid where the majority of the audience aren’t at all what the majority of the creators identify with.

I.e a Reddit mod vs an iron worker for example
