The damage wrought by the dotcom bubble crash was, like that of most crashes, temporary. The online market and information technology industries recovered in relatively short order, not unlike the gaming industry before it.

Even if there was a gaming crash, it wouldn't be the end. It would just be incredibly inconvenient.
Ah. I see where you're getting at now.

I suppose I am in agreement, sort of. I have been thinking that there might be some sort of crash happening among the AAA-level of developers already, at least on the Western side. But instead of companies going under as what we normally expect from crashes, we're just seeing mass acquisitions and then layoffs instead.
