Yes! I meant PE not VC but I was v sleepy. VC has been in games for a long time now and has its own issues but nothing as gangrenous as PE

I agree with the overall point, but as a pedantic aside, it's private equity rather than venture capital.
Venture capital tries to grow startups and small companies hoping for a breakout success (think shark tank)
Private equity buys and guts companies, then tries to sell them for a profit

The reason the game industry keeps laying people off and canceling games despite consumer appetite is because the game industry doesn’t exist any more. It’s been subsumed into the black hole of venture capital, which deliberately believes there is value in treating every industry the same.
