I really want to see what "margin" you are specifically thinking of.
AAA game dev is one of the highest risk industries in the world. Games generate losses constantly. 2023 and 24 saw about 50'000 layoffs across the industry. With 1500 more in 2025.
One of the biggest game publishers in the world is on the brink of shuttering.
So please, be specific. What margins?
Edit: Go figure, the person I responded to mentioned nothing about "margins" and instead claimed "We have better tools, AI and Unreal Engine so games are easy and cheap to make now". What a fucking moron.
Microsoft and Sony's gaming divisions are among their smallest, and Nintendo's valuation is so low that Microsoft wanted to acquire them before buying Activision.
Which shows you how small the biggest games companies are.

Pfft, that's a great joke.
Oh, you're serious.
