#103: Why Big Tech Keeps Failing at Games 📉 (feat. This Week's Epic FREE Game 🎁)

The restructuring of game businesses by massive IT corporations is accelerating, marked by Netflix closing the 'Oxenfree' studio and Amazon handing back publishing rights. With Tencent also reallocating game revenue into AI infrastructure, there is a clear trend of platform giants rapidly shifting their focus from direct content production to technology infrastructure. 📉

Such shifts in platform structure directly impact game consumption models and service stability. While developers directly managing global live services can accelerate user feedback adoption and update speeds, the marketing firepower and reduced barriers to entry once provided by mega platforms will diminish. 🔄

Attention is now focused on whether developers freed from the umbrella of massive capital can prove their own survival capabilities in the global market. Between platform convenience and a developer's pure independence, which one earns your trust? 🎮
