Granted, it is from GamesIndustry.biz, but this really seems aimed more at investors and shareholders who are going to have a very skewed sense of what hopeful means. Personally I'd say all of the indie hits we saw in 2023, and continue to see in 2024, are a good reason to be hopeful about the future of the industry. I'd also throw in the success of Baldur's Gate 3, which brought CRPGs back into mainstream prominence after years of being a niche genre for hardcore fans.
