And there may be others that still pay for a porn membership somewhere, but have garage-saled their PS2 and Xbox. Just because
you personally still buy games doesn't mean the game industry is booming.

"Absurd"? Really? Seems like one of the better comparisons made here. "Forever" is a word that should be used sparingly. There are plenty of free games online and game piracy & black market (as well as Great Depression 2.0) that are hurting them.

I'll take your word for that because I don't play video games of any kind, ever.... however, even if piracy isn't hurting their bottom line, the recession and other factors they mentioned obviously are. (unless you consider this all a big media conspiracy and a pack of outright lies, to further the game industry's agenda somehow).
