Buona la Prima - Episode 36
Pietro Faccio and Sergio Rocco of Buona la Prima take us into their wonderful world dedicated to the video game industry.
The Buona la Prima podcast is a partner of Biunivoca.
Over the last three years, the video game industry has seen over 45,000 layoffs, a number that feels surreal for a sector that was once called “recession-proof.”
In this episode of Buona La Prima, we dig into what’s really happening:
Are big publishers cutting too deep?
Why are so many studios closing despite record game sales?
Is this a correction, or the start of a new era for developers?
We’ll talk about the economic, cultural, and leadership mistakes that led to this mess, and what could actually fix it.
