Yo Lotta Drool, if you want to know what a large recession does to the local gaming industry there is only one country you need to look at.
South. Korea. The Mecca of competitive gaming.
@ Freezer: This belongs more in D&ST, this isn't discussion/recommendation about games, it just happens to mention them.
Would the question 'Is the bad economy keeping you from buying cars?' be moved to EE?
Would the question 'Is the bad economy stopping you from donating to political parties/local nominee's campaigns?' automatially be retained in D&ST because it is semi-political in nature?
I think the name D&ST is shit because it leaves the door wiiide open for anything. Lotta's thread about Fallout/recommending a new game definitely belongs in here but this thread is questioning consumer demand in a time of economic uncertainty... By extension he's leaving the thread open to debate about possible growth/collapse of the gaming industry/various areas of the gaming industry.
The big reprecussion of a massive recession on the xbox will probably be that Gold membership to Live will be made free as less and less people are willing to pay to play. Also: WoW will become even more successful.
