Video game consoles are doomed… right? | Opinion
GamesIndustry.biz
FEBRUARY 20, 2024
Console gaming is dying. If you've been in this business for more than 15 years, you've probably heard a sentence like that before. In the early 2000s, it was PC gaming that was dying.

Why is it that custom clothes are often just a bit… off? Like they fit just a little big on the character, or don’t quite fold or (procedurally) animate well, or they look too simply textured compared to their own game. Where’s this uncanniness come from?
