I think it's going to happen, but only because the idiots in charge don't know how to make games anymore. I think they're going to squeeze so hard for short term profits that the companies will delay games for long periods of times, and honestly we'll probably see some studios start to fold.

Creative work and investments don't usually go hand in hand. CDPR seems to have changed their tune, it sounds like they're telling investors to pound sand, at least in a way of "look what happened with cyberpunk. We listened to you and that's what happened. So either let us do our thing or you can sell and leave"
