I think live service will eventually be the cause of a gaming crash, we're increasingly seeing studios trying to chase Fortnite riches and within a few years of launch (sometimes even less than a year) the games are already shutdown.
Pretty sure if Microsoft manages to acquire Activision, Jim Ryan's live service strategy (currently 11 Playstation Studios live service games by 2025) for Playstation will put Sony in a worse position than they were prior to PS4 launch.
@Grumblevolcano that's also a very good reason for a gaming crash.
One other scenario I can see happening for Nintendo is the next "Switch" system underperforming because it's too similar to what they already have and it's not worth buying a new one just for a new Mario game and a sports game.
To me, thats a failure on part of the VFX studio to specify in the contract for the director that any changes requested after the fact will be paid for by the customer, not the VFX studio.
This is common practice in manufacturing. We make aluminum die-cast parts for the auto industry. Customer submits a CAD model and print for what they want. We order a million dollar die to cast with. If the customer decides "oh, we wanna change this because our initial design resulted in porosity" guess who pays for it... they do.
I feel that's an amateur mistake to not have such a clause in your contract. You always tell the customer they must shoulder the burden of costs accrued to do any design changes requested outside the scope of the original agreement.

Playing through Fire Emblem Engage makes me want to replay older games after finishing it instead of going onto the next Switch backlog game but on the other hand there's probably a Direct soon which may have more Fire Emblem for Switch. Maybe a replay of the Tellius games as those are the least likely to appear on the Switch or any successor.
@NintendoByNature A quick look on the eshop shows:
February 2nd - Life is Strange 2
February 14th - Blanc
February 16th - Theatrhythm Final Bar Line
February 17th - Tales of Symphonia Remastered
February 22nd - Digimon World: Next Order
February 24th - Octopath Traveler II, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
March 17th - Bayonetta Origins
There doesn't seem to be much for March but that's nothing a Direct can't solve.
@Grumblevolcano@Ralizah so far, I think I only have tales of symphonia pre-ordered but I'm on the fence with Kirby. I know my little guy would enjoy it, so maybe ill go with those two. I can't bite the bullet on Octopath II at this point. There's simply no time! As for fatal frame, I've never played a game in the series. I like horror games to an extent, but that's more psychological horror, yes?
