I particularly love this slide about AR/VR forecasts vs actual, year after year.

Really a prime example of corporate blindness, always trying to see the new fad as the next big thing... 🙄 🤨

@elFlashor I always feel with big budget games that the developers don't need more money to make new gameplay mechanics possible, but instead have to find increasingly more pointless ways to spend the money they are given.
