Life turns into a giant survival game
When the fire starts to burn, getting your daily sustenance may suddenly become your top priority. If already in poor health, your stamina and nervous system are to be bombarded to the point of breaking. In case of an outbreak, your chances of survival are weak unless you've stockpiled food and water and garrisoned your abode to keep intruders at bay.
The loss electricity, internet and all the comforts of living in a civilised post-modern, almost nano-age society might break your will even before any of the real hardships begin. Surviving the shock is one thing, surviving the chaos derived from limited resources in your neighbourhood is another problem. Having good trust with your neighbours can save your community, however, those who are unprepared can come to you begging help and sustenance knowing all well that there's not enough for all in the long run. Don't expect the gov't to intervene, they've dug underground well in advance. They probably drink champagne to our poor health in tax paid secretly build super-bunkers with all the high-tech state-of-art sci-fi gizmos we only see in video games. Nonetheless, here we are in the cross-roads. I'll let this Iron Maiden song explain:
Track: Fate's Warning Album: No Prayer For the Dying
LA in six months looks like GTAOnline
If unrest should soon arrive in the US, we have a good glimpse of things to come thanks to our video game providers unwarranted attention to violence, doomsday and future scenarios.
I guess it doesn't matter in the end, if you read this or no. Live anywhere in the world. Understand English. Whatever. Fate probably has decided the course of things in advance (to our prior knowledge). This deterministic view is not needed to discourage people from taking matters in their own hands. Sh*t, it's for the best for us step away from the constant distraction that entertainment provides, because ignorance has allowed things to come this far. It's time to default, mankind. Demand those that are responsible to be brought to justice. We still have to acknowledge that all this is our own undoing, we've allowed ourselves to be lulled into slumber, to be manipulated and twisted into believing lies and accepting them as truth. It's payback time, says Karma.
Now that all doom and gloom is behind us. We can get acceptance, let go of our guilt, once it has been acknowledged and dealt with.
IN SHORT, the global financial turmoil will sink the game industry. If struggling even to buy necessities, people don't have spare money to spend in games.
Tis not the end of the world...
