Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.
I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)
Yeah the flow of great indie games isn't going to dry up any time soon. So many developers willing to actually take risks with their games and not just churn out another copy of a copy of a copy. Art needs passion to be good.

Depends what you want.
I'm hoping it's the year of the live service graveyard though.
Holy cow I'd love that too.
I want to buy a game, not an ongoing financial leeching.

Nothing about a poor game releasing at the beginning of the year says anything about the year as a whole.
Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe) If you ignore AAA, it's going great!
Trails through daybreak, dragons dogma 2, avowed, Indiana Jones are all games I'm looking forward to off the top of my head. Trails through daybreak is actually the game I'm most excited about.

The worst game of the year so far.
In Stars and Time is fantastic, but that's a game from last year I believe.
Same with Talos Principle 2. I thought it was this year, but I just bought it late.
This is going to be a great year for indie games. (Currently playing, "Techtonica.")
There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube now separately comparing Batman Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights/Suicide Squad, and AC4: Black Flag to Skull and Bones.
There is absolutely a trend of brain drain in game development that no amount of contractors can fill now.
To be fair That usually comes from the shareholders that have never played a video game in their life
Is Suicide Squad out yet?
With the awareness that some people might call me names for saying that... AC4: black flag wasn't even that good of a game in my opinion
It was my favourite Assassin's Creed game since AC2, because it contained the least amount of Assassin's Creed.
“Might not be a good year for games.” Idk, we’ve already had the surprise with palworld, which, while it didn’t really grab me, was a breath of fresh air for people. Helldivers slaps. I think the key is not to buy into hype, and play actually good games. People like to say 23 was a bad year too, but, I’d argue that stinkers like gollum just got more coverage and were on top of people’s minds. Not to excuse it at all, but, I played a lot of really good games last year.
How would a year with Zelda, Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Street Fighter 6 and Like a Dragon Gaiden be bad? It was a great year.
