Popular publisher and developer Ubisoft has published a damning report about the state of the video game industry. The company highlights consumer spending and playing habits changing with the advent of higher game prices, costlier development costs. video game streaming, free-to-play games, games as a service, and video game subscription services like Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra. Ubisoft says because of these factors people are playing fewer games than they had been and are playing them for longer, which is making the AAA game space a volatile market.
