If Niji Bad, then Holo bad too, Indies are futureThe tech IS getting ahead, the recent regloss live saw massive improvements in tracking, they built a massive studio, they're having more events and lives than ever, they opened an office in the US and the whole holoearth nonsense. That's where the money is going to, if you read the financial statements loads of money gets diverted into utilities and paying employees. The shareholders are pissed because the company ISN'T pocketing enough money.
All of this "things are getting worse" are VIBES not DATA. /vt/ has been trying to push this idea of "the great stagnation" for months now.
Queue the endless micro-corpo collapses, drama, Phase still not releasing bespoke 3Ds outside of events, Brave having impressive 3d that is also a bit underused and some of it wasted since talent graduated, (Abi, Biscotti). And most indies not having any tracking at all besides the basic 3D the industry started out with. But with fancy 10kUSD models
A single autist who had 3d as a passion project will dethrone all these meanie corpos who have other investments rather than solely 3D microevents within their homes
