Almost a year ago, I wrote a story asking whether the game industry was recession-proof. And at that point, pretty much everyone I asked was downright bullish.
Chief executives said they were confident in their companies’ ability to weather the storm. Industry analysts repeated their mantra that games had historically held up well during financial downturns. And consumers told me that they’d rather give up going out to dinner than “Gears of War 2.”
