I predict in the next 10 years you'll see like half of the Xbox studios rebrand themselves, or join the microsoft graveyard and only the ones like Mojang will stick around since they rake in cash.

Rare? Already dead, it's pretty much just a corpse being puppeted at this point.
Arkane? Hasn't made a good game since 2012.
Compulsion Games? Do they even exist anymore?
343? Absolutely incompetent in every single way, probably gonna rebrand themselves because the name 343 makes everyone vomit a bit. In a perfect world, they would be liquidated and Halo would be tossed over to IdSoft to see if they can do anything with it.

Those are just the ones that I can think of at the top of my head.

Blizzard is part of M$ now so maybe they'll rebrand themselves as Activision/King?

The remasters being successful only delayed the inevitable. Larion Studios quickly filled the niche Dragon Age was attempting and failing to fill, Anthem was a disaster, and after Andromeda new Mass Effect games have an uphill battle. If their next game preforms mediocre at best EA will come down on them like a boulder. Remember Visceral had less flops than Bioware and they got the chop and EA had the ability to hold onto Dead Space. I can see the exact same situation happen with all the Bioware IP's.
 
Wildcard, but i'll say THQ nordic. I have no idea on how they budget their games, or their studio size, or their game sales either, so i'm probably 99% wrong. I just don't hear anyone have anything to say about their releases, besides spoing bob.
 
I'm not a gamer but honestly I can see Bethesda folding or it's non Skyrim IP's being shuffled around by MS - mostly because of Starfield's utter an complete failure and nothing of note in the pipe line that isn't a rehash of what's been before with graphics 5 or more years behind the current AAA title standard and clunky gameplay.
Bethesda does a lot of publishing. They published Prey 2017 and Hi-Fi Rush, and those were well received.

Their games are jokes, though. Starfield's recent reviews on Steam right now are "Mostly Negative", and Elder Scrolls VI was announced eight years ago, and still doesn't have a full name.
 
EA has closed everything except the Edmonton studio already and I guarantee you if Dragon Age 4 isn't a Baldur's Gate 3-tier blockbuster hit (hard to expect given they've rebooted game development 3 times now and all the good devs who made old-school Bioware crunch magic actually work left out of frustration), they're doomed. Easily the best pick.

If we're gonna pick one that will simply fail due to the industry overall facing it's third crash, my pick is Eidos.

Bethesda has been dropping nothing but turds since 2018. It's not looking good for them.
 
I don't even know what Eidos does anymore, and I wouldn't be surprised if they at best broke even on those bazillion-dollar Tomb Raider games of the 2010s.
Apparently they were making another Deus Ex entry before the latest publisher they've been handed to killed it.
 
Hopefully Bioware is next on the chopping block. They haven't made anything good in over a decade and we all know that the next Mass Effect and Dragon Ages games (if they don't get canceled by EA) will be mediocre pozzed up goyslop that constantly panders to niggers, faggots and trannies.
 
in an ideal world bethesada would go belly up and the fallout IP would go to someone who actually knows how to make good fallout games. but not only do they publish non bethesda games, but even the games they make still seem to sell well despite being trash so i dont think they are going bust in the near future.
 
It's Ubisoft. The reality is, the subscription model isn't going to go the way the expect it to. It's not going to be like the mobile game market where they get to go whaling. Their idea of the subscription model is probably going to bankrupt them.
