If all video games companies stopped making games, what would you do?

[SimuLord]

Stock up on existing games, and sit back and wait for the MOD community to form a new era of community-based PC gaming.
It'd probably take 6 months at the most.

More or less my thoughts exactly. The modding and open-source communities would fill the vacuum and gaming would live on just fine, thanks. Console players would be pretty much boned, but the PC would experience a new golden age.

Open some sort of black market; giving 20minute goes on pac-man in exchange for gold watches and insulin.

I want in.

yeah you seem pretty cool; you're in. You can be my tough looking henchmen. Now I need to know can you do an intimidating growl?

I think so, and i am pretty buff, plus i can quote some of the most B A phrases and attacks from Anime.
ehehermmmm.
BANKAI!
REAHHHH!
Kokujo Tengen Myo-oh!

Ok you have Anime fighting skills; you are so in. Because this way we can't loose assuming you believe in yourself, have tremendous will power and fight for that one special someone.

 

[Katana314]

I'd take advantage of the moment, start up XNA and make something with a 5-man team, then sell it for $50.

And anyone i defeat but don't kill or injure horribly becomes my friend.
What could be better?

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I would go...

get nerf guns, some friends and play rl css.

You just beat the living hell out of what I was going to say. I think I love you.

 

[The Austin]

I would assemble a crack jack team of programmers to rebuild the gaming industry!!

don't suppose you come with the added bonus only associating with women who have giant breasts and a phobia to adequately concealing clothing; it's not a deal breaker but damn it'll help.

Also this is getting a little off topic so I'll add something OT; if they stopped making it'd mean pretty much anything is essentially collectors item so someone could make a killing

 

[Raregolddragon]

FUCK YOUR REALITY TF2 Will NEVER DIE!

 

[GreyWolf257]

I would run around screaming random curses and gibberish.

 

[mobsterlobster]

I'd be pissed off because my birthday is in May.

[0p3rati0n]

Load a few shotguns (just incase) and make a video game company and kick Bill Gates ass because it's obviously his fault.

 

[Sacman]

I would murder the head of every company because they stopped making games and then make my own games and sell them on the black market...

 

[LogicNProportion]

Still buy XBOX and Playstation games.

Microsoft and Sony aren't game companies.

*Sets fire to thise thread*

Muahahahahahahaha!

 

[sokka14]

[mikecoulter]

Get in deeper on the homebrew scene.
