Can 18.bravo Save AAA Gaming A Radical New Vision for Game Development

The gaming industry has been hit by layoffs, studio closures, soaring budgets, and development cycles that can last nearly a decade. Now, a brand-new studio called //18.bravo believes there's a better way.

In this video, I break down //18.bravo's ambitious plan to rethink how games are made—from smaller development teams and earlier player feedback to smarter use of AI and a stronger focus on developer well-being. Could this be the future of game development, or is it simply too optimistic?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments:

Can smaller teams compete with AAA studios?
Is the traditional AAA model becoming unsustainable?
Would you rather have smaller, polished games than massive open worlds?
