Overview

• Nacon's head of publishing, Benoit Clerc, has stated that there are too many games on the market, making it difficult for new releases to gain traction.
• Clerc attributes the current glut of games to increased investment during the COVID-19 pandemic when the gaming market was booming.
• Nacon has found success in targeting niche genres, but Clerc warns that even niche markets need to be large enough to support the competition.
• Despite the crowded market, Clerc believes that the gaming industry is still doing well in historical terms, with a shift towards home entertainment boosting numbers.
• Clerc suggests that smaller developers could band together to create larger, more noticeable games, reducing the number of releases while potentially increasing their quality.
