NS speculated about the possible death of the MOBA genre in the next ten years

I agree that the MOBA genre is weird. He will die soon, I think. Soon – this is ten years from now. I think in ten years the MOBA genre will not exist at all. It will be there, people will still be playing Dota in 50 years. Even if Valve shuts down the servers, people will start underground. Just like some people still play the first Dota now, they will continue to play the second for the rest of their lives. But it seems to me that the popularity of this species will end. He just executed himself. I realized this not long ago. This is exactly the genre in which games seem impossible to exist in… Their lifespan is limited, due to the characteristics of the genre, butYou have to add something to these games regularly, otherwise people will get bored. On the one hand, it’s cool that something is being added there, on the other hand, it just slows it down and alienates people who don’t like big changes, and there are many of them. In addition, “Dota” is a game that is already played by more and more people, because Many people have been playing since the first Dota. They are already very old, and it is a bit difficult for them to understand the thousand and one changes that are happening in Dota. And not many young players come into it – less than necessary. The outflow is greater than the inflow. The blood is running out.

There is only one option in which he will live in ten years and beyond [жанр MOBA]- if Valve starts spending a lot, a lot of money on advertising. That is, with the artificial support of online advertising. But Valve doesn’t do that. We know, she didn’t spend a single dollar on Dota advertising. It is as if she is unlikely to change anything. His politics are not the same; its marketing department just doesn’t exist.
