    In a sense yes there are too many. When the question is around the industrial level and making a living off the work. There 110% are too many.

    No industry can support an infinite number of creators. There is a finite number of customers to serve after all.

    There’s not a single genre at this point that I can think of that isn’t saturated by slop.

      Slop, sure. There’s always people that wanna try making easy money. But I think oversaturation is when there’s too much of the good stuff or when the good stuff doesn’t get seen because of too much slop. Is that the case? Because, again, I’d argue that it’s more about the appeal and the quality of the games than a discoverability/oversaturation issue.

      If you like every kind of game out there, sure, you’ll never have enough time for every single one of them. But for those that only like driving games? Or only strategy games? Or only RPGs? I’d argue that there aren’t enough high quality games out there. Way too many times I felt the need to play a specific kind of game only to look and not find anything new or to only find low quality games.
