The bottom comes when the sports game addicts run out of money and stop buying the same $70-$80 games every year before unloading hundreds into paid DLC that is non-transferable between the yearly versions (which have almost zero practical changes aside from roster updates and in-game ads/branding).

But a few decades have proven they are quite a resilient cohort and tough to crack.
