Why is the video game industry in crisis? (sh.itjust.works)

I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

The videogame industry has been lurching from crisis to crisis for as long as I've been paying attention. I'm starting to think that's their business model.
