This line of thinking is very reminiscent of “Facebook won’t be around much longer, it will be gone like MySpace”, many people still believe that as FB is now one of the most valuable companies in the world.

There is no reason to believe this will be true. Grand Theft Auto V is now 7 years old at this point and has seen 2 almost 3 console generations as generates an incredible amount of money for TakeTwo. The longevity of these platforms have clearly changed

Facebook is indeed not around much anymore, users have moved to Instagram. In fact I can't remember the last time I've seen someone under 30 using Facebook.

Give it 10 years and there will be again another large social network. Teenagers won't be on the same network as their parents.
