  • Okay so I’ve watch some of the video and I’m annoyed by it. A problem in the video has been highlighted when it comes to indie games and that’s genre favoritism.

    Indie game development seems to have such a hard on for roguelikes, strategy and anything that is addicting with retro visuals. That to me throws a lot of red flags. He does show some other games from other genres, but the ratio is evident. A lot of the games don’t really impress me that much and that’s coming from someone who has already been spoiled with the best of what indie gaming had to offer in previous years.

    That guy is also kindof annoying too. “I realllly want to play”, “addicting” .etc








  • Yeah, it is portfolio-padding. I see this happen all of the time. Like, I see programs and other technological products start as newborn projects. It takes 1 - 3 years average to see them blossom, they have their big break and then somewhere down the road, the creator(s) are looking for buyers. Because they’ve made this project now with the means of profit so they can live a life worry-free from all of the years they worked developing said project.

    And you know, I get it, I mean I’m not going to disagree with the principle. Don’t we all want to live worry-free with money for the rest of our lives?

    But I do also get a tinge of hatred towards some of them because of the hundreds to thousands and even millions of people that have believed in them to use their products faithfully. And now they’re facing a new entity, god help us if it’s someone from a private firm or someone who’s a shareholder ass-kisser. Because now we’re going to experience the dip and we’ll be troubled with moving on or sticking with the shit that now has degraded because the whole thing is entirely for-profit.






  • No, their idea of value is bothering with a bunch of shit you could honestly give less of a shit about. Audible? Oh cool, you mean another service you gotta sign up for and keep track of? And you have to cancel that separately or get a subscription charge, which happened to me before. Aggravating.

    Prime Video…E-Book…Games…

    Yeah they’re trying to shove all of this content in your face and you may not likely be interested.
