    So glad the indie scene exists and is thriving. Media outlets/youtubers give AAA way too much airtime.

    Even if it’s them complaining about bad AAA games, that’s still time that could be shouting out truly creative games.

      I been avoiding AAA like the plague lately. It’s $70 for half the fucking game and you got to consult a spread sheet to make sure you don’t get the wrong one. Your lucky if you put 10 hours in on it total.

      I found an indy game today for $15 and binged it for 10 hours. Hoping for a slow week at work to play more.

      The number of gamers that are still entirely unaware of games like Noita or Project Zomboid (to name a few) is absolutely criminal.

      It’s because of algorithms. Anything well known gets boosted because it thinks people will be interested. Honestly as gamers we should take a leaf out of the FFXIV community book and advertise the games we love more.
