GamesRadar has a good article about low-selling games are on Steam, but I prefer the online stores like #Steam & @gog.com to any other game sales channels before or since. There are problems, but the advantages, especially for an #indiegame #gamedev are immense. My thoughts: andrewgreenberg.com

I think Matt's posts about @robowieland.bsky.social 's passing are an excellent tribute. Journalists like Rob are essential to the game industry, because what they want to see are both more great games and gamers. We and the industry are all worse off today
