If I'm posting/sharing code, it's probably cursed.

I swear, I keep coming up with the most cursed bugs, y'all. How did I even manage to blank out a v-table on an object that's allocated as a static in a function? So cursed.

Every one of those indie games I just reposted? They ALSO repost other indie games.

Already bought the game?

Go tell your friends. Marketing is BROKEN. Algorithms destroyed it. Post about it. Buy it off someone's wishlist.

And this also happens in games, resulting in layoffs with people put in position of looking for work while not permitted to show their work from past several years in their portfolios.

And this isn't just with guaranteed flops. It happens to games that would be mildly successful for same reasons.
Now think of when they don't even release the movie all those people worked on because it made more financial sense to just hide it.

The live service game launched just two weeks ago after being revealed at The Game Awards.

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev
