good video

this is the year of a new banking discrimination initiative against independent artists so while this sentiment is broadly agreeable to me, we all need to do more to protect that space

Maybe the console they own puts up an invisible wall that blocks them from walking 7 meters to the store that sells lesser-known indie games.

(Console makers have final authority to deny a port from PC, and I've read smaller studios get denied more often.)

If only they could stop buying those games and walk like 7meters and buy an indie game.

One way consumers create this issue is by buying a PlayStation instead of a living room PC, or buying a Nintendo Switch instead of a handheld PC. This means they can't buy indie games whose devs don't yet have enough of a portfolio to qualify for a console devkit.

I mean that's more of an issue the consumers create since I know indies would love to if they got the sales AAA's got

my only issue is that I also like the games that AAA devs made when they didn't suck, but the indie space doesn't make those much.

Or even worse, how entire genres have been relegated to Indie production level or AA cause no AAA dev wants to put any hope on strategy, sims or management. And I mean, it's great for the indies, but I still wish we could have a city sim with the pomp and fanfare of the old Maxis games.

"The gaming industry is dead!", cries the consumer as he pays $200 for the super duper edition of Generic Military Shooter Dude Shoots the Bad Guys 27

There's hints of passion in triple-as but managers try their best to stomp it into the dust

Since this is blowing up and I'm about to go to bed. I'm going to preemptively say that any nuance and/or exceptions not addressed in the comic was done so with absolute malice and I am excited to fight everyone in the morning.

Every fucking time...can we get one big project without it either being a giant mockup or the main guy/staff being a shithead?

Oh

Oh that's good

That's GOOD 👍
