These big companies have it all backwards. We don’t need them; they need us. I don’t suddenly like slot machine video games just because their fucking bean counters say so. Ever since I bought a Steam Deck, I’ve played nothing but indie and old games, and I ain’t going back. You can keep your 3 bundles and your $70-110 price tags. I’ll play 500 hours of Vampire Survivors before I’ll buy another casino that they happened to build a game around.

In the wise words of the Soulsbourne community: GIT GUD (at not making shitty games).

It’s one of my favorite recent games. It’s so endlessly pleasing.

You should try bone keepers minions or peglin. I found both equally fun and challenging

Thanks! Bookmarking those for later.

Speak it brother. I'm currently playing Far Cry 3 and other past greats. I have money in my pocket, happy to buy something worthwhile, but nothing new AND good is available. Nothing.
