Indie games are where it's at.
Big companies like Bethesda and EA are still run by fucking boomers and gen xers. The millennials and younger that work for them end up working on one game, and then they get fired after management fucks everything up.

the entire us went to shit, what's your point
I certainly wanted to be a gameDev, and had shit ideas. It is my fault.
You probably don't have shit ideas, you just need help making you ideas work. Even Tolkien had a group of people help I'm improve the Hobbit.
One of the things I wanted to make, is a pixel style build a vehicle game, where you earn parts for vehicles that you build.

Golden age of gaming is now, though. We get so many bangers basically for free it's insane
Mostly or straight became indie devs or got they asses fired on AAA studios, let's be honest indie and double A studios are what still keep this hobbie alive today
Excuse me, but a lot of passion han be found on the indie market.
The people who break there bakes making the games. Are the ones who enjoyed them as kids. It’s the executives and managers who run the decisions. Who have never played games before.
Who is the main target audience downloading and paying for these games?

Ape Escape was such a good game. Shame that Sony has abandoned it
Yeah, oh no a bunch of people got into an industry that they loved so much they got underpaid and lowered the value of their labour to be treated worse.
But then a bunch of them realized they could just use their passion to make something themself and get paid for it and now we are having a hard time justifying why the big industry's "shovels" are special.
It is a shame this happening to lots of industries right now for lots of other reasons too. With the big industry now trying to justify it as being cheaper to make because they automated all the people that make the product especially better.
Games are amazing right now, what is this talking about? EA/WB/Ubisoft dreck?
