As an Indie developer, too i tell you: don’t worry. This has the potential to be better for all sides, both game players and developers.

That seems like an inordinately high barrier! At that point they’re sorting through who’s going to pay to advertise and who’s not. $5,000 is no small amount of money to put into game development.

F-fiv— FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?! HOLY SHIT! What the fuck?! I’d be lucky to fucking make that on a game I develop! What the hell are they thinking?! For indie devs who don’t have a team like me that will cripple them!

Admittedly itch.io and Gamejolt can take up the mantle, but they’ve got such shit sorting that anybody…

I’m not happy to hear about this. I’m a new indie developer (2 months+) and this sounds dream crushing. I worked alone and don’t have cash to spend on my project, so I create anything myself. Now I have to pay into something I’m not sure will even sell. I thought about trying kickstarter or some other fundraising to…

This is vague as hell , but I really am not digging the buzzword “Direct”. Sounds like something more lax than Greenlight. Not that I ever had much of a problem with Greenlight, sure it let some shit games in, but I’m not playing them so I don’t care. Totally worth scrolling through some shit games to get to a good…

By politicizing it you made Trump the winner of Super Bowl. And he wasn’t even playing. Good job.

The only thing more exhausting than being woke, is being around someone who is woke.

Try reading them out loud.

I for one am absolutely disappointed in your narrow mindedness. I actually dislike the skin but the reaction on twitch chat during the skins reveal was extremely positive. This says that there is an actual crowd that wants it. Just because you can’t enjoy it does not mean they did a bad job. In fact, it’s the…

That’s super cool As a Sociologist who specializes in games research, I love reading stuff like this. I gotta admit I personally know a lot more women who play stuff like FFXIV and then games like 7 Days To Die.

I hope you are not trying to imply that there is no other reason for women and men liking different thing than social reasons.

Overwatch just proved that sex sells, throw in some shiny asses with ok gameplay and you have a hit. Then make a character a lesbian so you can seem progressive.

Meanwhile, Dota 2, a game they released only 3 years ago, is one of the most-played games in the entire world.

“appears to have created multiple Steam accounts to post a positive review for their own game,” “Art of Stealth”

You can criticize the graphics and performance of breath of the wild. But the artistic direction and character design are one of the best in the series. To me it is the best.

To be fair, it is key to remember that @Titanfallgame is run by EA, as clarified in their defense of Infinte Warfare. It might be worth mentioning it in this article too so that it’s clear it’s EA’s PR being desperate and not Respawn Entertainment :)
