Devs get paid for their work... when people buy their game. People that want to buy their game pay for it. There is no “loss of income” from piracy, as their sales INCREASE via piracy (converts to sales directly or FREE advertising to their non-pirate friends via word of mouth), unless it is actually a bad game.

“millennial nonsense”? Piracy has been around since...well, the floppy or earlier. Its not theft, there is no physical product being taken, and unless your selling it (which most just are sharing for free), then there isn’t a monetary loss. Piracy is free advertising, and potential for sales later.

That is assuming a lot (“they don’t want it back”) and pretty much condoning a corporation being a jerk... yes, big corps can step all over us. We know this. They can even point it out in a ToS/EULA they are allowed to be jerks. But we use the little power we have: Talking about it! If they want to “avoid bad PR”,…

Its not really the game being banned that is the problem, its the silence. Again, the dev said they are willing to alter the game depending on what the reason for the ban is, but Twitch has ignored them. THAT is the problem. If they can’t give a reason for a game to be banned, then it also sets a precedence that they…

Twitch has an HTML5 version of the player now

There is no sex in the game (at least at this state), in fact, the only nudity (from taking a shower) is censored. Where is the “sexual violence”?

And the “graphic gore”? There is no realistic levels of gore. Its some pools of blood. Your average M game has more violence and gore than this game.

“poor reactionary baby”

What is wrong with being a “fucking perverted perversion” in the first place? Lots of games are “needlessly” violent and perverted, this game is actually pretty tame. The nudity is covered, and there is no sex. Its a little violent, but not like Mortal Kombat levels of violence (that game makes me queasy). Its very…

That isn’t what happened, she ASKED for help with controlling for raging obsession of women (whom she actually isn’t all that interested romantically, just has urges to practically molest/conquer them, interfering with her combat ability). She ASKS the hero for some sort of training to help her get over this and make…

If this isn’t a satire post, its just proof SJW supporters have no idea what they are talking about, and will go to great lengths to bend the truth and facts to their will.

But congrats, you got a publisher to censor a game based on complete lies. What a great flexing of power you guys have.

Too bad that is unrelated to this game? Where do you people come up with this nonsense? Do you just make up your own world about what subjects are about and ignore reality/facts?

Interesting you say “feedback from the consumer” yet, you sit here making fun of gamers... who are the ones who would be buying the games. I really feel the SJW crowd are people who don’t even play or BUY videogames, otherwise why the constant hate for those that do?

Well.. lets not pretend Super Meat Boy didn’t look anything better than a souped up but still kinda sloppy flash game. I loved it but even with a 3 man team, it doesn’t look better than any of the “retro styled” games we’ve been discussing. Not even Undertale. Definitely not Axiom Verge, which looks pretty amazing

Braid (2008) wasn’t a one man show actually, Johnathan Blow had some artists on board and a couple of musicians etc. I think about 8+ people if you dont include all the localization people. Not to mention, to publish on XBLA back then you had to have a publisher, and MS picked him up. it was about as “indie” as you…

It isn’t supposed to amaze you really (though the music, still done by just one guy, IS amazing). The game is more so just strangely heart warming (or destroying) and a good time (or bad time!) . The biggest thing that will tell you if you will enjoy this game or not is what your thoughts on Earthbound are. If you…

Well as I mention, Axiom’s dev isn’t representative of most indie attitudes, in fact he seems in opposition of them. Thats on him. Just like Fez’s dev, you have some stinkers who act like jerks. I personally think its amazing when a dev does a one man game and i turns out to be better than most AAA games developed by…

Undertale, like most things, isn’t something you should judge based on its cover... this is why Earthbound didn’t sell well :( People saw the simpler aesthetic and said “yuck!” missing out on an amazing experience. Its very much a labor of love. The graphic design ALSO reflects that.

If you want to berate Axiom for its graphics, and praise Shovel Knight (which is only $5 cheaper?), that makes very little sense they both root for the pseudo 8bit aesthetic... Axiom isn’t just “lol ms paint pixel art = 8bit” like some of the lamer indie games, its crafted painstakenly like Shovel Knight (Which had a…

If a game look like something thrown together in Unity or RPG maker in 5 mins or so, I agree. There is a LOT of garbage out there that is terrible, broken, overpriced, etc. I don’t see most people creating fanbases for that stuff though

Undertale’s graphics aren’t 8bit though. They are mimicking Earthbound style (a SNES game) and often doing stuff not even the SNES did very easily. The music has little chiptune sounds in it sometimes, but it often using SNES samples or going full live instruments.
