This is a glimpse at our future under Techno-Feudalism, by the way. Five companies own all the entertainment and charge you extortionate rates to rent it. Please enjoy these last few years of Steam allowing indie games to be published with $20.00 or lower prices - once Gabe Newell goes away, inide devs are going to get "Spotified" out of existence by whatever venture capitalist buys up Steam.
I mean, I got to that point years ago and don’t really play any video games anymore. I assumed it’s still going strong but maybe my finger isn’t on the pulse anymore
It's probably just subjective, but it definitely doesn't feel like anyone's excited for new AAA games anymore, and nobody's really clamoring to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a PS5 Pro either. Sure, the Switch 2 is selling well, but Nintendo still has appeal beyond
s.
The Steam Deck doing relatively well is probably related too, it was marketed as being capable of AAA gaming and sure, there are some people endlessly tweaking configs to make Hogpoopballs Legacy run at 40 FPS or whatever, but it's really goated for emulators and indie games.
