Games should be shorter and look worse, tbh

[-] mika_mika@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Sometime in the past 15 years or so AAA became even more business and shareholder beholden.

Fuck off with this.

It's a lazy excuse to accept worse overall quality in a medium that desperately needs life breathed into it again from AAA studios. My nostalgia days were from the N64 but even those giants of AAA games were worse than what came after objectively. If AAA studios had fractions of the artistic integrity they had before, they'd be stomping indie games into obscurity. The only reason why indies are given a seat at the table is because AAA has priced out many and diluted what was once a rich hobby.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
