Like the people who run EA, Xbox, PlayStation, etc. All inclusive, I don't think there are any good ones. They're all working to drive prices up, wages down, and creativity? These people don't give two shits about the games. They are not gamers. They see gamers as useful to keep their profits high and that's it.
Support indie game developers whenever you can. Stardew Valley is a game I've tried very hard to like, not because I bought it twice, but because one guy made it and has supported it faithfully for ten years, and he genuinely cares about the experience. It's just not the kind of game I like. I should โ I play Animal Crossing. But Stardew Valley is based on Harvest Moon (another Nintendo game), but way more advanced. I think Animal Crossing was also inspired by Harvest Moon, but it's the dumbed down version for kids. (It's also post-apocalyptic, if you read between the lines! So that's awesome.) But nah, I don't like the game, but I love the developer's passion for it, and I plan to buy his next game straight away. I think I will like it ("Haunted Chocolatier") a little more, since it's less farming and more questing, but instead of farming, it's shop keeping.
