But but but... Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.
and nowadays im siding with the indies.
triple A has been pretty dissapointing lately.
But what about AAAA?
how long until we have AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games
🎶We come from the land of the the ice and snow🎶
🎶From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow🎶
What do you mean? We already have them. For example, Dark Souls makes me go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA all the time.
I think someone probably made a possum simulator.
Press X to scream at own ass.
Lol, yeah. Lately.
Honestly the XBLA (Xbox live arcade) kicked off a lot of indie games, that was short lived though it differently has the best chance on PC
The best thing to come out of Microsoft's push into the indie space was XNA, which even now stands as one of the best game development frameworks of all time. It's a shame they murdered it in its crib.
(I know Monogame/FNA exist, but I'll always wonder where the project could have gone with Microsoft-level funding)
