cool indie game i can't wait to get it once it's on steam. i think gaben deserves 30% of the money from it and i think the developer should have to put up with the dumbest metacritic brained motherfuckers on the planet as well. in general i really want to make sure the people making work i enjoy have as much of their time eaten up as possible dealing with guys who'll phone in a bomb threat if the game's framerate ever drops below 45, just to make the whole experience as degrading as possible. you're welcome 👍
yeah i know this is a petty thing to gripe about but i also remember when the steam greenlight fee was, totally arbitrarily, hiked to 95 buxx and there was real if futile discussion by indie devs about whether this was exclusionary to developers with no money. now it's $95 per game and i see friends and peers pay that much to release freeware on the platform just because otherwise they feel totally ringfenced off from their own audience. all for the thrill and privilege of being put on a list called "soy games" by noted curator wojackliker88. it's not that it ever got better for anyone who can't pay that fee, or don't have resources to deal with the nontrivial chance that they'll be made an example of by some consumer rights toady. there's just no longer a pretence of caring about these things, or about what happens to the medium once those kinds of conditions - invisible to some people, hypervisible to others - get taken as a given for the sake of enabling gabe newell's jerkoff yacht sessions. anyway.. Something 2 Think About...
