Your games are mediocre now.
It's better to have a mediocre game that one can play, than an exceptional game that one can't.
You're free to make games now, and yet it's most often hard to justify money for a game that isn't a skin on a version of solitaire (on sale).
That's how bad your industry is. So, please, with your warning. As if you have work product to bargain with.
You act as if your industry is busy. Outside of a couple of exceptional studios, and infinite sequels on literally only a few popular formulas (whether or not these formulas are good is another discussion), your industry is largely non-productive. If we are utilizing your metric of good vs mediocre.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoI agree with you that there is a mountain of shit in the gaming industry. Is any other industry different? Are Instagram and Tiktok literally not brainwashing hundreds of millions of people? Do defense companies care that innocents are murdered with their weapons? Do airplane companies face any enforceable moral judgment that they encourage relatively rich people to engage in idle leisure in other countries rather than being productive with their time for society, to which they owe some level of production in exchange for the society that raised them? The argument knows no bounds. It is a matter of taste.
- mrangle 1y agoPoints for the most insane answer possible, no offense. No idea what you are talking about. Given that you work for the video game industry, perhaps your comment is in a sense perfect.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoThe last part of it is just me going off the rails, but do you really think only the game industry is bad?
- mrangle 1y agoGood luck with that really weird approach.
