Personally I disagree.
I am having fun playing some excellent indies that is released this year. This is not possible 25 years ago.
So glad the indie scene exists and is thriving. Media outlets/youtubers give AAA way too much airtime.
Even if it's them complaining about bad AAA games, that's still time that could be shouting out truly creative games.
I been avoiding AAA like the plague lately. It's $70 for half the fucking game and you got to consult a spread sheet to make sure you don't get the wrong one. Your lucky if you put 10 hours in on it total.
I found an indy game today for $15 and binged it for 10 hours. Hoping for a slow week at work to play more.
The number of gamers that are still entirely unaware of games like Noita or Project Zomboid (to name a few) is absolutely criminal.
Have not heard of project zomboid, will check it out. Noita is on my radar.
It's because of algorithms. Anything well known gets boosted because it thinks people will be interested. Honestly as gamers we should take a leaf out of the FFXIV community book and advertise the games we love more.
