      Just because you only know three games, it doesn’t mean the rest of us do too. Slay The Spire, and Darkest Dungeon, are a couple of really well known and community loved indie games. Both excellent examples of what can be done with limited resources

        How does this contradict what they said though? Just because some niche community knows these games, it doesn’t make them platform-selling games. Valve had HL2 with episodes, Portal, TF2, CS, and Dota 2.

      These are enormous classics, made by small studio is not the same as unknown game. Sold much more than many triple a games, this is a very dry weak take

      Just to be clear, are you saying that STS and DD are “unknown indie games“?

      I’ll also chime in and say that Gamepass is hardly a “shitty platform” (not sure how that aplies tbh) even if I don’t like what it’s doing to the industry.

        it’s just a marketing term now applied to anything that isn’t triple A.

        Actual indie games aren’t getting exclusivity deals are they? there’s a reason it’s these specific devs talking.
