    Quantity or quality of indie video games cannot carry the state of the medium right now which is absolutely 100% god awful. In the 90s there was only Magic. Now every video game is Magic, but with guns. Or anime.

      This is just silly. That’s like saying fine art photography is dead because most pictures taken are bad or all music is bad because you only listen to top 40 stations. There are more bad games being made than ever and there are also more good games being made than ever.

      This is a overgeneralization of gaming that just looks at the very top film of “AAA” content, peer below and you see an actual microcosm of indie development and AA content being made by smaller dev groups and publishers as well as more international dev houses making games (A Space for the Unbound for instance is a banger game out of Indonesia). Don’t expect a return to pre skinner box “AAA” content (whatever the fuck that once was), it won’t happen.

      Tldr: stop buying shit games and try out non mass market appeal games
