It's not one you should rely on. People don't stare at their Steam page every day.

This should have been promoted through the usual YouTube and Twitch channels. Find all of the YouTubers that review indie games and start sending emails.

Not at the rate they are releasing new seasons.

That's a lot of votes and comments.

Is there a search engine that doesn't leech off of some huge corporate API?

I think NRFTW is fantastic, and it’s exactly what I was expecting it to be. However, people saw it at the same “style” as Diablo or Path of Exile and expected the game to be like those… except they’re not. And for those that do realize that, you have the other idiots that refuse to accept that it’s an EA game that still has a long roadmap until completion and bitch about the lack of an “endgame.”

Honestly, I think trying to compete with Diablo and PoE2 is already too much, even if it's trying to say it's not those. Those games are huge, with long-running, dedicated fanbases, and they do enough to oversaturate the market just fighting amongst themselves.

This was the wrong type of game to be trying to dive into the first time they cut themselves off from Microsoft's financial cushion.

It's always lack of advertising. The unfortunate fact of life is that 99.99% of indie studios have no clue how to market their game. They think they just have to make a good game, and boom, people will flock to it.

Steam is there to make sure users have a platform to download their game. It's not there to market it. Marketing is just an occasional side effect.

At this point, I'm just calling this an excuse.

I mean, fuck Japanese IP laws, but also fuck Nintendo for trying to gaslight us into pretending everything is normal and standard. Nintendo of America is not in fucking Japan. They play by American rules with American audiences, and Americans will bitch about their practices.

You don't sell a Chevy Nova in Mexico and call it a Nova. Adapt to the region you sell to.

Awesome, a smart watch with no display. Very cool!

Hey, everything can be fixed with mods, even bad enemy AI.

A city with 70% black people, and they find the one white guy to put on the front page of the article.

No, there wasn't.

Pretty much all modern TV series nowadays. You can't make a proper TV series when your actors/actresses and the rest of the crew have such long breaks. At a certain point, you just end up losing critical actors or writers or other members of staff.

The Expanse just kept going until the end, and SyFylis cancelled then, and then when Amazon cancelled them for good. Five and a half seasons in seven years, and that's even with the cancellations and COVID.

Oh, geesh, where have I heard this pattern before with technology? Is it self-driving cars? Remember when the sky was falling because everybody said car transportation was going to change overnight because a bunch of fucking college students figured out how to win a self-driving car race. Where the hell is my fully-autonomous Level 5 self-driving car that was going to replace all of the truck driving jobs? Oh, what's that? Are all of the jobs still here?

Technology moves the needle. It does not jam it all the way to the other side. Stop spending trillions of dollars on pipe dreams, only to have to force expectations back to reality ten years later.

Okay, now apply that argument to the next levels upstream, the ISP, backbone providers, CDN providers, the domain name holders, the SSL certificate trust companies. They all earn money with it.

You see how ridiculous that argument becomes.

If they had confidence in their reporting, they wouldn't post this in their Opinion section.

Those assholes don't give a shit about "freedom of art" when video games like Wolfenstien can't get released in Germany.

Sooo, American Gods?

you see in Yeezus that he’s kinda bringing the experiments of groups like CLPPNG and Death Grips to the mainstream.

You mean this Yeezus merch? This was the same timeframe. (Sorry, different concert. This was later.) He wanted people to buy this shit as a bundle with a concert ticket.

Also, Death Grips was already mainstream. They didn't need some insane motherfucker to sample their work to get popular.

Good luck finding D programmers.

It's written in Brainfuck, but it's really really good. Trust me, bro!
