This entire smear campaign is investor backed.
The reality is they are upset that indie devs are eating their pie, and they think people should be buying $80-100 games WITH microtransactions, battle passes, and so on. The fact that Hollow Knight is one of the biggest games this year, after the AAA industry has received bad headline after headline, failure after failure, and one of the only other notable games this year is fucking DELTARUNE. They are scared of indie devs because they've actually captured the hearts of young gamers in particular, a market they wish they had.
So they come up with one of the most ridiculous "IT'S TOO CHEAP AND THIS IS LE BAD GAMERS!!" jewish argument I've heard. You just know a fucking Fortune 500 shill typed that crap up, and this is not the first time they've been typing up LITERAL PROPAGANDA on "gamedev" oriented sites, where they have to leave a disclaimer at the end of the article saying "Oh yeah we added a note to let the reader know this guy is employed by a fortune 500 company".
