since they have less people to answer to and more freedom, do you expect them to try different things instead of making generic retro throwback #3000?

this makes me want to die. He had all the time in the world but that slop was the best he bothered to put out and somehow got rich off it. I FUCKING HATE zoomers because they do nothing but reward whoever the biggest faggot is every fucking time.

there are many unique indie games released on a daily basis
the majority flop completely because they lack marketing, or aren't appealing enough to the general audience
i'd suggest you check out itch.io if you want to find more unique indie games
many of them plateau at ~300 downloads, it's really sad to see

if you can't see the genius in vs design then you're retarded. the only thing that ruins the game is the metaprogression.

they might be unique but are they fun? gameplay comes first but then you have outliers like miiside who check all the boxes and blow up.

indie devs want to make money just like AAA devs
