I don't have nothing against indies, but real. I'm just annoyed how they worship to indie devs like Jesus and they nut on nostalgia milking pixel retro PS1 junk from early access.

Why redditors are so unhealthy obsessed with indie games? Chud 12/23/25 (Tue) 15:51:31 №47088 [Quote]

Because they’re cheaper and better in general. But ngl, there has been some absolute indiesludge being forced recently, mainly rougelikes because they are easy to make

Try the last decade and a bit. 9/10 indie games that people try to force are garbage.
>Oh, I like this story element of the game, therefore it is a great video game!
WRONG, faggot! Video GAME, Not video STORY. Kill yourself out of my hobby.

I only play high budget AAA games, that are action packed, and with a cinematic soundtrack like Fallout 4, GTA 5 and Far Cry 4

story in these games is always some corny, 15 year old tumblr shit about corporations or realistic depictions of mental illness that were subtly referencing gender affirming transition

Supporting indie games is good as long as the indie game in question doesn't use its status as indie as an excuse to be shit.
Just look at kcd for example, they started out independent and broke yet they made a great game

If you thought about it for 5 seconds you'd have your answer, retard. Half the time these devs have been actively assraped by corpos, of course they're going to fucking hate them.

Niche indie games like Sprocket, Flyout, etc. are usually the only indies that I think matter. Notice how all the indies you hear about is shit like Deltatroon and the likes, never stuff like Project Wingman or Easy Red 2.
