When was this? Most of the series and studios that are milked to death today started as indie or AA projects at most before devolving into their current status. Even back when studios like bungie still earned people's adoration, they were still screwing over their consumers of games like halo 3 by doing the same things they do today with destiny, like paywalling vanilla gamemodes and challenges behind DLC that came out after them. This is just how the games industry and capitalism as a whole works, it's not about passion or satisfying the playerbase, it's about shareholders and publishers profiting as much as possible by rehashing the same monetization schemes and live service games.

Quake is a better Dusk, Deus Ex is a better Cruelty Squad, etc. This "Triple A bad, indie good" mindset lead to toxicity and an oversaturated roguelite market. While Triple A is currently making actually good games like the resident evil 4 remake, cyberpunk, Elden Ring and the like - indies are just realizing that there's a genre outside of roguelites. Not to mention, the comparison is extremely unfair and the numbers are pulled out of thin air.

It feels so nice to find someone that plays Worldbox the same way I do. Every time I watch KZreadrs playing the game they are just concerned of nuking their worlds, but they are never using the world building potential that this game has. I recently started a world and I've been taking notes on a notebook about the different events and important characters of the world, almost as a historian of the pixel kingdoms in my smartphone. I've written close to 70 pages of history, and I can surely keep going forever.

I was watching a video about bbr's success recently and it was talking about how publishers have almost become obsolete and tbh I kinda agree with it.

@gabrielcabral1665

10 ай бұрын

Because developer companies [studios] in the "AAA" [Corporate] side of the industry are subsidiaries, OWNED by the publisher companies; whereas in the "Indie" [Independent] side of the industry, developer companies and publisher companies are independent from one another, and maintain a purely transactional relationship (rather than the latter owning the former). An "Indie" studio will pitch a game idea to a publisher; if the publisher thinks the idea is worth the investment, they will fund the game's production and help with the marketing, distribution (e.g.: porting the game), etc, in exchange for a percentage of the game's sales profits (usually 100% until the game "pays for itself"; after that, it's usually a "50/50" or a "60/40" type division of the profits). This is a very "bottom-up" approach, and both parties get what they want - devs get the funding to be able to work on the game full-time, money for licenses, help with marketing, etc, and the publisher makes some money out of it. Meanwhile, a "AAA" company (e.g.: EA, Activision | Blizzard, T2, Ubisoft, etc) has and/or acquires studios, and then dictates ["top-down"] what games will get done or not, and how these games will be - SinglePlayer and/or MultiPlayer; Online; full-price or "freemium"; "Live Service" (early, buggy release, with loads of post-launch updates and support; plus DLCs, and all that); etc. When a "AAA" publisher acquires a studio, that studio may be given a lot of creative freedom at first, until they find their "niche" and build a dedicated audience; but eventually the publisher will pull the "reigns" and "play it safe", investing in and "green-lighting" projects that they KNOW will sell, and that they can monetize continuously in the long run. So for example, DICE, being owned by EA, has very little say in what becomes of the "Battlefield" franchise, for instance; but three "Battlefield" enthusiasts, dissatisfied with the franchise's current state, and who know [or who are willing to learn] how to make games, can develop something like "BattleBit Remastered" to scratch their [and many other people's] "Battlefield itch"...

i think there's some sort of tax scam with these huge companies hiring way more employees than they actually need ... and in the video game industry one would think well more employees means the game comes out faster and will be more polished ,,, but as we all know its the complete opposite and in fact its the smaller indie teams that have way less buggy games despite only having like 20 employees

This is a brilliant video. A few days ago, I realized that my favorite game ever, --** HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER**-- was made by ~10 people over the course of a few years. I could play it for hours and find no flaws in it, whereas many AAA titles are boring and don't encompass gameplay that I'd enjoy exploring.

Warband into Bannerlord was the perfect sequel. I didn’t play Early Access, on principle, but godamn the full release was great. Aserai ftw

I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning, but over the past couple of months, the algo has been feeding me plenty of content that...i actually enjoy. the recommendations are actually relevant, and I've been able to subscribe to a few new (to me) creators because of that. You're one of them. Have a sub.

Many AAA companies have their hand completely tied when they have to meet certain results for their investors, while also having to deal with growing development costs... plus trying not to crunch due to the growing discontent with that practice (even if I feel like it's almost inevitable with most games during the launch window... definitely not as bad as we make it to be). An indie company doesn't have that problem: if something's costy, they can go the cheaper route and move the entire project to a new engine or working environment very quickly; if they don't meet the expected results, they don't have a whole investors base or player base behind; if they need to crunch, they will do so without a consequence and the project directors will be the first ones in doing so. Adaptability in a f'd up economy is king. Smaller companies move better than bigger ones in unstable environments. If economy was doing great worldwide, we most likely wouldn't be complaining about AAA gaming, or not as much.

Verdun objectively disproved the old idea that " you can't make a fun WW1 game it's all just trenches and bolt actions."

Babe,wake up,the dude that posted about astrophobia posted again

Battlebit's main advantages I'd argue, are its more hardcore elements in wounds/ammunition/health system, build system, it's fast TTK, more full destruction, and ability to drag comrades, something promised in BFV and never delivered. BFV did have some of these aspects, but DICE for whatever reason chose to walk that back so far that 2042 doesn't even have the ability to fucking lean. For that, it has its cons though. No planes, no real unlocks for vehicles (afaik) or vehicle loadout compared to BF4, bit of a wonky class system that makes medics just about the only option for sustainability long-term because you have very few bandages w/o a medic and no ability to regain health otherwise. The community also prefers infantry action, and vehicle stuff is really just tacked on besides as used for transportation for the most part. FOV is also pretty wide by default, in-engine, which makes long-term engagements unbalanced in favor of those who have unlocked optics. And the spot system is a bit dodgy, and isn't utilized that much.

I really hope no one mentioned this, and I'm sure you've already heard of it, but dwarf fortress is a pretty fantastic history creation sim. So the history part isn't the BEST rn on the steam version because I think it's harder to access, but I'm pretty sure the original from the bay 12 games website makes it decently easy to access "legends" mode where you can see the simulated history of many different groups, and I'm pretty sure even animals and beasts, and the complexity of it is honestly quite mind boggling (to the point of indivdual finger and eye damage simulations). The history generation can even be customised in length, becasue you decide how much history of a world should be simulated at world creation, but I've heard larger time lengths can be pretty laggy to generate. Finally, all your exploits and blunders in the adventure mode (at the time of writing, a non-steam exclusive) and the fortress mode get added to the legends mode, so you can look back on that time you accidentally mined too close to a river and flooded your entire fortress, killing everyone!

The majority of the AAA market has driven me to indie games and games that came out 10-15 years ago
