This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, and crappy games existed when FF and others were made.

My point is that good games based on engines exist with a variety of art styles and whatnot. A lot of crappy games also exist, because the barrier to making games is much lower these days. The engine isn't the problem, the devs are.

Agree to disagree I guess. The engines opened the flood gates, before bad games were news worthy. Now they're the norm. Not that engines aren't awesome tools, they just lower the barrier significantly and thus more shitty games get made.
