Yo Balatro, go fund like 100 indie games then.
"artists deserve to be paid what they deserve"
"then why don't YOU do it?"
Do they not pay their artists?
i was making a comment it's weird to expect the balatro people to be who shells out when really we have a deeply rooted societal issue where all of our funding goes to big studios and mega corporations. our banks and governments prefer doing business with big business. then someone comes along and makes something that people really connect with and enjoy, and they use that platform to say we should fund small creative endeavors, and then someone's first response is to be "why don't you do that?"
oh I see I misunderstood your comment. I thought YOU was referring to Balatro.
i mean it was, but it was from sektor's perspective.
Oh no, my uneducated perspective of just reading the headline got some traction :D
ok
Nowhere in the article does anyone say anything about the company that published Balatro shelling out anything. They're just saying it's good to back indie games.
You're taking one sentence and creating an entire made up argument from it.
That's what Sektor was saying, not the article
why should Balatro fund them?
Who says the guy that created balatro is funding anyone?
Sektor. In the thread starter. In the thread you're commenting on. Things have context
God damn, i made some confusion here, and by just reading the headline :D
Who are you?
