My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
how much money do young americans have to blow on video games? people are struggling. is it really surprising that, as disposable income vanishes, so does recreation spending?
I echo this a developer with a top app on the Meta Quest. My USA sales have fallen off a cliff, while other regions like Asia and Europe have increased a little.
Maybe it's because all the good games are indie games that cost a fraction of the batshit insane prices these shady corpo outfits are pushing?
Young Americans can already barely pay for food and rent let alone luxuries like entertainment
Because they feel frustrated that they cant keep playing the games they paid with their hard-earned cash due to publishers destroying them.
For me, its the long term viability of older games vs new ones. I can play older games on their original console or pc and they don't have always onoine functions that break the game when the server shuts down. Hell, I am having a great time re-playing nfsu2 on my og xbox. I don't find it any less fun than most wanted or some of the newer ones when I only have 30 minutes to play.
Survivorship of older games is a really good indicator that they’ll continue to be available in the future. Like you said, too many modern games are online only and turn to expensive nothingness when the servers are shut down.
