  • One reason is that the Epic Games revenue split gives more to the developers. That being said though, they do enter exclusivity agreements with publishers all the time, which is anti-consumer.

    But MudMan’s comment was more about how the meme denounces store-exclusive games, yet games that are available only on Steam are also store-exclusive.

    GOG is a bit of an outlier. They allow developers to list their games DRM-free so their customers can truly own their games. If store exclusivity is the problem, GOG is the solution - not Steam.



  • I recommend CrossCode, if you haven’t tried it. It’s a top-down twinstick shooter/fighter so the gameplay is comparable to some of those you’ve listed and the story is long and unforgettable, with tons of fun optional content. Probably my favorite game narrative; there’s nothing like it.

    Some other favorites of mine are Revita, but there’s little in terms of story, and Outer Wilds, but it’s a slow burn. And if you’re looking for games to play with friends, these are some of my favorite multiplayer indie games:

    • Deep Rock Galactic
    • Roboquest
    • Gunfire Reborn
    • Don’t Starve Together
    • Risk of Rain 2

    (Also Starbound, Terraria, & Core Keeper but those are bigger time investments)






  • I don’t think that. The image reads “tensed up” and equates it to empathy when it’s indicative of fear. Then it suggests that you don’t have empathy because you don’t have the same visceral reaction to something that doesn’t instill fear for your life.

    Of course we’re concerned about this. I was pointing out that this post is suggesting that we’re not.
