A look into the sad trajectory of indie games from high successful releases to complete irrelevancy in just a few weeks or months.
That's the thing with gaming there's always new experiences to have why spend months or years playing a single game when there's a new experience right around the corner.
Indie or AAA if your building your game expecting long term player counts you'll probably be disappointed as gamers often enjoy something for a few weeks and move on only to return if it's truely a classic.
Out of all the generations I've experienced there's games from 30 plus years ago I still dust off and play like super Mario bros, earthbound, vice city and san Andreas being games I treasure and revisit every few years but I'm not going back to play a game designed to keep me engaged for months on end because it's also designed to milk my wallet in most cases.
Build a great game that people love make it playable offline and ask does it matter if the concurrent player count is under 100 a year post launch more often that not it doesn't
The price of entry is too high to take chances like I used to. Was looking at V Rising and that ranges from $50-$130 CAD. That’s a lot for an indie imo. By the time it goes on sale, the player count might be dwindling. But that’s the trade-off, I guess.
talk about bad QC
**** whoever this Livingstone asshole is. What a dipsh**.
OMG it has mono sound! The world is going to blow up now. Shesh. People are just to sue-happy these days.
If they do not let Harmonix release the PS3 patch for GH3/Rock Band that would be the next sue since they allow xbox to do it (wired but non the less)
I have little faith in the justice system as it is because of the stupid things people sue and win over in the past. If THIS guy wins, then I know our justice system will always be a sham.
who told you to buy wii. You wanna be cheap but you expect to be good too?? Aint suing waste u more money than buying a PS2??
