Give me one good reason why you are still playing pre-chewed and calculated, colorless corporate AAA products instead of indie games where the true innovation lies.

I get tired of playing 2D games sometimes

I don't care about innovation.
I do play indie games, though. Some of them are very good!
Caleb Taylor
I wish there was more of a middle ground between AAA and indie
Hudson Jones
But that's literally the opposite of what I do.
Wyatt Brooks
Lovely. There's some hope
And yeah, everything non-AAA, non-indie is pretty much dead today.
Bentley Myers
most indie games are the artistic equivalent of someone's first doodles in a sketch book, except they thought to release it for sale before getting any good at it
Thomas Wood
True for most stuff on Steam for example. Way too many bad games released weekly. That's a pity, because gems get buried easily.
Parker Murphy
One of the favorites from last years

But I don't buy Triple A games anymore

AAA killed the small businesses level. They always get bought out. Last time we had a mid budget company it was CD Projekt back when they still were a small Polish team and not purchased and outsourced.

You're supposed to cherish and take care of Satsuma, not start engine fires.

It's 1995, at the start of Finnish summer. To keep yourself occupied during the long days, you've collected all the parts you need to work on a project car. Piece it back together, drink copious amounts of beer, and work a series of odd jobs to pay for groceries and aftermarket parts. Awaken your inner amis.

These genres are all saturated right now, and I've seen little sign of indie devs moving into anything that requires more effort.
That said though, indie devs with the money and manpower to make games beyond these genres generally just turn into regular published developers anyway.

I love this game, such a great time sink.
Lucas Allen
True, this is pretty much it. Luckily some of those games are super well done, take Hollow Knight as an example.
Standing out of the crowd is still very difficult even if you have a quality product.
Austin Wood
any Kero Blaster fags?
