    While I don’t disagree with the video, I feel it focuses too much on the modern AAA scene, which, of course, is all about chasing the money. If you’re after big shiny AAA games, then yes, there are a lot of disappointments. However, on the other side, I think indie gaming has never been better. It just requires you to care about smaller games that aren’t AAA stuff.

      This is what I always feel when people complain about the state of video games.

      Yeah, some of us grew up blowing dust out of cartridges and we’d have 5 games per year. There are hundreds of thousands of indie games catering to every taste, many of them are really good. Not every game needs to be AAA slop.

        So many youtube videos like this, with nerds myopically focused on AAA trash failing to acknowledge that indie games are fucking awesome rn.

        It’s the same thing with movies. Everyone complains about how everything out of Hollywood is garbage, but there are so many good indie/artsy films out there.
