Still working my way through the video and maybe you will touch on this. You are talking about how there is so many games and conferences, events, or whatever you want to call them; related to gaming, that some titles just get lost in the mix. Now as a gamer something like E3 is nice because it is a nice condensed way to see the "best" games. But looking at E3 2019, something in the ballpark of 130 games were shown off it looks like. Imagine being one of those other 700 developers from the 800 you mentioned. You just don't get any coverage in that scenario. Most of those games were bigger AAA titles too, which are the ones already backed by the money to get advertised well on tv and stuff.
True. But idk how valuable the coverage is for some of these indie games is to be in the showcase of 800 other games. They still can't afford to get onto big stages like Summer Game Fest, it was like $250k for a 60 second trailer.
In 2024, there are very few good games out there, outside of indie titles... We have the unfinished games that they fix later with patches and updates, basically having people to pay them to test the game... We have the games that are done, but they sell you 60% of it so they can sell you the rest as dlc... We have the free to play, pay to win games... We have the games that they basically remake every year as a cash grab for idiots (CoD, FIFA, WWE, 2K, etc.)... We have the second job games, ones with seasons or battle passes with daily and weekly quests with little to no return... And heres my thoughts behind this... AAA studios and devs have enough money to do their own showcases, and include it in their budgets... And we need to go back to proper game journalism, not justy shills paid to push crap
