Part of what ruins games for me are the massive publishers behind them. EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar.
The games may be great. The developers may be great. The studios (by and large) interfere in the process of development, the monetization, the end-of-life plan…
For me, when I have the chance to play games, I’ve found myself opting for smaller studios or indie games.
Also I want to shout out Ross Scott of Accursed Farms. He covers so many cool and obscure games. He has worked incredibly hard towards enacting pro-consumer business practices in the gaming world. He’s a very smart and pragmatic guy. I would highly recommend anyone who’s into gaming to check out his site and content.
To me, he’s been an inspiration in his uphill battle of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He’s been working through the apathy, the negativity, the doubt. It’s actually incredible what he’s achieved. A man with passion and a plan, who happens to also make some damn good game related videos.
Ok I realize this just turned into a love letter for Ross Scott. I’m okay with that.
