Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.

@ylai it always belonged. every successful game was an experiment. a weird, quirky experiment.

Small indie studios instead of the hulking meat grinders of corporate giants.

that's why I hope the game-like genre naming really takes off that means I can just play the original and skip the rest

I imagine you're being facetious, but you'd miss a lot of great games this way.

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
