I don't think this is a bad article - or discussion - altogether, but this excerpt really brings out the most crucial aspect, or rather how its missing:

Missing from the discussion is a sense of how much cash Slavic Magic and Hooded Horse need right now to sustain on-going Manor Lords development.

The point being, major games owned by large studios are driven by infinite growth because that's how their business model has shifted heavily into for the past few years. For minor developers, indie, solo or otherwise, the matter is far simpler: Can they afford their livelihood plus keep working on the game with how much they're making? If yes, good, keep at it. If not, then we have a problem.

Given how that's not detailed at any point, its impossible to really pick a side. If Styczeń has made enough money that he can afford to work on the game slowly for several months, this discussion is a non-issue. If he is struggling to make ends meet, or if he foresees struggling soon due to revenue slowing down, it might be time to work on rebuilding that publicity.

I'm not linking something like this in a sfw board, friend, you can just google it

Hey, you're welcome ^^

I just like posting stuff tbh but glad it makes you happy

This is an 11 year old article, so hardly "news"

This article coming out on the same day as another wave of layoffs, this time from Bungie, is an excellent view on the state of gaming criticism. Even if it were the best year for the products (there are several titles in the article that are curious), it's definitely one of the worst years for the people who work on them.

I hope the current wave of unionizing keeps manifesting and spreads to the gaming industry, because this situation is dire and it's only getting worse.

Warframe explains very little of its systems, and what it explains is generally poorly done. Upgrading and optimizing your abilities, acquiring proper mods and frames, how the levelling system actually works, generally anything that isn't "shoot at enemy until it dies" needs to be taught by another player or read upon.
