DLC, microtransactions, lootboxes, and Preorders have ruined my life. There is but one respite from the wanton ruination in Indie Gaming. Discuss.

No its not. I played it and it was 180. You can reuse a map and have the game be completely different. In fact, one of my only criticisms is that it almost seems like they went too out of their way to try to do all sorts of things to make it different in order to avoid criticisms about them reusing the map. It was definitely a better game than BOTW, but I agree that part of the magic of a game like BOTW is the brand new map and game engine.

Indie Games are the only silver lining imo

AAA Titles have immense budgets and it's been Ruinous. publishers have become too risk averse

It became pretty clear no later than maybe 2005 or so that the magic of gaming was dead because gaming companies were spending all their resources figuring out how to monetize everything instead of making a game that’s actually fun to play

That’s called fuckin’ curation. Westerners for PC-assed games. Like properly PC GAMES and nothing else. Ok fine they might get ported, but SPIRITUALLY PC games. That means don’t play western console games and you’ll avoid so many problems.
