Message: [QUOTE="Adrastia, post: 136889, member: 781"] Maybe a big crash and burn will create a phoenix. That might be too much optimism. But it would be great to have a big budget industry that shies away from the bloat and hype and just wants to deliver a great and very playable product. I've moved more towards indie games and retro. Same with film. Hollywood hasn't held my attention in years. The last big name film I watched ended up being The Substance. Sometimes something unique gets big instead of the usual slop. But it's a rarity. To me it's like a more graphic spiritual sequel to another favorite, Death Becomes Her. I feel bad for devs. It's not the fault of the average overworked dev that a game was rushed or full of poorly implemented concepts. The guy who designed the blades of grass is not your enemy. Blame the suits who don't play games and just want to make money. They like to hire consultant groups who know what those happenin' kids over at TikTube and YouTok think is groovy and radical. But the people in those consultant groups don't care about games either. They care about money. That's a big problem. Greed over fun. [/QUOTE]
