Gamers hold the industry as it exists right now in the palm of our hands. We all miss the days when passionate people made great games. Now, we're stuck in the cycle of "enshittification". Corporate boards only care about making money with battle passes, microtransactions, and perpetual revenue models.
But after playing one incredible recent game made by a small studio, I realized we don't have to accept this. We have the perfect storm standing right in front of us to force the change we want. There is a way to push big business out, but it involves making a unified choice about a game that is considered "too big to fail".
I usually do streaming tutorials, but this is a conversation every gamer needs to have. Share this idea, tag your favorite creators like Asmongold or SmashJT, and let's get them talking!👇
