  You’ll find far fewer of them creating when they need to spend more of their time at a job that will allow them to feed their families. And I don’t think the games I’ve found for free (actually free, not given away for free once as a promo) have tended to be better than the paid ones.

    I've put more hours into Infiniminer, Minetest/Luanti, Industry, Dopewars, dnd, dopewars, and various Twine/Frotz games than any corporate games. When I do want an FPS (rare), I look at Doom sourceports and maybe Cube/Sauerbraten.

    And there's the real time-murderer: Nethack.

      Having a personal taste and preference that lets you enjoy free indie and/or old DOS games is great for your wallet, saying these games are “generally better” than paid-for games funded by corporations is wild to me.

      To each their own, but I’d say none of those compare to Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Skullgirls.
