- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 1 day ago:
I would add CDPR and Firaxis to that list. Although I would argue Firaxis has almost become a victim of its own success. I still play Civ 4 and 5, because with mods there is an infinite amount of playability.
The Civ 4 Dune total conversion is a lot of fun and it’s still getting updated (albeit these days it’s just new art from the movies).
- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 1 day ago:
I posted a negative comment about Paradox games (stopped playing them because of DLC spam) in reference to Borderlands DLC.
In my defence, I post about indie games all the time on the Fediverse, even had random people message me thanking me for helping them discover some cool game.
I will stop with the flexing. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 1 day ago:
I stopped playing Paradox games because of this.
Not mention that there are indie game alternatives that often offer something more innovative (albeit less polished) when it comes to Paradox-style strategy games.
- Comment on There's nothing 'euro' about 'eurojank,' says Stalker dev 1 day ago:
I personally think “eurojank” is almost like a sign of quality. Sure you can have a bad game that has janky elements, but any truly innovative/interesting games will have some measure of jank because you’re not dealing with a template.
Then there is issue of genre. Complex strategy games like Kingdoms Reborn, Transport Fever 2 or Evolution of Ages: Settlements.
Settlements in particular can superficially look like some trash game, but if you get into it you’ll find a very in-depth game that takes inspiration from multiple genres, allows for very different playstyles and requires you to experiment and take risks to beat often overwhelming odds.

- Comment on To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic 1 week ago:
The headline and even the content of the article don’t make much sense and I don’t get why they are so focused on the term authentic (and what do they mean by it).
Surely a viral coop game, $70 AAA and a $20 indie game can all be authentic (or not). So what does authenticity mean in this context?
And some “clones” are actually pretty fucking good.
How big is traditional marketing for games in the US or Western Europe? I remember seeing billboard for TheSims, COD and a few other games when I/lived travelled in the US, but this was a while ago
In Ukraine, the only time I’ve seen traditional marketing for video games was with new Stalker game.
I would almost be inclined to say digital hobby news/discussion (doesn’t matter which platform/type) has de facto become traditional marketing in context of video games.

I also wanted more, but I think you are right, it’s paced exactly right for what it is.
Sometimes less is more.
