- Comment on Stop Killing Games fails to secure EU law despite 1.3M signatures 3 days ago:
To be honest, this was to be expected.
That being said, this is more like a marathon than a 100 m sprint.
And the industry now knows that their leverage in not strong as they thought it was.
I am sure they thought it would never get this far.

CIG shares stats from which you can derives their average concurrency; it’s about 5,000 average for 2025. So somewhere ranked #150-200 in the Steam concurrency rankings (which often exclude MMOs and/or 1st party launchers).

- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 5 weeks ago:
Sounds cool enough, although the reviews suggest gameplay is middling which is OK as long as it’s got other good/unique thing to offer.
I don’t mind walking simulators if they are done well have something to offer in terms the overall package. I actually played Soma with a mod, I didn’t find the bosses to be scary, just a bit tedious, so I disabled them, they just walk around, it’s actually a bit unnerving.
That being said, I don’t think it’s a game for me as it feels very US suburb-crntric. I grew up in a massive metropolis and while one kid did have a car in his late teens, he was sort of a child of an minor oligarch. To be honest a car would be a liability back then. You’d be sitting in traffic for 3 hours on Friday evening, it was far easier (and more reliable) to take the subway to the downtown core.
Mind you while this was a big metropolis, you have a similar sort of experience in many large and even mood citizens cities.

- Comment on Let's discuss ideas how Game Pass should be structured and priced 1 month ago:
To be honest, I don’t think the indie gaming scene will ever fully transition to his model even in the worst case scenario.
The market is basically large enough that it can support a niche being independent in terms of channel fulfilment and avoidance of console style exclusivety.
Not to mention video games are arguably much more competitive than movies or streaming shows. Often people look to a specific production with shows and movies, with games, new franchises can often build upon and expand upon existing gameplay models.
Not that I think the subscription model is good, but it is clear that there is a segment of the market that prefers this delivery approach.

Just need to get to it. :)
Interestingly, with I find pre-1995 strategy games (original Simcity, Pizza Tycoon) games easier to get into than say pre-1995 RPGs (with a heavily modded Daggerfall being an exception).

I never played it myself, but it does seem to be heading in that direction.
- Comment on Driving game poll 1 month ago:
As weird as this sounds, I like doing this in GTA2 (still replay it every few years), although I do it became I like the grim-dark, almost cyberpunk atmosphere of the city in the second game. I feel like they’ve never gone that direction since.
Cloudpunk is another game where I enjoy just driving around and exploring with no goal, but once again, it’s more for the cyberpunk feels.

- Comment on Epic Games Pins ‘Fortnite’ Comeback on Disney Partnership (a Disney extraction shooter) 2 months ago:
Doesn’t sound like the Disney-themed game is going well.
Their PR rep seems to confirm (surprised at the relative honesty) this:
“Liz Markman, the senior director of global communications at Epic, said Bloomberg’s reporting is “not reflective of the ambitions of the Disney collaboration. We are building a new games and entertainment universe of Disney experiences.”
I play indie games and in more niche genres, so I am somewhat outside of mainstream sensibilities, but is there much of a market for a Disney-themed extraction shooter?
Seems like a bad fit, but what do I know.
