Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

I'm cautiously hopeful about Nightingale. The game trailers and $30 tag caught my interest. I've played a LOT of survival games and only played a few extensively, like Valheim. But survival games are a huge time sink, so I can't give most of them the time they deserve. But the multiplayer and community aspect for Nightingale makes it seem worth the time.

Just gotta wait a bit after release for the reviews.

Yeah the flow of great indie games isn't going to dry up any time soon. So many developers willing to actually take risks with their games and not just churn out another copy of a copy of a copy. Art needs passion to be good.

Yeah foss games are just way better because if you like the game then you can expand it
