AI is a scourge. But it is important not to trust "AI detectors". I lost regular freelancing work because my client insisted I used AI to write copy (I didn't, but their AI detecting software said I did). This is a great thread with an excellent example of why these detectors cannot be trusted.

"yeah but PC game aren't physical either" why do you think we also ask for DRM free games on PC? Put a DRM free game on an SD card and... You have a physical version of the game! My games are all DRM free on PC to this day, and I don't want this to change.

Maybe an unpopular or even controversial opinion but some people really, REALLY don't deserve free games or games in general. The way some of y'all treat game devs (especially indie game devs) is extremely entitled, rude and, frankly, inconsiderate.

I hate this kind of headline framing, the tale of rags to riches and promise of exceptionalism if only stars align with the proper blood sacrifice and ritual abnegation. Come over baby, even you can make a game alone or with a friend and become rich and famous! Probability: 0.0001% - not impossible.

Steam Machine seems so dead on arrival, it's crazy. For the same price you can get a switch 2 bundle and 10 full price games, including 9 full price (overpriced) PHYSICAL COPIES that you can resell and that don't take up storage space.

a cart with nintendo switch 2 bundle with pokopia, esport resort, splatoon raiders, xenoblades, 1, 2 and 3, donkey kong bananza, hades 2, orbitals and mariokart worlds. 1109.90€

This is a quote from valve about their new steam machine and vendor lock-in: "We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term." "open ecosystems are better", do you think steam is an open ecosystem ?

Two of the most toxic (non-political) ideas in gamer culture are (i) that games are time-fillers, not experiences; and (ii) that games should entertain you forever, rather than that they end and you move on.

I for one have never complained when I see an indie game priced at 20$-40$ instead of the usual 5$-10$. Sadly I'm also a cheapass who only ever buys games on sale. Gamers need to get over the indie stigma and remember devs have bills to pay to make the damn game.

I've said this before I'll say it again- people like this are completely rotten. You'll see your fair share of them if you're a first-time dev, and they'll say this even if you UNDER-priced your game. You should use common sense, but you should also sell your work for how much YOU think it's worth.

If you wonder why indie games are dominated by roguelikes, this is part of why. Make a game that ends? You attract these people complaining it isn't long enough or is too expensive. Make a game that you replay forever and you get to reuse levels and art and ward off the playtime complainers.

My bestie and I just talked about this! I buy games. I buy books. Do i play or read them all? lol Even if I don't enjoy something, I have a hard time leaving bad reviews (offensive or harmful I will.) Artists deserve compensation. If you don't think the art is worth it, don't buy or consume it.

By the way I have to add something, the game is available on @itch.io and it's $12 there, because the platform doesn't take as much, so I pass the earnings to players, but those users will use steam and complain about prices to devs. Want better prices? Ask valve to lower their share.

A negative review my 90% positive game just got What I read: "Yes it's fun, but since this is priced accordingly and I don't want indie devs to be sustainable, I would not recommend this game." Please indie devs, don't fall for this. Set the right price. Don't be part of the race to the bottom.

Steam review: Not recommended. 15 dollars for this is ridiculous, it's pretty fun but there's so little substance I can't in a million years understand why it costs this much

heads up that one of the best pieces of media to ever exist is only 12 dollars and forty-nine cents right now that is the deal of the century if you havent played this game at this point you really owe it to yourself as someone who enjoys good things.

steam midweek deal for the video game outer wilds being 50% off and priced at only 12.49$.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

Just a little follow up on this, I published this in September last year, and it seems like google has repeatedly now used this video as a source to say that the pool of the titanic is not full of water. This is still the public answer and it uses its own false answer as the source for its answer.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
