Feels crazy seeing Prime's cultural cache start to decline with the recent 2D hit and hype cycle, but not surprising since we're at the end of a graphical arms race. Now it's such that only half the Prime series was ever great anyway, and more prone to "aging" to boot

Cloud gaming might be huge with these new console pricing models..Everyone's got marginally better internet going into the late 20s. Imagine publishers start doing tiered pricing for the cloud versus normal versions of a game??

Are there any indie studios that currently require funding? I can get it to anyone as long as they've produced like 3-4 months of business bank statements making over 10-15k rev per month

Just remembered that the R-Type Tactics remake should be out in two months, unless it gets another mysterious delay. They ran a Kickstarter for it way back in 2022. Admittedly it looks like a pretty impressive remake (combining two games and adding a third???), but that's a LONG time.
