To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it's good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.

You're listing games over a year old. Steam had over 14k new releases in 23. There's maybe 10 good games in any given year, and generally less than 3 great games. They are absolutely swimming in a pool od shit games.

It's a matter of perspective, I suppose, and I was really just naming semi-recent games that I enjoyed, so I assumed I didn't need to be exhaustive of every "good" game that has come out to satisfy the argument. There are hundreds of McDonald's for every French Laundry, dozens of Marvel and adaption movies for every Best Picture winner, and the same applies to games.

I genuinely insist that you focus on that pool of shitty games if you want to. I can see how concerned you and a lot of others in this thread would be, because that is only going to grow as development becomes more accessible. I'm going to focus on the high points, play the good indies in currently backed up on, and have a good time. I don't expect that supply to dry up any time soon.
