It is, in fact, not BS to be mad at a megacorp for cutting valuable and functioning assets, and the fact you do not understand that is hilariously pathetic.

If you're aware of people and games that do fit, then whining about it and talking about how they get crapped on instead of how cool their sfuff is doesn't help, either!

You seem to be more willing to paint things negatively than help improve, so why should we listen?

Who the fuck isn't mad at the megacorp?

My issue is the people who use this as an excuse to blame the devs who are just doing their jobs while trying to live their dreams.

Again. There are studios out there who are doing exactly what everyone insists they want AND are doing so in ways that make getting funding difficult. And they get shit on because of a "hot take" on twitter or because their game isn't as pretty as Call of Duty.

When large groups of people get laid off because of corporate bullshit? The answer is not to say "Hey, you should fucking do better next time". It is "Fuck corporations" or "fuck capitalism".

Fuck corporations

is precisely what everyone's been saying this whole time. Nobody's blaming the devs. Your rant is misplaced.
