"Indie" games aren't even a real thing btw

Date: April 30th, 2026 1:06 PM Author: gaming discord for older dads (30+) Not sure "who needs to hear this" but there's literally no such thing as an "indie game"
It's just a cynically made up term to psychologically lure gamergoyim into buying random slop garbage that studios don't even put any real effort into |
Date: April 30th, 2026 1:09 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy The gameim will fall for anything. These "indie" games are made using the same slop engine & dev tools as AAA garbage there is almost nothing bespoke (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5862033&forum_id=2...#49854523) |

Date: April 30th, 2026 1:15 PM Author: gaming discord for older dads (30+) Yup and it's especially $ad and $ick because the "indie" meme ensnares so many "based and redpilled" gamers because they think they are "sticking it to The Man" (big studios filled with trannies and jeets and women) when in reality they're just feeding the beast (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5862033&forum_id=2...#49854535) |

Maybe they get into Retro Titles at some point. Do they play them? Maybe. But some of these retarded Consoomers just want to Consoom. They want to buy Cartridges and smell instruction manuals. |

Date: April 30th, 2026 1:40 PM Author: cowgod It had a bigger budget than 1 or 2 Metroid Prime games combined. Probably a bigger budget than the entire 2D Metroid series put together. And it had a publisher ffs.
This shit is completely ridiculous. They’re completely intellectually dishonest and they’re preying on Gamers who lack critical thinking skills.
Undertake is Indie. Team Cherry is Indie. Fine. Let the westerners have that. But ffs…. |

Date: April 30th, 2026 2:02 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) how are they not a "thing". Slay the Spire isn't an indie game?
you know when Konami was publishing Castlevania they didn't hold it in high regard, gave it to a few ragtag Engineers with a low budget. I don't see how there's a big difference between something like that and Hollow Knight or whatever.
btw I'm currently Playtesting and Indie Horror Title so that proves your theory wrong imho, and I say this as someone who has been critical of Iran in the past. |

Date: April 30th, 2026 2:46 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) a lot of indie games are just takes on japanese genres like metroidvania and turn based rpgs. i don't see a reason to get up in arms about it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5862033&forum_id=2...#49854654) |

Date: April 30th, 2026 3:26 PM Author: cowgod It’s more the Extremely Stupid fans dragging the entire medium down. Seems like we got better games before the median player was a gay autistic adult. Like imagine being like “wow, a Reprieve from AAA. Time to get my credit card out,” and meaning it.
Meanwhile with FF7 advertising and FMVs Sony had to get western parents and Gen Xers to buy a whole assed console. And they didn’t even get ff7. Most got wipeout xl and shit. Preppy parents and Gen X intellectuals are far, FAR upmarket of the current Gaming Fandom.
Indie games in and of themselves are but Microtransactions. The thing that gamers despise most. You’re microtransacting when you buy $10 games imo.
I mean MSFT is a Joke because they aren’t really able to do hardware OR software effectively. Everything has to be an instant 95% margin Success or else they Axe it or Ruin it bc American businessshits are trained to avoid the Sunk Cost Fallacy at all costs. |

Date: April 30th, 2026 6:54 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) cowshit eventually one just must accept that stupid people exist and will always be making more of each other. there were probably net 20% fewer stupid people existent in the 90s. this is the cross we bear for democratization afaict. that said, I would argue the guy who is playing indies is more intelligent than those who congregate on CoD and GTA Online. He probably has a refined YouTube accent and enjoys A24 Films. He might have even read a book or two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5862033&forum_id=2...#49855254) |
