Is it safe to come out and say the games 'industry' is a poor sequence of jokes (gimmicks, sequels, clones, DLCs, and other riff-raff)and that our only salvation lies with kickstarters, indie games, mod teams, and other upstarts?


Why do games even need to be in an 'industry'?

Haven't most of the bigger kickstarters been sequels, clones and other riff-raff?

Wasteland? Carmageddon? Leisure Suit Larry?

Uhm, no.

Grim Dawn, Dead State, FTL, Tim Schaffer's Adventure, Takeout, etc.

Grim Dawn: Titan Quest clone, which in itself was a Diablo clone
Dead State: original, but at $65k not really one of the "bigger" kickstarters
FTL: original
Tim Schafer: original
TakeDOWN: R6 clone


But fine, you are one of the first to call something a CoD clone, let's be totally bias and not call Grim Dawn a Diablo clone...

In that case every single game out there is a clone of a past game, period. But then again your bias against KS has always been known around here.

You're an idiot if you think I have a bias. I've backed, at this point, 7 games, 18 projects and put in over $3,000.

I'm not dancing in the streets going "OMG the industry is dead LOL but indies are amazing LOL they do nothing wrong HAHA and every major publisher games sucks HAHAHAHAHA I will never play another big budget game ROFL but indie games will do everything they can LMAO and there's no reason to be cautious about spending money on something before it's even made TEEHEEHEE."
To you that's a bias.
