For me? It's gotta be Ooblets. The wife was developing the game while the husband was in charge of marketing and social. They took the Epic deal and the husband posted a cringe and condescending blog post about why they took the deal why people should get over it. The backlash was expected but the husband went nuts on their discord and social pages in a typical onions boy fashion.

When Tale of Tales - developers of artsy walking simulators like The Path, The Graveyard and Sunset - went bankrupt after Sunset bombed, their founder went into quite vitriolic social media rants about how much gamers suck because they don't buy deep and mature artsy walking simulators and just want games with mechanics like they were playing with toys for children. I think just these two tweets have been saved from it.

>In 2002 I chose to use videogames as my artistic medium. The more I got to know the technology, the industry, the creators and the audience, the less I liked what I saw. I used to be quite vocal about this until I noticed that people seemed to hate me so much that they didn't want to play our games. So I shut my mouth, closed my Twitter, closed my Facebook, and only spoke publicly in diplomatic calculated marketing terms.

>Nothing much has changed in videogames. And I don't see a bright future for this medium if some radical changes don't happen soon.

If not I hope it will contribute, however modestly, to the utter annihilation of videogames as we know them.

I can't remember the name of the game.
But there was this weird roman game on steam, and in the patch notes the developer went full schizo and chud.
Complaining about trannies and gays.
Eventually steam stepped in, banned him from his own community forums, but then he would just unban himself because he was the game developer.
Eventually steam removed his game, and an anon actually dug up that the guy had been in a mental hospital before, and was posting images of how to escape it.

I liked watching my end-game gladiators basically become sanic and turbo murder niggers. Though, I do kinda like how the only way to actually win the game is to free you gladiators, since your freed gladiators will come back to rescue you while your remaining slaves turn on you.

Why would a company keep you who seethes and opposes AI over another translator who is happy to use AI to enhance his work and get it done much much faster?

Artists, writers, translators, etc are all faggot retards throwing hissy fits about AI. which is probably why they get laid off over it. The only people who seem to be pragmatic are programmers who are all very happy to use AI to help. Well except webdevs, they get replaced by AI but that's because webdev isn't even programming anymore, it's just building LEGO with npm packages and then asking for $150k/year so it's no wonder the AI can do it just as well.

The re-evaluation still wasn't good and still was contrived nonsense that tried too hard to be postmodern in a very inauthentic way. It's not like a game with an actual theme that reveals itself in a natural way and is hinted at along the way and where the protagonist has no good traits that anyone would recognize let alone project themelves onto.

The games were bad and if I were Andrew Allanson, I'd be glad Running Shine dunked on my game so hard because there's no way that anyone would've played YIIK or anyone would've liked the game.

I say this as someone who pirated both versions of YIIK and played them. This faggot is just seething because people rightfully called his game a piece of shit and something not worth playing when the lack of organization or sense in the gameplay mechanics, setting, story and character relations also point to him not caring either.

YIIK is a good example of that. The fact that it's liked there should tell you that it's really that bad.

It is not. It is literally just this retard throwing out tons of philosophical ideas he read on Wikipedia and not using the narrative and character interactions to actually flesh them out in a cohesive manner. A game with one theme or a few themes that compliment each other can be good, but doing the work of a college freshman and just adding in a bunch of terms and ideas that have no real relation to another into a paper is literally just amateur hour.

YIIK is a very very shallow game, which is fine. Not all games need to be deep. But the fact that this retard advertised his game as being "postmodern" while just referencing Gnosticism and other shit along with that one Japanese author that he very blatantly stole a lot of ideas, narrative elements and even quotes from doesn't make it thematically dense. It means he 's doing the same shit he did with his previous indie effort Brothers and just copying shit without understanding why it should be included in the game.

It is a bad game made by a retard.
