So this, and I can't stress this enough,LEVEL DESIGNER who wasn't involved with graphics or the engine or almost anything, said "Oh yeah if we made games like Undertale we'd have to shut our studio". This was maybe 2K18 or so, 2K19?
They're doing it to themselves & dragging us along for the ride lol

That's crazy wtf?!? There are also tons and tons and tons of games since Undertale that are very simplistic yet are adored by many! Even the old stuff from the DS era has fans!

But no no I was called an idiot because it has to be $50 + million dollar setpiece photorealism hot mess shooters or it won't sell.
*Looks at all the indies with 1% of the budget outselling them . Regularly*.

People be stoop'd.

Thiiiiiisssss.
Asshat devs are not as common as useless execs, but both need to remove their head from their ass.
Scope better, manage better, release interesting games. $20 for 12 hours of , idk ,metroidvania? Hell I'd play that.
Market is fucking thirsty for some creative stuff!
