"yeah but PC game aren't physical either" why do you think we also ask for DRM free games on PC? Put a DRM free game on an SD card and... You have a physical version of the game! My games are all DRM free on PC to this day, and I don't want this to change.

Maybe an unpopular or even controversial opinion but some people really, REALLY don't deserve free games or games in general. The way some of y'all treat game devs (especially indie game devs) is extremely entitled, rude and, frankly, inconsiderate.
I hate this kind of headline framing, the tale of rags to riches and promise of exceptionalism if only stars align with the proper blood sacrifice and ritual abnegation. Come over baby, even you can make a game alone or with a friend and become rich and famous! Probability: 0.0001% - not impossible.
IGN@ign.com · last mo.Meccha Chameleon, the painting hide and seek indie game that's become a Steam hit, was made by just two people in two months — and now it's sold over 10 million copies with zero marketing. bit.ly/43YMwev #IGNSummerOfGaming
Steam Machine seems so dead on arrival, it's crazy. For the same price you can get a switch 2 bundle and 10 full price games, including 9 full price (overpriced) PHYSICAL COPIES that you can resell and that don't take up storage space.
damn. valve is at the mercy of industry players that dwarf them to such an extent they just have to deal with whatever they're being charged for access to the market? that sounds rough. can't imagine what that's like kotaku.com/valve-says-t...
Valve Says It Can't Negotiate With RAM Makers At All On Price
If that sounds a lot like a cartel, well, you wouldn't be the first person to point that out

I'm from France and I can tell you that I just got the most enjoyable mango sorbet of my entire life.

This is a quote from valve about their new steam machine and vendor lock-in: "We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term." "open ecosystems are better", do you think steam is an open ecosystem ?
If your game doesn't fit into any box, maybe try to think outside the box 🫳🎤

Two of the most toxic (non-political) ideas in gamer culture are (i) that games are time-fillers, not experiences; and (ii) that games should entertain you forever, rather than that they end and you move on.
Tim Krief@timkrief.com · 2mo agoA negative review my 90% positive game just got What I read: "Yes it's fun, but since this is priced accordingly and I don't want indie devs to be sustainable, I would not recommend this game." Please indie devs, don't fall for this. Set the right price. Don't be part of the race to the bottom.

I for one have never complained when I see an indie game priced at 20$-40$ instead of the usual 5$-10$. Sadly I'm also a cheapass who only ever buys games on sale. Gamers need to get over the indie stigma and remember devs have bills to pay to make the damn game.
I've said this before I'll say it again- people like this are completely rotten. You'll see your fair share of them if you're a first-time dev, and they'll say this even if you UNDER-priced your game. You should use common sense, but you should also sell your work for how much YOU think it's worth.

If you wonder why indie games are dominated by roguelikes, this is part of why. Make a game that ends? You attract these people complaining it isn't long enough or is too expensive. Make a game that you replay forever and you get to reuse levels and art and ward off the playtime complainers.
