Ive learned Cyberpunk was made up by a ******
This explains why Poles made a game about it (they're *******)

There was significantly more creativity & originality in the 90s & early 00s than during any part of the "indie boom" of the past 10+ years or wherever you want to place it at.

The number of games with original ideas & mechanics was much higher despite there being maybe 1% as many games released overall.
And thinking on it, that's not even counting games with original ideas & mechanics that became mainstream.

I can guarantee most indie simps are ******** or ****** wannabe fuckers, as pretty much all the indie games are some allegory for ******** or ****** *******.

A significant amount of them seem to be concerned with "making games". Which is actually not good!
That might seem like a silly claim, but consider that they don't care about the contents of the game itself but the fact that it is a game. These games are trash games, gamejam garbage often padded out to sell on Steam. See also: viewtopic.php?t=4426-i-hate-small-games

These games are the video game equivalent of degenerate "short-form content": tiktok/youtube shorts, etc., Product to be consumed then move onto next nearly identical product without thinking too hard.
