You’re mostly here to self promote from what I can tell. It shows in your post history and the fact that you though it’d be more important to link to Steam and not the article itself.
And so they bloody well should be! How the fuck else are we going to find out about cool, unique indie projects instead of mass produced corporate slop?
Independent creators should absolutely be encouraged to self promote in communities like this, or else what the fuck are we doing here? Just shilling for Activision?
I want to learn about it either through an independent journalist or from a space dedicated for self promotion. Ads are poison, haven’t we all learnt?
Well, I post every few months when I have something new and interesting to show. This community in general has been very friendly and like being part of it.
And that’s fine!
Yeah I don’t want to find out about games in this game community.

That’s fine for me. The dev does not spam but gives me some insight in his development and his struggle to get people to play his stuff.

It becomes a problem once others see this is permissible. It’s not that much now but once everyone realises they can put ads here for free how do you imagine it goes from there?
