What I don’t understand is why do developers make bad games? They should just make good games instead.
Gamers want good games, not bad games.
Well, the fact is that there are also a LOT of dumb customers willing to buy crap. God knows why.
Just look at the trending / best selling lists on Steam. There’s shit on there that I wouldn’t play if you paid me. Yet somehow there’s enough of a customer base for that that they sell it.
Honestly, Steam should look into setting a minimum quality level for things sold on the platform.

As much as everyone love Oblivion…it all started from there with the $9 horse armour DLC.

Kids. Fucking kids. Thankfully I am never that stupid to buy individual DLCs even when I was a child, which is compounded by familial circumstances and education, but kids will be kids. Either they stole their parent’s credit card to pay for useless virtual items, or they were spoiled and never taught with financial literacy.
horse armor that didnt even add armor to horses.
It just, iirc, 3x’d the horses base health.
Soo true

To be fair, the Prime Ministers should really be focused on more important things than a game companies software development.

Yess. I boggles me that the narrative is still “devs this, devs that”. It doesn’t take becoming a game dev to understand that actual software developers are not calling shots on plot twists, monetisation model and so forth. Like, what the hell is wrong with people babbling about devs?
