>AAA games are trash
>still /v/ will use "indie trash" at every opportunity
What is bad about indie games when self-publishing is so easy these days? What even is an indie game, is the lack of publisher enough? Is it just a useless buzzword now?
>What are AA games

Indie games are 99.9% of the time utter trash though because indie "devs" don't have the talent and/or budget to create quality games that don't rely on gimmicks.

indie games are 8 bit cash grabs with "quirky" humor

Also made in San Fransico by nu-males and misc. homos.
i wouldn't hate indie shit so much if i could just browse steam without having to wade through pages of pages of pure shovelware garbage
it is the current year and steam still doesnt have a fucking filter on its store page for fucks sake

All of these.
Also you need to be at least 18 to post here.
Indie games are trash because they do the most minimal amount of work on them to "recreate" the 8bit era.
You then get fucking ugly games that are clearly 16 bit colored games, usually boring as fuck platformers or "meme" games.
The gameplay is usually not even present, and sometimes the developer will make the game "hard" for the sake of "we have the hardest game around!!" viral marketing.
indie devs are mostly hipsters, people who grew up playing Atari or NES, and they want to rekindle that love but they have no actual skill in game design.
It's an easy route for them because they'd rather plop out a shitty pixel game over trying to push themselves to make something unique.
Also AAA games are trash.
AA and A titles are still good, even better
Indie games are bad in the same way your college band's demo cassette was bad.
As much as we lionize the DIY aesthetic, true masterpieces almost always take time, effort, and talent. Indie games look and perform the way they do not because the programmer truly intended for them to be that way, but because they can't do anything else.

these retarded nu males also dont realize that NES games only look the way they do because they were literally pushing the limits of the hardware at the time
shit was coded entirely in assembly and it still reached a point where there just couldn't be anything else on the screen or it would crash
retro pixel art is never, ever a deliberate design choice. that's pure marketing drivel. it's an excuse
