PC gaming getting worse every year - sh.itjust.works

Nah, it’s getting better every year. Adding crappy games doesn’t change the huge backlog of great games I have.

My response to the points:

  • Don’t buy games until reviews are good - don’t buy on release day, and certainly don’t preorder
  • See 1
  • See 1, but replace “games” with "PC hardware"
  • We probably need a law here, but until then, see 1
  • This is stupid. Buy indies, they don’t pull this crap.
  • I would like to point out that indies do indeed pull crap, just different crap. Just look at the ocean of abandoned Early Access games for one example of it.
    Never buy early access on the hope that the game will get better. Buy it if it’s at least good enough to justify its current price tag right now.

    I will sometimes buy early access if its a game that I hope succeeds and does well. But I also recognize that comes with risk. I am not saying what people should do with their money, just that indies are not some magical saviour that are somehow immune to the same problems AAA studios exhibit.

    Buy what you want, just recognize that nowadays no matter what you buy comes with risk greater than what it would have been in the past.
