You can't honestly expect integrity out of the guy who's spent the last 10 years spinelessly shifting himself to anything and everything if he thinks it'll get him even a sliver of recognition and money. The man posted pictures of himself with his ex-wife's boyfriend's jizz on his face and now wears a wig all for Twitter likes.
i admit to having not played a lot of vintage strategy games, so I had never even heard of SSI, and a quick look shows I’m unfamiliar with any of their games. But the sheer volume implies that at least some of them are good because there’s a lot for such a short time span.
Being "A trans woman" is not even close to being the same as being an SJW. Hell, hiring one doesn't count, either.
Sorry, I'm shit at this internet bullshit. Im a boomer who plays old PC games
The dude who made Celeste trooned out, if that counts. Kind of an 'ehh' to me, because that game is just a generic Super Meat Boy spinoff that got really popular for some reason.
On a long enough timeline, every indie game dev will troon out. It's inevitable.
I've always thought the playtime:money model was a really dumb way to rate a game's value, and is usually used as a last resort by people trying to cope with the sunk cost fallacy; if you truly enjoyed something you don't need to convince yourself it was worth the money.
There are a LOT of indie games that owe their success at least in part to virtue signaling and having characters/humor/stories that speak to troons and fags and give them projection/validation material, or flat out fetish material.
Notch got cancelled & therefore you aren't allowed to talk about him anymore.
I'm struggling to find why this is, but it really is the critical darling at the moment and especially among that demographic.
Imagine if Jimbo tried to play Underrail, he would probably make several videos raging on how its not pc or easy. Even though it has an easy mode. I could see him flipping his shit not even getting past the rathounds.
I'll admit I haven't followed Toby Fox too closely, but he struck me as more of a lefty that toes the line. Half of the characters in Undertale are androgeneous and have no hesitation on gay relationships, so I could see the argument, but it was more of a postmodern circlejerk than anything (every scene or character was subversive). Never really felt preachy like every other SJW dev listed though.
Deltarune Ch. 1 was way more obvious with the pandering to alphabet people. Kris is even more an obvious self-insert for depressed suicidal spaklegender troons, and Toby knows who his audience is.
I think it's more a case of, well it's a good game with nothing they feel obligated about bitching over. I know some SJW types IRL, and some of them feel a social pressure to join online outrage to avoid being harassed in their real lives by the outrage machine. Apparently the SJW types will declare you terrible for simply not joining in on the outrage and go after your job.
