Ok I haven't listened to this in at least ten years... we absolutely crushed it and this is one of the greatest 100% game rewards of all time. Just one man's opinion
So, releasing a videogame on Steam in 2026 isn't really just about making the game itself and trying to get games media to cover it. It involves an entire mountain of arcane systems and social norms you have to navigate, social systems you need to engage with, that only care about the engagement and not the content of said engagement and because it is so opaque, there's no way of knowing if your poor sales are because you made a mistake, or because you were just unlucky. But, since we've all been turned into financial actors and the "Indiegames community" has been turned into a marketing phrase, we don't see other developers as potential allies in navigating this system. They are our enemies. Flooding Steam with their games, playing the algorithms, exploiting loopholes, not playing fair at a game that no one understands the rules of.
