I very much agree with the OP. I think I agree with Veknoid_Outcast even more though. What I really like are 1) Western indies, 2) Japanese games which are mid-budget (i.e. AA) or 3) Nintendo games. And I also agree that Nintendo has been gradually adopting more of the disgusting practices of the Western game industry.
I play some indie games, but the thing that holds me back the most is that many are digital only. I really like having a cartridge. But if it's on a cartridge and the game is well made then I'm all for it. One of the best games I've played this year was Axiom Verge. Bring on the indies!
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
