In 2020, Fanbyte podcast producer Jordan Mallory posted a tweet that not only went viral, but also crystalized a feeling of dissatisfaction that many have about the state of the gaming industry.

i want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and i'm not kidding

— jordan 🇵🇸 (@Jordan_Mallory) June 29, 2020

As with any good tweet, Mallory didn't elaborate, but anyone familiar with triple-A development knew what he meant. (...)
The Shorter Games With Worse Graphics Bundle aims to be the opposite of those games. There are a lot of true indie games out there made by solo developers or small teams with no publisher and no funding, and generally, Itch.io is the place to find them.
